"Them Tigers packed house on Super Bowl Sunday": Mom Kia Brooks expresses pride as Flau'jae Johnson's LSU locks horns with Tennessee

Flau'jae Johnson's mom, Kia Brooks, was part of a packed crowd that watched the sixth-ranked LSU Tigers beat the 19th-ranked Tennessee Lady Volunteers 82-77 in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on Super Bowl Sunday. She expressed her pride in the audience turnout at LSU, posting scenes before tipoff on her Instagram account.

Brooks was courtside as she shot the video of the players and the crowd getting ready for the Southeastern Conference clash. The self-proclaimed "NIL Momager" was hyped up as she captured footage of her daughter on the court alongside the other starters. Brooks kept repeating one message in the clip.

"That's our Super Bowl," Brooks shouted.

Brooks also included a message as the video clip played, highlighting the power of women's sports in her comment.

"Them Tigers packed House on Super Bowl Sunday at 3pm!! Women's Sports is here to stay!" Brooks posted.

Kia Brooks was referring to the crowd showing up for the LSU vs. Tennessee game despite the contest being scheduled hours before the Super Bowl LIX showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. She further explained her sentiments with the caption for her post.

"I'm thrilled to see the women's sports stage thriving! Today, on Super Bowl Sunday, with a packed arena, LSU vs Tennessee is more than just a game. It's a groundbreaking moment for little girls and women worldwide, inspiring them to chase their dreams," Brooks wrote.
