When we look back at some of the most iconic sports photos of the 2020s, one taken at the beginning of the decade may stay at the top of the list.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow finished his college career on top as a Heisman Trophy winner and national champion at LSU.
Soon after he conducted a win over Clemson in the title game, a now famous photo of him smoking a cigar in the halls of the Superdome was taken.
So naturally, when the Tigers won another title, it had to be done again.
LSU women's basketball defeated Iowa Sunday afternoon for their first-ever NCAA championship thanks to a 102-point outing on the game's biggest stage.
After the game, starting guard Alexis Morris sat next to the trophy, with a cigar in hand, and paid homage to No. 9.
Morris earned her moment to shine after the game. She scored 21 points on 57% shooting for the Bayou Bengals in the team's absolutely dominant all-around performance. She averaged 15.4 points per game for the season.
Teammate Angel Reese got in on the action by pointing at her ring finger as the title was in hand, much like Burrow did in the College Football Playoff Championship three years ago.
The way LSU took control of Sunday's title game was very reminiscent of Burrow's gridiron squad taking all of college football by storm in 2019. It's what the Bengals sought when they drafted him with the first-overall pick in the NFL Draft just a few months later. And Morris knew exactly what to do after her own championship performance.
Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
