A smoke-filled LSU locker room got a surprise warning early Tuesday morning.

A police officer threw water on the party when telling the national champions they could not smoke the cigars that burned for easily 15 minutes after beating Clemson.

In fact, the officer announced to the players any smoking cigars in the locker room would be subject to arrest. Several players holding stogies laughed at the warning like it was a joke but the cop wasn’t smiling.

Another officer tried to tell them it was OK to celebrate with a smoke in the locker room but he insisted his commander told him it was a no-go.

Nobody was arrested.

The party, however, continued.

LSU beat Clemson 42-25 on Monday night in the Superdome just down the road from the Baton Rouge campus. It capped a perfect 15-0 season but that didn’t get any leniency from the police officer entering the locker room just after midnight.

The haze from the locker room spilled into the hallway before reporters were allowed inside for interviews. Heisman winner Joe Burrow walked out puffing his cigar on the way to his postgame press conference after completing one of the more remarkable seasons for any college quarterback.
