President Barack Obama is in Cuba this week, working to strengthen the burgeoning ties between the two nations.
And today we learned LSU head coach Les Miles is there too, putting the nations’ new friendship to the test.
Former LSU pitcher Mikie Mahtook let the cat out of the bag first, revealing Miles would be in attendance for the Tampa Bay Rays’ game against the Cuban National Team.
Beyond excited for today! Can't believe @LSUCoachMiles is going to be here to take it all in. #RaysInCuba #LSU

LSU’s official football account confirmed the news.
The secret is out. @LSUcoachMiles is in Cuba this week. Could he be down there auditioning to become the World's Most Interesting Man?

Actually, @LSUCoachMiles is in Cuba to visit schools & experience the culture. He brought dozens of soccer balls to distribute to kids. #LSU

We expect nothing less than a drunken photo of Miles with Fidel Castro himself by the end of the week.
