re: strength of schedule complaints

I'm not a schedulaer either, but I bet that the only concern of the athletic depatment is to put butts in the seats at Tiger Stadium and charging premium fees while bringing in the likes of ULL, McNeese, Tulane, La Tech, Middle Tenn, and Appy State just doesn't seem like the thing to do.

i doubt very seriously this is their only concern. giving the team the best chance for meaningful postseason play greatly increases revenue and merchandising, both of which are huge to the ath dept just as home games are.

also, only a handful of school sell more season tickets than lsu. therefore, scheduling "lightweights" doesn't have any effect on those presold tickets.
