LSU should play Boise St. in 2011

Was reading about their plight to find quality non-conference foes. They are willing to play anyone from a BCS League without requiring a game back in Boise.
We share the same open date in our schedule right now - September 3, 2011.
Come on, Verge! Make it happen!!

Have you seen our existing schedule?

no. 2011 sets up well for a championship run.

LSU should play them and finally shut them up; however, I sense too much fear from the fan base. That's right, . . . fear.

It will never happen. The people who make our schedule would never get the balls to schedule a top mid-major along with a good BCS conf. team in the same year. It's always a lose/lose situation playing mids like Boise, BYU, Utah, etc

I would rather this game on this date up in Boise. The road trip to Washington was awesome. That time of the year in Boise...stream fishing, leaves changing color...get to see the blue field. Gonna call Verge right now...hold on, I'll let you know what he said.

2011 schedule:
sept 3 - TBD
sept 10 - northwestern state
sept 17 - @ miss state
sept 24 - @ west va
oct 1 - kentucky
oct 8 - florida
oct 15 - @ tenn
oct 22 - auburn
oct 29 - open
nov 5 - @ bama
nov 12 - southern miss
nov 19 - @ ole miss
nov 26 - arkansas
I notice several things:
LSU plays 8 straight weeks to start the season... in that run they have two early road games (to miss state and west virginia)... later they have 3 straight tough games with florida at home, tenn on the road and auburn at home
You can argue this schedule is tough enough and I agree... but provided this is a home game and ESPN is going to really make it financially worth LSU's while to take a risk I see a return on taking that risk
LSU will have to grow up in a hurry that year with the early road trips and tough three game set in the middle of the season... given the week after the potential boise matchup is essentially a gimme week to make corrections I think might actually make sense for LSU to take the risk and play their first tough game at home instead of on the road

Boise State is looking for home-and-home games, which would mean a team traveling to the blue turf, a place the Broncos are 59-2 this decade. The Broncos would also be open to a guarantee game, but the school is asking for $900,000 to $1 million to play.
lsu playing in boise is a terrible idea. what's the point? second, why pay $1m to play a team capable of hanging with anybody on a one game basis? the sec is tough enough as it is. the deal they're trying to get is horrible for lsu

I respect Boise State and wish them well but we have nothing to gain by playing them. The SEC is challenging enough.
I rather have 4 easy non conference games. It sets up better in every way.

We'll kick the frick out of Boise State. Dont judge Boise by the Oklahoma bowl game. Oklahoma sucks in bowl games.
