I just think Ohio State going to Texas and all the history that is there, and going to the Coliseum, then going to Norman, and Blackburg. It's just so much for for the fans, and is something the players will look back on(if they win ) and really love to remember.
it is dependent on the program to me
I would like to go see LSU play at USC, tOSU, Michigan, Texas, OU... stadiums of interest (great venues)
For most of the OOC possibilities I might prefer a neutral site... because many of them are kinda shitty places to travel
Traveling to WVU this year is going to be like raw dogging a working girl... even if you roger the shite out of her you probably walk away with a STD

I really don't get why you don't like neutral site games
I like neutral site games. They are called Bowl Games.
As for regular season neutral site games.. I don't like them because I prefer the home/away. They generate just as much media coverage. I find myself to be a lot more interested to see two of the top teams in the country, go into each others houses in consecutive years and see them battle it out.

I've been to Morgantown several times for games, and visiting friends. It is one of the best times of my life.
Just sayin.

for this situation? I agree
don't see much of that tho... we see maybe one premiere ooc matchup in all of the regular season most years
OSU/Texas and OSU/USC were good attempts at this IMO.

Let me get this straight, people in this thread are bashing LSU's schedule when they play Oregon, Florida, Alabama, Auburn, Miss State, Arkansas, West Virgina and Tennessee.
Clemson and Miami probably wouldn't be worth mentioning if they were on this schedule.

That said though... I think I would actually like the idea of a neutral site regular season game if the two schools were close... example... LSU/Texas.
No flame on LSU but I mean this years game with Oregon.. Oregon has to travel over 2000 miles. LSU has to travel less than 500. And yes, Oregon did agree to it, not like they were forced to or anything. That's not what I'm trying to say.
I'm just saying that if the "neutral site" is that close to one school, and that far away from another, why not just have a home and away?
A game like LSU/Oregon is going to be is going to generate a shite ton of media interest no matter where the game is played.

I forgot. The SEC is the only conference with any sort of competition involved. They(for the most part) are allowed to schedule cupcakes OOC, while everyone else should schedule the top dogs.
and I was talking about the past. If you actually read the other posts too instead of just picking through them, I actually gave LSU a shite ton of credit for scheduling schools like TCU, OU, Oregon, West Virginia, UNC, etc.

LSU played a home and home with OSU back in the 80's

They generate just as much media coverage.
Last year, LSU played 7 home games and 1 neutral site game = 8 revenue producing games.
This year, LSU will play 6 home games and 1 neutral site game = 7 revenue producing games, but that is because they're playing at WVU.
7 revenue producing games is the key number. If not for the neutral site Oregon game, LSU would be playing a home game against someone....most likely a rent-a-win.

I get your point.

two reasons:
1) may generate more money for the two programs per game played than doing a home/away
2) both programs want to recruit Texas
If the neutral site were in Florida and we were playing Ga Tech I'd still find that interesting (and worth doing to recruit in Florida)
FWIW Dallas at least is a major city that has flights all over the place... it might be a faster trip for them than taking a long bus trip to areas that are physically closer

LSU will earn $3.25 million to $3.5 million for the game, which eclipses the net the university hauls in for a home game against a non-BCS level program. Ausberry estimated that revenue is about $2.2 million.

No doubt. It's going to be great exposure for them. I guess just personally, I don't care for all the revenue involved. But that's just me. College Football is a pretty big business, and will generate a lot of money... as it should.
And that's why I'm not a business man

If you fail to see the difference in the need to schedule tough OOC opponents to garner respect between and ACC and SEC team you are a fool. Like I said no need to schedule powerhouses when you play the schedule LSU does as opposed to FSU. Beating on the likes of Clemson, Miami, and Maryland is cute, but you guys have to schedule the OU's of the world to be on par with the SEC.
Yes, sorry if this is the typical SEC chest boasting, but it is what it is (5 straight NC's).

I really enjoy getting to experience the gameday atmosphere at other schools outside the SEC.
