Does anyone know why we are playing Towson next year?
At first, I thought that it was completely ridiculous that we would play a team that bad, and not keep the "cupcake money" in state. But then I heard that Oil Money bought the game because some president at Towson has connections?
Anyone have any info on the situation?

Just read this tweet from @MatthewMonte, on August 3rd, after the game was announced,
this seem true?

I see now. A Towson Dean is the Chair of the Marcellus Advisory Commission. Oil money bought that game.

Yeah there's gotta be something else at play here. I go to LSU but I'm from Maryland less than an hour from Towson a lot of my friends from hs go there. Everyone I've told about this game has responded with a big WTF? Why?
It's a mediocre commuter school filled with kids who couldn't get into UMD with an awful team and I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure they're not in the FBS.
What I'm saying is there has to be something behind the scenes going on for them to book this game. There's really no reason to help pay for this school to come all the way from the east coast for a tune up game. There's plenty of schools in this area that would gladly get towson for a tune up game and plenty of schools much closer to LSU that would be easier to get to come play a game.
I gurantee you besides some people who have Louisina connections there will be virtually NO turnout from any Towson fans, take whatever the lowest visitng turnout you've seen in tiger stadium and cut if in half
My only wish is that I wasn't graduating this may and I could be in town to see Towson get a major arse whippin. Epic Tiger Victory

Didn't Jermon Bushrod (Saints) play for Towson? I think that was the first time I heard of them. Is this the 2012 homecoming special?

If this OOC comes back to bite us in the arse (and the notion that there's no way it will, is shortsighted), somebody's head needs to roll.
It's pathetic.

The schedulers thought it was pronounce "Too-sahn" and thought they were scheduling the University of Arizona from Tucson.
Simple mistake
