(for that matter, have we ever played at UNLV?

Can you imagine how wild of a week/weekend it would be if LSU ever played there? ND's game in Ireland got me thinking about how I wish LSU would schedule more games like the UW/Seattle game...preferably the first game of the season so that fans have all offseason to pay for the trip and get psyched for it.

LSU@UNVL tops my list, but here are Some others I'd love to see LSU open the season against at some point in the future:

LSU @ Hawaii
LSU @ Boston College
LSU @ Rutgers
LSU @ Northwestern
LSU @ UCLA


ETA: I should have made myself more clear. I thought it went without saying that, of course, All of us would love to have a home-and-home "elite" matchup (Michigan, Texas, USC, FSU, OhioSt, etc)...but those "elite" OOC matchups are rare, for obvious reasons. We will only see LSU schedule an elite OOC about once every 3-5 years or so.

The list I compiled above are the more recurring mid-level OOC opponents (that also happen to be cool cities/destinations). Typically, we're going to play a mid-level OOC team once per season (someone on the level of Arizona, Louisville, Washington, NorthCarolina, Maryland, TexasTech, OregonSt, etc). The point being we are going to see many more of these "mid-level" games than we are the "elite" games.

Make no mistake...I certainly would not rather see LSU at Rutgers than LSU at Michigan....But I think there's a lot more possibilities and it's a lot more realistic to look at the "mid-level" possible OOC games since there are a lot more of those games that will be on future LSU schedules than elite matchups.

I'm sure LSU playing in a 38,000 seat stadium is a dream for most fans.

Thought this was a basketball thread at first.

Someone would die. It's too dangerous to simultaneously unleash that many LSU fans on a twenty-four hour a day gambling, drinking, and orgy mecca.

I've actually imagined what our fans would do if we ever played at BYU. I think that scenario is even more unpredictable.

I went to a game there a few years ago and they had a full bar at the game. Imagine how quick the bourbon would disappear.

WTF? Hawaii is the only one that makes sense. If you want to go to a big city, then go. Stupid to have to have an LSU game AT Rutgers to do so. Want to go to Vegas? Go. Don't need LSU playing at their piece of shite 30,000 seat stadium for that.

3.2% is the limit, I believe. Cal or Stanford would be cool. USC or UCLA would be cool. Rutgers would not, unless it was played at Yankee Stadium. That, I'd be into.

I would do a 2 and 1 with UNLV with no payment to UNLV from LSU.

There just isn't enough money in it for LSU. I'd love to have a good excuse to go to back home for this but it would be hard to cheer against for or against a team. I grew up a huge UNLV fan and went to every home game and post season game during the 90 championship season. One of the best years of my life.

I'd kill to do a home and home with UCLA.

Easy, high profile wins and a dream trip to the Rose Bowl for Tiger fans (and to Tiger Stadium for Bruins fans).

I don't think you could compile a shittier list of away games if you tried. If you want to go on vacation to these places, go. Not worth wasting a football game on.

How bout the big house, camp randal, the other death valley, doak walker, memorial, the coliseum?
