I am really beginning to think some of my fellow LSU fans are bipolar.

If I recall, this is the same fanbase that complained about LSU scheduling to many boring cupcake games earlier this year so lots of you made your way to the exits after halftime. So I ask you, what do you as a fanbase want? More exciting SEC games that are fun to watch to the end or boring cupcake games?
As far as complaining about the Bama bias, while some of that may be true and I do realize that Bama has been only called for a holding penalty once since 1977,but PLEASE STOP COMPLAINING, enjoy the games and go out and support LSU

I am HAPPY with our tough schedule.. I am only upset that Bama has an easy schedule in comparison.

Fans will bitch, not show up, and leave early. But it's clear that the easiest path to a title is playing one or two big names and a bunch of nobodies.

To all those who start threads replying to all those who say something they disagree with.....why not just argue your point directly to the person that you disagree with insetad of starting a new thread every time you disagree with someone?

Why phrase it like that, unless you don't want an honest answer? That's actually two separate issues.

Our OOC schedule is one topic for conversation...our conference schedule another. OOC is simply a harder thing to accomplish...tons of teams, moving conference affiliations, home & home series requirements, etc. As much as we may enjoy seeing marquee type home & home series every season, those are just tough to come by. Even so, it would be nice to bring in some mid-major as opposed to bottom dwellers...though we did both this year in hosting UW and Towson. But this is really a separate issue...

As for our conference schedule, there is nothing inherently weak about expecting our closest conference rival to have to play a similarly difficult schedule as we do. To allow them to consistently get the easier ride because we fear being called chicken if we don't run the toughest gauntlet is just foolish. It may be true that BAMA had a significantly easier SEC slate than LSU did this year...but until they or the media give a crap they may very likely be hoisting their 3rd flag in 4 season, while we tout our strength of schedule title.

Play all the tough games you want but don't expect to play in any kind of title game if your direct competitor doesn't play the same schedule. BTW, fans want better OOC opponents, SEC schedule should be fair.

it puts us at a competitive disadvantage for Alabama to get UT and UK while LSU gets UGA and UF. In an ideal world, we would play a touch team every week like the NFL, but that isn't the way college football works.

I just want to hear a reasonable explanation for Bama getting UK while LSU gets UGA.

you think it was a coincidence that UGA and Bama made the SECCG with the easiest schedules? Florida has a bigger reason to be upset than we do this year, but I can't understand why the SEC gave us UGA next year

Breaking news... Many LSU fans are whiners. It;s probably the same losers who leave LSU games at half or 3rd quarter
