LSU considering Big 12?

Now I've read everything on LSU that pisses me off from ESPN!
Got this off ESPN Buzz.
LINK
"LSU is considered one of the nation's powerhouse programs in college football's toughest league. But the SEC may no longer be a strong fit for the Tigers. Scott Rabalais of the Baton Rouge Advocate advocated LSU should look at potentially becoming a member of the Big 12 Conference.
Rabalais stated five reasons why LSU should consider the move. Unfair scheduling, unbalanced permanent opponents, timing, lack of geographical partnerships in today's conferences and the chance to rule a league which doesn't include Alabama were cited as reasons why the Tigers should make a move.
Is it the possibility of LSU realigning with another conference plausible? Unlikely. But it's something the school should consider.
"...after years of mounting frustration in the SEC, perhaps a fresh start would be best for LSU under the right circumstances," Rabalais wrote.
It did wonders for Texas A&M during the Aggies first year in the SEC. The same could eventually be said about LSU."

Its not a serious piece. It just alludes to the obvious Bama bias, schedule,refs, and headquarters of SEC, all favor Bama.....Nothing new!

Article in The Advocate last week. Also include five reasons why LSU should stay in SEC. I am just glad to see some discussion of it by others so maybe, just maybe, Slive's cage would get rattled...
We read so much here about LSU fans that think Miles should be replaced. We should focus that disenchantment on Mike Slive and lead the effort to replace him.

It's the dumbest thing I've ever read on ESPN concerning LSU.
The SEC is the reason we won the BCSNCG with two loses a few years back. Our schedule is tougher than Bama; so what?!

Are you aware that it's not ESPN saying that LSU is looking to leave?
Are you aware that it's not ANYONE saying that LSU is looking to leave?

I would bet my house this article comes directly from rabalais reading the idiots on this retard board.

LSU will never leave the SEC. Besides, LSU will destroy the Gumps next year anyways.

This is exactly what needs to be done. Scott Rabalais is helping the LSU cause. National media may soon be discussing this. It may finally bring some pressure onto the SEC office as to how a Bama grad can give Alabama a schedule with Tennessee and Kentucky and then give LSU a schedule with Florida and Georgia.
Somebody has to beat the drum about how two teams competing for a spot as the division champion should not have a conference schedule in which one team plays 4 top ten teams while another in the same division only plays 2 top ten teams. There is absolutely zero fairness in that schedule, and low and behold, the Bama grad in the SEC scheduling office gave Alabama the yellow brick road to Atlanta...for the second year in a row.

It sure beats playing 2 teams from the great state of Mississippi every year.
