Absolutely. Why let that money leave the state? It makes no sense to me how some in state school couldnt have been scheduled.

Personally, I loved the game against McNeese. I'm from Lake Charles and got to hang with a good bit of people who normally wouldn't go to an LSU game.
We have a game against UL next year though.

because they were on the schedule and LSU wasn't on strike like Grambling.

I have no idea why we scheduled a FCS school from South Carolina. I'm assuming the reason is because we could find no one else available for that date. It should be avoided at all costs.

ULM is not in state

This is such a bogus issue. LSU has played in state school 15 fricking times in the last 12 seasons.
I think that's plenty sharing the wealth.
The Cowboys are a nice crowd to have in the stadium, but some of the other fan bases act like they have to hold their nose as they accept the check.

playing furman drew more folks than playing the scout squad

We should schedule Grambling. Bus them in and get a discount.

playing FCS schools is for pussies like Fla St and Michigan. LSU should never be doing that.

Three reasons, first, when it comes down to it, a late year game against a low FBS or FCS opponent isn't super easy to schedule because, again it is a break during which most teams are playing their conference schedules and aren't willing to risk getting killcrushed, even Louisiana schools.
Second, LSU does not exists to subsidize the other football programs in this state. We did Tulane a favor a few years back making sure Katrina didn't UNO their football team. The fans HATED it. Consequently, LSU withdrew from the contract. The fans won't like playing Daddy Warbucks for any other state school either.
Third, LSU's largest advantage in football is that there is no in state peer institution that threatens to take players LSU wants. It is not in LSU's interest to strengthen financially entities that could make it more difficult for LSU to sustain its advantage.
