re: VT Game in 2007

Its a catch 22 situation. LSU gets invited into these high profile off campus games because....LSU is a national power & the interest in pitting two storied programs together in a big time venue is what gets ratings. I don't like it because I'd rather not have to drive to Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, etc to watch the game but the alternative, not being a national power & not getting invited to be a part of these games, sucks. So its kinda like the whole night game vs day game argument, sure we'd love to have every game in TS start at 7 but if ESPN & the "machine" that drives CFB says 2:30, then so be it. It is the price you pay for success & national attention.
