Please tell me how LSU playing in the Texas bowl against a 6-6 team gains them any exposure they are missing out on? Its just another reason for you to cry about something.

I didn't neccesarily agree with this theory, until I visited family in Dallas and talked with a younger nephew.
He told me A LOT of kids at his school are LSU fans. My theory is, from us playing over there so much, kids get to go to these games and watch lsu win, and some then grow up lsu fans.

I am from Texas, have family members who coach high school football, and I worked as a broadcaster in sports radio in the state for 7 years. I covered recruiting extensively and can tell you that, in Texas, it is a cut-throat business. Too many coaches from across the nation infiltrate it. Charlie Strong is making waves in the state right now and kids are buzzing about the future of the horns. Anything LSU can do to keep a competitive advantage over any Texas school is a plus.
I understand you may disagree about this, and that is your right. I will never intentionally belittle someone else's opinion. But, surely, we can agree that we both want what is better for LSU at the end of the day. The key to success at LSU is keeping LA talent in state, attracting some national prospects, and edging out as much of the competition in Texas as possible. Texas is a goldmine for talent. We win the recruiting battle there, we compete for championships.

Conference expansion has opened up the state to the SEC like never before, and Texas is likely to be recruiting against Alabama, LSU and Florida more than ever. If 2013 has shown us anything, it’s that the state is vulnerable and Texas no longer has a clear stranglehold on things. The only thing that will change that is winning. While there figures to be many more battles to come in 2014, the Longhorns can win their share if they’re back in the mix for the Big 12 title and the national crown while reversing the unsavory trend against Oklahoma. If the upcoming season doesn’t show drastic improvement, then the Longhorns can count on recruiting to involve less cherry-picking and more fistfights.

The only thing that hurts with this game is that its not primetime slot

This. Even using that logic, we play in Texas about once a year already. Wouldn't you want exposure elsewhere?
