It's time to play a big game at a neutral site...

I'd say an LSU-Texas matchup in Jerry's new stadium in 2009 would be freaking sweet. Could you imagine the hype, and it could only help with our current raid of Texas.

Teams like Notre Dame and Alabama go neutral so that they can develop more of a "national presence" that they once had. They are trying to regain what they've lost (and it won't work imho). LSU doesn't need what those two teams crave. It needs only to seal off Louisiana's borders and build bigger trophy cases.
Why play in Jerry's Stadium when the greatest stadium on earth is on the LSU campus?

Why is this thought to be true?
Dallas 5-star recruit, "Wow, there is a team called the LSU Tigers, I know this because they are playing a neutral game today in Dallas. It's crazy I have never seen them play before, since they have been in multiple BSC games, and they have PLAYED IN TWO BCS CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES."

From like 1912 to 1936, LSU and Arkansas always played in Shreveport, I guess during the State Fair. If a) Independence Stadium had at least 70K, and b) we still played Tulane to end every season, I wouldn't mind that happening.
I predict, however, that a committee representing either Jerryland or the Cotton Bowl will begin a year-by-year neutral college football season, giving the Dallas-Fort Worth area a "football season" even if they don't have a major team for whom to root.
Texas vs. Oklahoma (already in Dallas)
Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma State (in Dallas soon)
Texas A&M vs. Arkansas (in Dallas soon)
Texas Christian vs. (BCS-caliber opponent)
Southern Methodist vs. (BCS-caliber opponent)
North Texas vs. (BCS-caliber opponent)
Rice/Baylor/Houston/UTEP vs. (BCS-caliber opponent)
I don't know the specifics of how to pull something like this off, but I've been suspecting that Dallas would try something like this someday. Notre Dame would go for it. The service academies (though not very competitive) would go for it. Alabama seems open to this sort of idea.
Thoughts?

Or we could just play a home and home, and enjoy the campus experience, sort of the way college football is supposed to be.
Never mind, tradition is overrated anyway.

This location would not be a neutral site for LSU.

We play 8, sometimes 9 games in the freaking SEC against the best teams in college football already! Why play these other teams? These other teams (USC, OSU, etc.) have to play each other to have a half way decent shedule. LSU plays 4-5 top 15 teams every year. God,, look at UGA's schedule this year. Do you really think they would have scheduled ASU if they knew their schedule wwould be this brutal? So what if we play Tulane, Troy, with a tough OOC every couple of years. Stop crying and enjoy the seasons we have right now cause it wasn't too long ago when LSU football sucked.
