I know they like to mix it up and go to new places, but them going to Gainesville this Saturday is totally predictable. I do think it is the most important game, but we have had games like this in years past (where we and our opponent were both in the top 10) and they pass and go to something like #12 Wisconsin at #18 Michigan State.

Do you think if we beat the Aggies, they come to BR for the Alabama game? If so, that will be totally predictable too. But I am not sure----it seems like just dislike coming here? The excuse of they come here all the time because we are good and they want to go to other places just does not make sense to me when they are going to Gainesville this Saturday----another venue they would seem to be at at least every other year?

I am not saying I like when Gameday comes. It seems traffic is worse and getting on campus is more of a bitch in the morning that they are here. I just want to know if they have something against coming to LSU/Baton Rouge that I do not know about?

Fowler and Herbie are on record saying that Gameday in BR is their favorite road trip

I would think BR has hosted gameday more than most schools. Anyone know the answer to this?

I would venture a guess that when the preseason rankings came out they knew where they were going on November 3rd. It would take both LSU and Bama to shite the bed multiple times prior to that for them to think of going elsewhere in the country that weekend

They try to spread it around. Don't know if they will be here for Bama because that is USC/UO week also and I assume that game will be on ABC. Since we will be on CBS that may make the decision for them.

Herbstreit was a guest speaker at the Nashville Sports Council College Fottball Kickoff luncheon this year. He stated then that BR at Death Valley is one of their all time favorite venues. Promise...they have that Bama game circled for a visit.

That would be the 96 Bama game. We threw golf balls at corso when he put on the Gump head.

They come at least once a year don't they? Win or lose Saturday they will be here for the Bama game without a doubt.

USC and Oregon play that same day on ABC, so I wouldn't call it totally predictable.

Gee, you think that has less to do with the equipment trucks that set up on Friday anyway and more to do with the fact that if Gameday is here, it's basically not only a big game, but the biggest game in the country that week and everyone comes out to tailgate/party.

I wonder if Erin Andrews dislikes not coming to BR next month?
