Baseball team also had to play one extra west away game this year, and we have to go back to A & M next year...

Haven't you heard, it is an SEC scheduling conspiracy. LSU only plays the "hard games" and BAMA only plays the "easy games". And somehow if we had taken care of our business in the last two games when WE were BAMA's opponent, we would definitely have one BCS Title and quite probably a second straight BCS Title. Funny how that works.

we played them last 08-09 so i think if conf had stayed the same they would be back on the docket anyways

Prior to expansion and the bridge schedules we would have played:

2012: @UK, vs SC
2013: @SC, vs UGA
2014: @UGA, vs Vandy

Right, we would have played Georgia anyway. So why the talk of a conspiracy? Georgia was next on the docket, it just so happened when they made the bridge schedule.

Looking from our perspective when they had to decide which rotating game we would keep to go with Florida...we lost UK in 2012 and in 2013 we ended up with UGA on the road when they normally would have been at home.

Georgia and Alabama were due to play each during this time frame also, but those games are not happening.

It's not that lsu plays them it's that UGA and Bama got out of playing each other.

Exactly. And LSU played Georgia more recently in the regular season than Alabama has. So you can't rationalize to me why LSU should have to play them again before Bama.
