The proposed Home & Home games in 2019/20 have added UT vs LSU in Austin followed by Baton Rouge in 2020. Should be an exciting series for the LA & TX fans in both states.

Yeah, if it actually ends up being a home and home. Lots of time between now and then.

Yep could easily see those becoming neutral site games but unless the money just becomes too good, I'm keeping LSU out of Houston or Dallas again if I'm UTx. They probably would like the idea of playing in NO, but not at the expense of more LSU exposure in one of their major markets.

I just don't get this anymore. Don't recruits have access to cable TV? Can the average recruit afford tickets to one of thee neutral site games?

I think it has more to do with proximity to home than actually playing in Houston as far as Texas recruits are concerned.

It is a recruiting tool to say "we will play in Texas x amount of times while you are here at LSU". Can't imagine it bothers UT as much as aTm though.
Will say that I have enjoyed the Dallas and Houston games the past 4-5 years.
