LSU should be ashamed! I have heard more people say they are giving up their tickets after this year. When you can't recoup your money by selling your tickets and it is cheaper to buy from scalpers than invest in season ticket, it is very understandable!

Syracuse is in the ACC.

Also played BYU.


These are pretty good out of conference games.

Absolutely. But unfortunately only one of those games were played in Tiger Stadium.

It would help if LSU played better against that shitty out of conference home schedule you speak of.

We're not the only school with lame OOC home games. Decent programs are tough to schedule without the promise of a home-and-home, which we won't necessarily want to accommodate. Schools also push back or back out of scheduled games, so ADs have to scramble to find an available opponent.

I understand if fans are frustrated with that, but it is what it is. Frankly, I think we've scheduled better than most over the years.

May be true but, oh my goodness, look at the away games - murderous!

Whew! So glad you figured this out because it does explain like the last 5 to 10 years of people leaving at halftime. You should get a medal

Yeah, the away schedule looks pretty sharp. He was complaining about the home one.

So we should schedule 8 SEC games next year and then schedule Michigan, Ohio State, Florida State and Oklahoma

Next year our out of conference SEC teams will be Florida and Georgia

We should be ashamed that this is not our schedule every year.

You sir are soooo correct

Worst home schedule ever. I started to say that they should get a partial pass this year because of the Florida game situation, but we should never have agreed to play that game on the road two years in a row.

bull shite. we've always had a weak non conference schedule except one good one a year. i'm going back to the 60's.

it appears that LSU fans just are not embracing going to the games any more and staying for just part of the game when they do. fans have always left a little early but now it happens at the half.

well.....


...considering that the SEC East sucks this year, sans Bama, the OOC schedule does not look too bad.
