Just curious, did LSU pick the 2PM start time or does the NCAA?

They said on the radio LSU chose that time. Then tried to change it yesterday. They refused. Lsu was pretty stupid submitting the 2pm time

I guess they were counting on an easy 4 with a longer time between games. It just seems you would want to play when it is a little cooler than in the middle of the high temperature.

$$$$$$$

LSU knows that they'll get 8,500 to show up for the early game if LSU is playing. Then they can still get another 3,500 or so for the late game. If the "other" game was played at 2:00, you might have about 1,500 in the stands.

Has nothing to do with it.

LSU has played the early game all but one time dating back to when Skip was here.
