Funny. I thought home and homes with big power teams were impossible to secure based upon what TPTB have been telling us.

I would imagine there are significant financial incentives that the admins have decided are more important than a home and home.

I have no issue with it.

Lol.

Interesting that UW is considered a "power" when someone else has a home and home with them, but when we do, they're just some shitty Pac-12 cupcake. Funny how that works.

You're not even an LSU fan. All you do is flame this board. Go away. No one likes you.

Ahhh the old "LSU owes something to Baton Rouge" argument. The hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue that LSU football brings to Baton Rouge annually is inadequate and apparently our Athletic Department is a charity.

This thread is about to go full retard, I'll see myself out.

Actually, it is the old LSU owes its season ticket holders and local businesses something argument.

Yeah, I couldn't care less about the BR economy. If there's an indirect positive effect, great, but LSU shouldn't even take that into consideration.

So it's okay for them to care more about money than their fans?

I'm in the minority, but I like neutral site games...more of a bowl/championship atmosphere than an on-campus game.

Don't get me wrong... I love TigerStadium, but I prefer a more even crowd in a nicer domed NFL stadium over a home/home. Of course No conference LSU game should ever be played outside of TS, but I'm totally 100% fine with one marquee OOC neutral site game every year.

I'm also not saying I would be mad if we scheduled a home/home with Michigan/USC/FloridaSt/etc..to the contrary i'd be the first one booking a flight as those are cool too), but IMO the neutral site games get too much hate from some....They're cool and I enjoy them.

Nothing actually. Just another excuse for the whiney contingent here to post nonsense.
