I hate these games. Nothing to gain but a lot to lose.

Add a team like Nebraska or Oregon St or a damn Maryland instead of this cupcake

FWIW, Central Michigan would probably beat Oregon State right now.

Aleva must really hate LSU fans to schedule a shitbag like this for a home game. This makes ZERO sense on every level.

We can't keep the money in LA? Or for that matter, the South?

waiting4saturday•80 months

frick that. Pay ULL, LaTech, etc... the 1.45 mill to come to TS to play. These games fricking suck.

tigerburningbright75•80 months

I don't want to play teams like that. Gives them a "cause game" at our expense.

OchoDedos•80 months

Why arent we trying to schedule UMICH or MSU? CMU is a worthless waste of time.

Wow, another high school team for LSU to beat up on....shocker

Lexman1•80 months

Can't play Bama every week. We'd never finish the season with a healthy team. We play more ranked teams every year than most any other team in the nation, being in the SEC West. Plus, Florida every year. I do agree, however, that we should pay State schools for these tune up games and give them a chance to play in Tiger Stadium. Good all around!

Disgeaux Bob•80 months

Waste of everyone's time and money !!

If idiot LSU fans had a tiny inkling of reading comprehension they would have noticed in the first paragraph quoted above that LSU travels to play UCLA in the first game of the 2021 season. But yeah, let's also play Florida State, Oklahoma and Ohio State that year also. Idiots
