Title says it all. I know it’s not that big a deal but it pisses me off to no end. And everyone is constantly doing this to us but we’ve never done the same.

Not irrational at all. It’s chickenshit and time for LSU to pull the same move

I get irrationally irritated at all the soy boys here who get their vaginas all sandy over what another team does.

Who cares if FSU played a week zero game?

Stop crying

Second straight year our competition has felt the need to get a jump on what was supposed to be a big week one matchup. The only good thing is they will have some tape out there.

LSU should have used Southern as a zero game or New Mexico

It's actually a big deal and no idea why it's allowed. NCAA should have stopped that long ago and created a uniform start date.

I don’t blame them. We could have done the same thing had we wanted to.

I don't understand why they get to do that. I've heard of the Hawaii rule, that's how BYU and UCLA got to play week 0 games. But how does FSU get to play Duquesne in week 0?

I have a strong feeling that it won’t matter this year. When players report on Wednesday and get out on the ponderosa come Thursday you’ll see. Flint has transformed the entire roster and you won’t see anything like the bullshite we saw in the UCLA game.

The tape means nothing. The advantage is the logistics of playing a game. The only downside Is the possibility of losing players to injury.

Now that we have a real coach and a real staff it will be interesting to see how much this plays a factor. Last season UCLA was undoubtedly more ready to play than we were. Was it because they had already gotten a game under their belt? Or was our staff just so unprepared? Or a bit of both?

FSU will man handle their lines easily. FSU will feel good about their oline.

Then they will meet ours!

Kelly just played FSU in season opener last year. He will be ready.

without an actual preseason, everyone should start on the same damn weekend. Week zero should not exist.

Y’all worry about the strangest things.

If Coach was worried about it he would make the changes necessary.

LSU is not the center of the college football universe and it serves no purpose to worry about things beyond your control.

There is a huge advantage gained by doing this and quite frankly, I don't know why we don't simply write a clause in to our contract.

Fla State’s first game is against a lowly opponent who doesn’t have LSU’s speed. It may work against them.

We should have done the same and gone out and scheduled pearl river community college to iron out the kinks

Why would we have a problem with it? We will have game film of them and they will have none of us. Sounds like a win/win for us...

No worries. FSU doesn't have the juice this year to beat LSU.
A few bounces go FSU's way, and it could be close.
Regular game, LSU wins comfortably.
Few bounces go LSU's way, and it could get really ugly.

FSU needs to tune up to keep it close.
