Why does LSU always give in and we play away first on these home and home games? It would have been nice to have this game in Tiger Stadium being that the rest of the home schedule is not that exciting. At least it’s not a neutral site game.

It's a home and home; they will be in Tiger Stadium next season.

SMU comes here first in 2028
Arizona St comes here first in 2029
We go to Utah first in 2031

SMU shouldn’t even be in this conversation.

You can thank Verge for the scheduling.

Just the fact that we're playing a game at SMU is embarrassing. In Dallas, we're playing at SMU, not Jerry World. Hell, even TCU would be better.

Only if it’s election time and the libs needs to stuff ballet boxes in the middle of the night using Covid as an excuse.

I don’t mind playing an opponent like Clemson on the road. I just wish we could play a tune up game before. Like if you’re going to schedule Louisiana Tech play them week 1 then the tough game.

If you win away you can come back home and go for the sweep

You would rather we play at Clemson than at a neutral site?

Yes absolutely. College games should be played on campus

Absolute no brainer. Get at least one easier game under your belt. So many things can go wrong playing a top opponent on the road w/ a bunch of new guys.

This team should be on fire right out of the gate but I do want to start doing a 'Week 0' Tune Up Game from now on

I would imagine that it will happen in 2026...could not happen in 2024 and 2025 because of the way they reversed the schedule for those years...

Verge.

He’s a terrible negotiator. We are the bigger brand and should have demanded the first game was in Baton Rouge
