First year following? LSU does this every year. LSU does this for 2 reasons. 1st, in case they lose the 1st game, they have more time in between games, 2nd, they make more money this way. They will pack the seats regardless of what time the LSU game is, people are more likely to go see the other game if its in primetime as opposed to 1pm on a Friday. More money for LSU
.


It's not my first time following, but it is the first time that I noticed that EVERY host team elected to play the later game, except LSU.

It's not about more time between games because every weekend during the season they play a 7:00 game on Fri and a 1:00-3:00 game on Sat. So that doesn't make sense. And although there will be a lot of people there, there would be even more people there if the game was at night.

I'm just pissed because I could have gone if it was the late game, but now I'll be stuck at my desk listening to it.

LSU would have trouble getting fans to 1pm games on fridays during the regular season, and i'm sure the opponents dont wanna have to miss more school for that.

And how can LSU get more people in there for the nightcap if it will already be sold out and full for the 1pm game? Your logic is flawed.

no one would go to a 1pm game between Baylor and Minn. People will go to the night game
