Surely a better way to spend the off season than what we had to finish on last year in that excuse of a game played in quicksand.


but at least in that venue we would get a shot at playing a top-10 team. I don't know why everyone is so happy about the cotton bowl. Would we really rather play a #18 Aggie team than a #8 MSU team? Am I missing something?
and btw-they replaced the grass with turf at the cap one venue (though, unfortunately, it's still in the hooooood)

Look, I'm going to be as honest as I can, even with myself.

This team, right now, with the present offensive staff and QB, along with the starting safeties( who are usually QB's on defense, i.e. Hunt and Steltz) will be better served to play aTm.

A win at a place you are going to open the next season against a team in the NC game, is better than the challenge of a better team elsewhere.

This LSU team is most probably going to play any opponent close, and I would rather come away with the win versus a lesser opponent than take my chances with our passing game and the recent play of our safeties against a stronger opponent.

I'm not scared, just practical. We're a 10-2 team with a chance at eleven wins, that played like an 8-4 team at best.
