quote] "LSU normally only schedules 3 creampuffs" [quote] REALLY ???????????????????????????????????????
Hey, not trying to start another fight, but that was a true statement. I saw it with my own eyes. I went on ESPN, schedules, but they only back to 2002. And I found (and you all can check) not once in all those years(so around 10) did LSU schedule more then 1 decent game except last year and this year with 2 each. So yes, that quote is very correct. Normal means, on average. And the average would look something like this over that 10 year span: LSU scheduled 1.2 out of 4 decent football games per year going back 10 years that I saw, ON AVERAGE. Again, it is only last year and this UPCOMING year where this norm has been broken. Look for yourself if you doubt me. And no, I don't want to get back into fighting about scheduling. Actually I said as much way early on, as it is too much work proving it right.
And by the way, I do not know if all those excuses are true about the reasons personally, but those do sound like fair excuses on the surface. And see, that's all UO fans want. Education, both ways. We just do not like denials of known facts. And out West there are no laws or rules that force any teams to play in their states. That seems odd to me with you, but I can see it being true. But it must not be for every game perhaps cause LSU was able to schedule 2 hard ones last year and 2 for this coming year, so why cant they do this every year and not just the last 2? And also, if UO wins, esp if UO wins really big, do you think LSU will quickly reverse this very new trend of playing hard OC's like Tenn and Georgia did? (Tenn canceled their home/home with UNC saying they wanted a easier OOC schedule system and UGA backed out from future home/home with us after we kicked Tenn's arse.

I guess it was the way it was quoted
"LSU normally only schedules 3 creampuffs."
The "only" got me. He phrased it as if ALLLLL of our OOC games are creampufs
That of course is not true.
Va.Tech in '02, Arizona in '03, Oregon State in '04, Arizona State in '05, Arizona and Fresno State in '06, Va.Tech in '07, Washington in '09, North Carolina and West Va. in '10, Oregon and West Va. in '11, Washington and TBA in '12.

I think a better way to look at it is to see how many of our games are against bowl teams.
2003= LSU 6 | UO 6 <- LSU wins NC
2004= LSU 7 | UO 5
2005= LSU 6 | UO 6
2006= LSU 7 | UO 6
2007= LSU 9 | UO 8 <- LSU wins NC
2008= LSU 8 | UO 6
2009= LSU 7 | UO 8
2010= LSU 8 | UO 4
7yr Average: LSU plays 7 bowl teams whereas UO plays 6. That means even though UO may play less "cupcakes" by the terms defined in this topic they play one less bowl opponent per year.
In this same 7 year period LSU has faced 4 teams that would win the National Championship whereas UO faced 1.
