LSU should protest if

(a) We are saddled with Florida as a permanent eastern division opponent
AND/OR
(b) Have to move to a 9 game SEC schedule.
-Playing Alabama and Florida year in year out and/or 7 other SEC schools sucks.
-Florida has a money and recruiting advantage over us.
- Besides now that Texas A&M is in the SEC West, we have to play them every year. Give a good coach, the fertile south Texas recruiting base and membership of the premier conference/division in the land and they can be another Florida. Besides they have more money as well.

a. It's not about Fl or any other school, permanent x div games need to go for the sake of conference cohesion.
b. 9 games are needed and inevitable imo.

so basically you are scared.

For the first 10 years of division play, Auburn played both Florida and Thuga...
Florida is a good team, but UT and UGA are also quality teams. Who do you want Vandy?

Why? It's a great series and always a high profile game nationally. I think we benefit from playing them more than we suffer from it.

That's the only way to have 14 teams, keep inter-divisional rivalries and play all the teams in the conference with a reasonable frequency.

Playing Alabama and Florida every year is part of what makes LSU football so exciting.

Maybe, but we are 6-4 against them over the last 10 years, so we're certainly holding our own.

So? We have to play Arkansas and Auburn every year, too. Why would Texas A&M be any different?

Maybe they will be. That's life in the SEC.

They are a better funded university overall than LSU is, but in athletics, football in particular, LSU is competitive with every school in the country in funding, facilities, etc.
I don't get why any LSU fan is afraid of playing Florida, Alabama and the rest of our SEC opponents when we have been doing it for over 40 years and it hasn't stopped us from becoming the superpower we currently are.

Easy there mike. They have a much better chance of being another Ole Miss. One cotton bowl every 10 years. I agree that a 9 game SEC schedule would suck, which is a reason I have been against expansion since the beginning.

You know who also has to play Bama and UF every year?
Tennessee, and they whine about it only a fraction as much.

Shut up. I want to play UF every year. We've won two NC's doing this. It won't stop us from more than that.

i'm sorry man, but you have a bad attitude. the lsu/florida game is one of the best games in the nation most every year. i, for one, will be very disappointed if permanent cross divisional games are kept and they take florida away from us. one should not be afraid of worthy competition. winners must beat the best to be the best. look at it this way, friggin' florida should be afraid to play lsu, those pussies. you don't want to be a pussy do you?

I like us playing UF every year.
Florida is fertile recruiting ground and has helped LSU make inroads there.
It's a fun matchup and I hope it continues.

I would rather have us play a 9 game SEC schedule over seeing several games a year against the WKUs, NWUs, Troys, ULLs, La Techs, etc. of the world. Also for keeping the Florida game, over the last decade it's been a great series.

Yeah, it's really hurt our program.
