the LSU administration did little to nothing to try to get the Tigers into a better bowl game


What I don't get is why there are so many LSU fans that think this is a sub-par bowl? Is it the corporate brand name? Is it the fact that it's not a "New Years Day" bowl? Is it the match-up of Clemson? Is Atlanta that fricked up of a location?

The payout is big. It's Primetime and the only game on. It's 2 top 15 teams. I just don't get everyone getting their panties in a wad over this bowl? The CFA group was ecstatic over this. To me, it's the other Bowls who lost out on not selecting LSU. In addition, I don't want to be on New Years Day competing with a shiteload of other games for viewership.

That ignores the reality of the situation. CFA gets SEC 6. The conference just made accommodations for a moral victory Georgia with a weak schedule and a laughable coach and two teams that LSU beat. No SEC teams were beating the door down to get in the CFA. That is why Georgia had to be "protected" from falling there. Now they can get arse-pounded by a B1G team as is tradition.

Without any of the context you can blame LSU fans. With context, the SEC fricked us and LSU has to eat the cost of the conference going out of its way for all of its teams but LSU. Thems the breaks.

Agreed. I am looking forward to it. I see all the posts saying "no one is going to this game" but I know many people who are going and planning a fun weekend in Atlanta. I don't hate on people for going or not going...everyone is free to decide, but I think it's going to be a good game and I always enjoy Atlanta.
