No big deal though.

We are proud of our school and team, and we'll bring a great respectful crowd that also enjoys the fact that football is back. There is a large contingent of our fanbase that are LSU fans. There are few that are in fact still wearing purple and gold and cheering for LSU. That's fine. Beating LSU doesn't do much for us in the long run. Sure, it'd be an awesome win for our program, and I never expect McNeese to go lay down against in anyone. But winning our conference and going to the playoffs is the number 1 goal, and the LSU game will have little effect on either.


Correct. I'm a MSU Alum...but I bleed P&G. MSU beating LSU hurts LSU more than MSU losing to LSU does...no way am I delusional enough to believe MSU has the manpower to hang 4 quarters with LSU. I pull for MSU in every game...except when they play LSU.

I'm a fan of LSU every other day of the year, except when they Play McNeese. Just can't do it. I graduated from the school, that is who I support when the two come together.

And I have the same mindset about this game as the guy said earlier: we have bigger fish to fry this season. I'd be happier with an SLC title and a National Championship than beating LSU.

We can beat LSU and go 1-11: what good does that do us?

Does anyone believe App St moved up because they beat Michigan? I sure don't. They dominated on the FCS level, and made the move up. Western Kentucky never beat anyone relevant, but they had a solid program at the FCS level, and moved up. Same thing with Georgia Southern.

North Dakota State has won 4 National Titles. They won 2 of those before beating Kansas State in 2013, which is easily the best FBS team they have defeated.

So anyone that tries to tell me that beating FBS schools is what elevates your program, please, review the history of FCS Champions and find where beating a Major FBS team has done anything for them.

McNeese is not all of a sudden going to start stealing 4 and 5 star talent by beating LSU. Beating LSU does not win us the Conference. Beating LSU does not get us into the Playoffs.

Would it be great? Sure. But at the end of the day, there are bigger fish to fry than LSU.
