Better off with just taking an extra bye week.


Or can the teams agree just to play a 1/2?


This is embarrassing as hell for McNeese.

Why their players would want to suit up against a team like LSU is beyond me.

$$$

Hopefully this is a thing of the past once we move to 24 teams playoffs and no conference CGs

Why even play football at all?

Let’s just punch stats into a computer and get it to decide every game

Yeah...why would a college kid that's not good enough to play for LSU (especially the kids from LA) want a chance to play LSU in Tiger Stadium?

Work through the kinks and work on a few wrinkles in your offensive gameplan.

Get game reps for your starters and younger guys who rarely play.

Building deeper depth to see who you might need later down the line.

Keeping guys engaged and ready to play.

Just to name a few...

This is what it's like to be Notre Dame or Ohio State. Except they play this type of opponent 10 out of 12 weeks.

They get a pretty big check.

Home team gets their backups live reps.

Rarely does the upset does happen but it has happened before.

And FCS teams are often playing the P4 team in their state which a lot of their players probably grew up wanting to play in that stadium and they get a chance to do it. Seen plenty of these FCS guys in warm ups taking in the moment and taking pictures in Tiger Stadium as it's probably the only time they'll perform here.
