If we win a tough OOC game, it can help us down the stretch when we lose a close game against a conference opponent.

If we lose the opener we don’t belong anywhere near the national championship game anyway.



It’s that simple. Man up and be a fan of big boy football.

Curious

What other P4 teams open up in a true road game against a legit P4 team?

How about making this the SECOND game of the season after a cupcake warmup?

This is such a soft mentality. How about LSU just leave the SEC and join the ACC or Big 12 in that case? Champions should beat the best competition not run from it

Regardless we wouldn’t have gotten in any of the past 5 years we lost openers. It doesn’t matter.
Win the damn games. Don’t have this pussy mentality that Bama fans now have.
These boys need a killer instinct so badly

Got to hand it to you. Very consistent. Chickenshit piece of crap, but you are consistent.

Clemson played Georgia, lost badly, and just won the ACC to make the playoffs. Hmmmmm.


Right. And IIRC, had we simply 1- beat Florida and 2- had Mizzou beat Arkansas we would have been in the SEC C and could have beaten Texas to get in the playoffs with three losses….

Point being, we shouldn’t be scared to play Clemson next year. We shouldn’t have been scared to play FSU in the past or USC this year.

Scheduling good OOC games didnt even hurt anyone? Why is it so laughable? Its laughable you think it matters.

Didn’t hear you complaining when we beat a top four Oregon team that had just been in the national championship by two scores.

Or, and hear me out, we could just go win the game and stop griping.


Funny, we’ve dropped the past FIVE openers.

Until BK proves he can get the team ready to play with longer than a week to prep, I’d just assume play a cupcake.

Plus we would not have made the playoffs anyway. They would have said we lost three conference games and played no one ooc.


100% That USC loss didn't cost us anything. If you take of business in conference play. The early season ooc loss doesn't matter.

However, Brian Kelly needs to prove that he can get his team up and ready to play against a high quality opponent with the whole spring and fall camps to prepare.

Wouldn’t Clemson have just as many reasons to cancel the game? The same argument works for both schools.

Stop getting upset at the guy for losing these hard openers when we know we realistically can’t fire him and we know he’s always awful in week 1, even going back to his Notre Dame days. Brian Kelly lays eggs in week 1. That’s just who we hired. Accept it. Get over it. We should therefore cancel the big games in week 1 as long as he’s coach.

You do realize the reason LSU did NOT make the 12 team Playoff is because we shite the bed in the 2nd Half of the A&M and the Florida game.

Our loss (that we should have won) to USC...had NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!

LSU Fans are soft!

I'd rather play and beat the Orange Bowl Champ, Rose Bowl Champ, Sugar Bowl Champ, and National Champ in the same year and lose the National Championship game like 2011...than have Jacksonville State, McNeese, Western Kentucky, and Rice as our out of conference game.

I'd rather lose to USC in Vegas...than beat Rice 77-0 at home.

Just confirming most LSU Fans Suck!

it's been scheduled since 2018. It wasn't thought of as laughable then

our fans didn't start complainging about these games until we started losing them
