Our 'administration' will then price the game tickets at $400 PLUS...these money grab games are disgusting !


Looking at packages for k-state vs Iowa st in 2025 & I don’t even think they sell individual tickets. Only “travel packages” that include tickets

Ireland for a Louisiana team seems weird. Unless we play ND, there’s no need to go.

dumb. end neutral site games, and certainly nothing out of the fricking country. there are few enough games as it is, allow the fans a chance to see them in a true cfb atmosphere.

In that case, skip Ireland and go the the Nordic countries and recruit linemen

The lack of attendance for many games shows that there are plenty of games to see them in a true atmosphere.

I like it. Good for LSU. Good for SEC. Good for college football. Good for Nike

The players BK is recruiting couldn't give any less of a shite about going to Ireland to play a game. Most would look at it as just an unnecessary hassle to do something they could do here in the US. The majority of elite players just want big NIL deals and enough playing time to give them a shot at the NFL.

I doubt any recruit would ever stay "Well, I was considering Alabama. They offered me a bit more money. But I get to play a Big 10 team in Ireland if I go to LSU. So that really swayed my decision." NFL players don't like the inconvenience of having to play those games.

That's the SOLE reason they are scheduled. Both in college and the NFL. The NFL players don't like having to play the European games

Irish people would love LSU fans.

I have little doubt.

Does BK still think he’s at ND? London would make more sense. Even Paris would make cultural sense. Ireland is just…random. And if we’re doing random British isles locations let’s do Scotland!

Well, Ireland does the Aer Lingus College Football classic every year.

Not aware of any other European locations doing that

Exactly

The last thing I want to do in Europe is go attend an American event. Makes no sense

Also overstated. Have any of the teams that played the Ireland game seen a boost in recruiting?

Sorry I don't keep up to date with strongmen. I searched Nordic and that's what came up.

But thanks for letting me know

"Teach a drinking lesson"? That was supposed to happen when LSU played Wisconsin in G.Bay. A friend lives up there & she told me that the Badgers fans were super impressed over the LSU fans' drinking abilities. One told her " we finally found someone who can keep up with us".
