re: Do we need to retool next year's OOC schedule?

Speaking of the schedule. I've noticed that the Arky game is scheduled for the 23rd (Saturday) while Thanksgiving is on the 28th (following Thursday). Think they're going to change the schedule for that? Or was that in their game plan to rid the after Thanksgiving game?
ETA: frick! I was looking at 2013. It's the 22nd in 2012. NVM. Up way too late. Can't sleep looking forward to the SEC Championship game.

frick that shite. That schedule is kick arse, best ever in the history of LSU. You know why? Because no way in hell any of those games are played during the daytime. The "somewhere fun" to go will be Death Valley at night time.
Yeah, man. The tailgate leading up to that big Satuday Night showdown with Towson will be fricking EPIC!!!
Hell, I'm getting goose bumps now just thinking about it.

Boise and a has been team for which after this year we will have won three NCs, all in the span of more than a decade away from when they last sniffed one.
Yeah, way to set your sights high.

only thing ooc schedule gives us is a clamp on other conferences mouths saying we don't play their best.....everyone knows that's a joke, few other than sec admit it. we keep key players next year, we stay where we need to be (top 3 at the very least) win the sec and you're in

I would love to see us take on another high ranked team early in the season.. That Oregon game really set the stage for what we were capable of this season. So... we wont play any ranked teams until we start conference play.. that wont help our SOS ratings at all...

Next year, beating any team not in our conference will have the same net effect. However losing to a really poor team will be devastating. Losing a to a good team- not so much. So - JUST WIN!!!!

I think tough ooc schedules are not only appealing to the fans for obvious reason, I happen to think the players like tougher competition too. They can have a reason to get fired up game to game. I'm not saying they don't need a breather cupcake here and there but it sure would be nice to have more entertaining games like we had this year.

All we did by playing Oregon was take a chance on losing a game that would've knocked us out of the national title picture. That's it.....nothing more
How would it have knocked us out? Every other team has one loss. We'd be right in the middle of the picture. Ask Va Tech if they wouldn't rather have had UO on their schedule right now.

it wont hurt it.....as sec play helps SOS. seriously, win sec undefeated, your in. Georgia this year is very rare

Just awful. Then again, this schedule will allow for LSU to fine tune whoever will be the QB next year.

quote:Good Lord, I hope so...I loved the schedule this year...although, if the SEC goes to 9 conference games, Towson is getting the boot.
Do we need to retool next year's OOC schedule?
regardless, we need to be playing at least two OOC games against teams from BCS conferences...

Can one of you who thinks A&M will replace Townson link a reference to a 9 game conference schedule?? A&M will replace one of the SEC east teams that were going to rotate on our schedule next year.
towson will be replaced with aTm

I would say expecting to get to the end of the season undefeated in the SEC as a norm would be very rare..
I am happy we have this season, but expecting that to be the case every year is not very reasonable...
It also shows confidence in your team and program when you schedule tough competition early in the year, instead of ducking it. I like it personally.

If the SEC is perceived to be down, you will need a strong OOC schedule to separate yourself...I don't know why we haven't figured that out yet.
Posted on 12/2/11 at 8:46 am to lake chuck fan
likely LSU this year, Auburn last year, LSU getting in with one loss caused an uproar, two losses in 07 was unheard of. auburn 04 brought changes. seriously, I try not to say this....but some people don't know what they're talking about and act like experts on the subject

And especially in a year where the good teams from the other division in your conference aren't on your schedule. I had conversation with a friend where we talking about whether the SEC was down this year. My argument was it's still good, but there are only two good teams in the East...neither we nor Bama had to play either of them. At least not until tomorrow.

Towson...another pretend "Tigers" school with no actual Tiger.
Posted on 12/2/11 at 8:56 am to lake chuck fan
I love it. To go away from home and beat two above average OOC opponents. People want to say, well, AU, UF were down this year...we say ok, we'll just go to a neutral site and beat a preseason top 5, then we'll go on the road to another top 25 team in a hostile environment and beat them. Like someone said in another thread...Leave No Doubt.
Plus, there's a reason why we could lose this weekend and still make the title game. And it isn't because the SEC was lights out this year. It can't be emphasized enough...UNDER THE SYSTEM THAT DETERMINES THE NC, THE SEC WAS NOT THE BEST CONFERENCE THIS YEAR.
