re: Do you think the attendance at football games would improve

about the only way attendance could improve is if LSU start's allowing 2 tickets per seat and we can sit on each other's laps.

I think this happens in my section already.

So you would rather have seen LSU get creamed during the regular season by USC

No, I would like to see the Tigers stomp on the Trojans or any other team. I hope the team has more balls than you.

if the home games were played against better opposition. The only 'good' teams this year at home will be Florida and Auburn. The out of conference home games are not against 'good' teams.

---

To be honest, I like the fact that there are a few 'cupcakes' on the home schedule each year. I bring about ten of us (kids and nephews) to these games each year. Try to pay for 'bama or Fla tickets each year for ten, yeah right. We get to tailgate with my sister, cousins, etc. and also get to watch our beloved tigers kick some butt (Troy scared me though this past year, haha, even though Troy is my alma mater).

Yeah, I realize these games don't help the strength of schedule argument, but if LSU takes care of business in the SEC, then it doesn't matter after all.

Sellouts for the last 5 years straight. What improvements are you referring to?

Playing someone like USC or TT is a lot different than scheduling some middle of the road team from a BCS conf. How about a game against Cal, or maybe Wisc, or Rutgers, or Miami, or Neb?

---

USC is a hell of a lot different than TT. Although I would like to see a middle of the road schools, but how different is a bad-to-middle of the road team from a BCS conference than a middle-to-good team from a non bcs conference?

Appalacian State and Troy were ranked higher by Sagarin than the following schools:
- Colorado
- Kansas State
- Purdue
- Minnesota
- UCLA
- Texas A&M
- Syracuse

Now ask yourself this: Would any of these schools schedule LSU or would they rather schedule a I-AA school and have a better shot at a bowl game. Scheduling is a 2 way street.

I'm not saying you need a Top 5 matchup in Sept, but at least give the fans *something* to cheer about. And for the record, no if you can't win your games against good competition, why should you go to a bowl?

True.

fixed it for you. im not in a hurry to get to bogies after games.

The schedule makers at LSU are absolutely failing the team and the fans and there is NO excuse for this.

Tell Alleva to put someone else, or hire somebody new, with better negotiating skills to put the schedules together.....
