re: Getting Bama game moved up on schedule

Alabama has been in the position relative to LSU a lot longer than O has been around.
First the decision must be made that you even want to stop making them special. That decision has never been made and stuck too.
It's not about him being smart or not. First you have to decide that you're not going to give them a power that they don't deserve. After a decade of eating shite it's not going to happen overnight.
Win lose or draw stop giving them this power over you and eventually it'll pay dividends.

Try again. LSU last beat bama in 2011. Orgeron first played bama in 2016 with the same oc ...and dc he has now. 2012 - 2015 vs 2016- 2019. Oregons had nearly as much time, without a natty and a runner up for another.

LSU hasn't beaten bama since 2011. Ed didn't come on the scene until 2015. Are you trying to tell me that you don't know basic math?

When we play alabama has ZERO to do with us winning that game or losing that game. It is completely grasping at straws to think that moving that game to October or even September is gonna make some difference. It isn't.

Okay, but Alabama is making LSU "special" and "more important" by taking their bye week every year before the LSU game.
Both teams are placing an emphasis on the game. It doesn't affect Alabama in the least. They still win every year.
Identical. Move it to week one, they still win. The insane fear of Alabama has gotten to the point that LSU fans are crying that we have TOO MUCH TIME to prepare for them. Strangely enough, Bama has the same amount of time, and they just dominate.
LSU had beaten Georgia and MS. State and was playing its best football of the year. A bye never affected Bama. It shouldn't bother LSU if we can compete with them.

You're correct. It had nothing to do with winning or losing the game. That's not the point. The point being that as of now you're giving them a position that they don't deserve which in the long run has a negative effect on your relationship with them moving forward. It's mental but a lot of times teams win or lose a game before they even strap it up. Why give your opponents an advantage over you on purpose.

That's because they've been dominating this game for so long.

This is about dropping any fear or intimidation. I'm sorry that I haven't explained it in a way that it could be understood that it's about not fearing them in the least.

Les miles lost regular season games to alabama in 2012 (1), 2013 (2), 2014 (3), ...and 2015 (4).
Ed has lost regular season games, as hc in 2016 (1) , 2017 (2), ...and 2018 (3). This year will be his 4th regular season attempt, which matches Miles. Difference being that miles had actual accomplishments, like sec ...and national titles.
I really shouldn't be having to break things down like this for you.

Please don't. You have reading comprehension problems.

But LSU and Alabama both schedule their bye weeks the week before their meeting.
Why is it that LSU is intimidated by the schedule and bye, but Alabama isn't?

It's not intimidated by the schedule it's about treating them just like everyone else.

But Bama doesn't treat us like anyone else, either. They treat us exactly like we treat them.
Pleasure talking with you, Ben. I enjoyed it.

id rather rotate two sec teams each year rather than having to play of the opponents (in our case , UF) every year
why the sec still does this when there are 14 teams in the SEC is beyond moronic..id love to punch the shitstains who thought this would be a great idea after expansion

I know two VERY astute Bama fans, not the 'homer' types, and they are VERY thankful their sched is set up like it is where they play LSU, Miss St and Aub in the back 1/3 of the season. Gives Saban time to get the young guys comfortable in their roles, all playing together; and after a bye where they can get healthy for the final push. Don't see them wanting to change a thing.

Are you suggesting our "shite" would be together before theirs?

Not giving Satan an extra week to game plan.
We couldn't score on Bama with two weeks to prepare, yet one less week to prepare somehow is the answer?

Ultimately taking all factors into account, higher probability for an LSU win.

Yep, it's only our coaches that are struggling with this.

Giving Saban two weeks to prepare is usually a loss that's why moving it up matters
They have better coaches, slightly better starters, and much better depth...playing them as early in the season as possible and with them having the minimal amount of time to prepare is better for us.
I do wish the situation was different, but that's not what this thread is about. OP is right.

I don’t care when we play them. I care that we play them with a good OL. The rest will take care of itself. When we do break through the drought, it will change the dynamics.
