re: If you were the AD at LSU...

I never said it would be more important than a conference game, my point was that you would get battle tested early and when you see your first big game your new QB doesn't blow it because he is a deer in the headlights....your beloved Tigers lost to Florida, Georgia and Alabama because of your QB and while he won't be inexperienced forever there could easily be somebody else that will need the reps against real talent rather than throwing 4 tds against Tulane or Troy.

Ball State is another good example...let's fix the posers like Hawaii from last year and play the mid majors every year even if the SEC has to travel....lets be fair here.

My point exactly. How would that list fare in the SEC? Not well I think.

Pete Carroll would never agree to a home/home against LSU. It is simply not in hsi team's best interest.

Texas, Notre Dame, Missouri.
