SEC Schedule will change by 2025, but that would have been brutal.

without an actual preseason, everyone should start on the same damn weekend. Week zero should not exist.

Y’all worry about the strangest things.

If Coach was worried about it he would make the changes necessary.

LSU is not the center of the college football universe and it serves no purpose to worry about things beyond your control.

LSU should have used Southern as a zero game or New Mexico


Unless you play a team based in Hawaii (or I think out of the country) you have to apply for an exception and NCAA has to approve it. I understand wanting to but it may not be as simple as just deciding to schedule one.

There is a huge advantage gained by doing this and quite frankly, I don't know why we don't simply write a clause in to our contract.

Fla State’s first game is against a lowly opponent who doesn’t have LSU’s speed. It may work against them.

I agree but they got to start practice before we did

This bull-shite is ALL on the LSU 'brain-trust' [ is Verge Ausberry ? }...we continually sign 'home/home' contracts where LSU ALWAYS has the AWAY game first...what happens ?? Storms/covid..whatever and we NEVER get the home game ! We obviously should/could include a clause stating the FIRST game season opener shall be the FIRST game for BOTH teams !! WHY the F$%^ is this not 'fore-seen' by the administration ?

We should have done the same and gone out and scheduled pearl river community college to iron out the kinks

Why would we have a problem with it? We will have game film of them and they will have none of us. Sounds like a win/win for us...

Title says it all. I know it’s not that big a deal but it pisses me off to no end. And everyone is constantly doing this to us but we’ve never done the same.

No worries. FSU doesn't have the juice this year to beat LSU.
A few bounces go FSU's way, and it could be close.
Regular game, LSU wins comfortably.
Few bounces go LSU's way, and it could get really ugly.

FSU needs to tune up to keep it close.

it won't have any impact on our game with FSU. They play FCS Duquesne, which will be a glorified scrimmage for them.

We could scrimmage ourselves and it would have more benefit than playing a cupcake in week 0.

Let it go, man.

I see it as it gives us a week to direct scout game situations by them as well as risk for injury. I would also show the team the UCLA game last year as a reminder.

I coach and the improvement from week one to two is huge. You can REALLY see what your problems are and how to fix them. I hate that they have a leg up on us, but hopefully we can overcome it.
