New Orleans = big city one hour away w/ a major venue (the Superdome)

Shreveport = basically Baton Rouge, only 4 hours away, with a "meh" venue (Indy Bowl).

You do the math.

Why do you think LSU should help Tech? Why is it LSU's responsibility to fill up a stadium in another part of the state to help Tech?
Tech needs to stop looking for someone else to help them out and build up their own fan base.

man this is funny
Its more like 75% of tech fans talk shite about lsu. I live in ruston i know this for a fact

maybe 10% of tech students talk only about tech. A whole month before the game all heard was lsu sucks i cant wait till we go down to that shithole and beat them. i cant wait to mock all of them after we win. after we beat yall. tech fans still say they are better than lsu. if we would have had our starters, we would have won.Well i got news for yall, if we would have had just 2 of our starters playing....We would have won by 35 or 40

Except, it makes no financial sense for LSU to go up there and play. Tech fans have no common sense. Its a honor for them to even get to play LSU and prep us for our SEC schedule...

Who the hell do they think they are? LSU's cash in the athletic department is Football. Why the hell would they commit $$$ suicide going up there to play...

Obviously they think they're relevant because they're basically on LSU's level, LSU trembles when they play them and its definitely not a honor. They've accomplished more than LSU the past ten years, hell their entire history...

And if I'm judging the entire LSU fan base by the Rant, I'm concluding that all LSU fans are idiots as well.

Link?

And what is this honor shite? Do you honestly think that the Tech players feel honored to play LSU? Do you think after the game they kiss the players hands and say "It was an honor to just share the field with you, sir, I shall sacrifice my first born in your name"?

Go read your own message boards...their is your link. I'm sure you'll find all the answers you need there...

Yea, they should since their program is so irrelevant. Accomplish something, then maybe you can feel like you deserve to be on the same field.

It's not just about Shreveport and Tech. You also have to factor in all of North LA, which has sent many players to LSU over the years. I don't think LSU should play there, but it's not as absurd as most are saying here. Evangel, West Monroe, Longview, and Tyler Texas are all within an hour and a half of Indy. Some recruits that don't get to see LSU live would get the opportunity. I do agree that I would rather play in Jerry's World though.

Based on the results of the state playoffs it looks like there some players in N. LA...

As the price for home games keeps rising we will have to play at least one more out of conference game some years on the road - even against non bcs teams like the upcoming TCU game.

If the tickets were priced right and we worked out 3 for 1 or something it may actually make sense.

Tech is actually pumping lots of money into the school and their facilities and unlike the UL twins they have some alumi with big bucks.

As much as I hate to do this... I live around Shreveport and have forever. I'm an LSU grad and obviously ravenous fan for life. I've got a perspective on this that folks in Baton Rouge do NOT have.

I was at that Tech v Miami game. And I hate Tech. And even with Miami there they didn't fill the stadium or even get close to it. Was a good game though. If it was against LSU it would sell out instantly but who cares? It's not an SEC level venue.

The reason LSU should consider actually doing this game some time is that there is a LOT of talent up here. East Texas, North La... Evangel, Haynesville, West Monroe, Bastrop, the east Tx teams... you ignore that and we're going to have to worry about Saban stealing the Reuben Randles, A.Battles, Matt Flynns, Jacob Hesters, hell the list is endless and will continue to be. And Saban knew it and he's still got those relationships up here and after he wins an NC, he's going to be back with a vengeance if he sees a top recruit up here.

If LSU acts like the idiots on this board do and ignores North La or just flat out disses it the way some of you morons tend to, we are fricked recruiting up here. Cut the top recruits we will get in half and count them as Bama recruits.

That right there is reason enough to take the hit one day and play in Shreveport.

And whoever said that Tech doesn't hate LSU is delusional. These people have the most jacked up hate for LSU of anybody. They are completely delusional about their program and EVERYTHING is LSU's fault according to them. I can't stand being around Tech fans and I've got to live amongst them.

Anyway... you can hate on Shreveport all you like, but you take it for granted at a very high price for our team. And the more you dumbasses dis it, the worse you're making it for LSU because those kids read this board. Hell, I'm an alumni and you even annoy me with that ignorant garbage. So just attempt to shut up when that dumbass urge comes over you. We BARELY got Randle last year. Remember that.
