This has nothing do do with Slive, Alleva, Miles, TM7 or anything other conspiracy theory to screw LSU over. Its just a matter of circumstances. You really think the Orange Bowl wants NIU playing FSU. If I were a FSU fan I would be pissed that my team was playing these clowns. LSU/Clemson is going to be a really good game. These guys are pretty explosive on offense. This is one of the best bowl matchups outside of the National Championship and I am including the BCS Matchups which are terrible.

Our boring predictable retarded inept offense.

While this may be true I really dont think it had a lot to do with the selection.

Since you think our unexciting offense has lead to low.ratings, i.challenge you to back that claim up with facts. Id be absolutely shocked if you could.

Since we all.share revenue, a bowl is.only.a a good as the matchup. 10-2 LSU vs 10-2 Clemson is a very nice matchup. If you actually believe the BCS bowl.featuring Northern Illinois is a more attractive game than the Peach Bowl, then you are even more.stupid.than i gave you credit for. Which.is.impressive.

Speak for yourself, pal.

LSU played in the three highest rated CFB games this year: Bama, UF, SCar after having the five highest viewed games last year

Did you, O clueless one, notice that up until 1/9 last year, LSU was ranked #1 and was a mostly exciting team on offense, defense, and special teams. Have you not noticed a "slight" drop-off, esp. on offense, this season?
And as for this season, the ratings aren't just about LSU in the Bama, UF, and SCar games. They bring a pretty big viewing audience themselves, plus these were good match-ups at the time, and LSU had not established itself as a pretty lack-luster offense yet (like now at season's end).

so you have zero clue on what you speak of.

I think you're missing some pretty obvious facts and playing fast and loose with reality, yourself. So quit name-calling, mr. stapuff. You're sounding dumb.

The LSU national brand, while uninteresting to you, draws national numbers for the last two seasons

Oh, and the LSU national brand? That's mine, and has been probably longer than you've been alive. The only reason I'm sporting ND right now is because I am not a Bama fan or particularly tied to cheering for SEC teams who are LSU's blood rivals; and I want to see the Irish beat the Tide. Or to put it another way, I would like to see Saban melt down, and Bama give away the MNC to a non-SEC team for the first time in... how many years? It would do the LSU Nation good to see that happen in front of a national audience.

BS. They only notice the ticket sales. They DGAF if anyone leaves early, they've already collected the gate.

They notice TWO things:

Tickets sales

AND

Hotel/business spikes due to visitors in the city

They DGAF about people staying the entire game. But I agree, I hope we do show up well. If we're not into this game I feel that mentality will leak onto the field and Clemson could bite us in the arse.
