Week zero games have been around for decades

This suspension does highlight the lunacy of scheduling power programs week 1. Thanks, Verge!

HOLY frick..I understand those requirements but I don't know why you're acting like those requirements were not attainable at all. LSU didnt have any interest in making those changes when they had the chance.

So you're mad we didnt search out an opponent who plays at Hawaii.. 5+ years ago when the schedules were made? Or schedule a game in Europe?

Yeah we really dropped the ball there

I'm not mad at all. But anger doesnt change anything.

In 2020 when the agreement with FSU was reached, LSU already had Army on the schedule (done in 2018) but at the very same time they were working on scheduling Southern and Grambling. They prioritized scheduling Grambling than someone like Air Force or New Mexico State.

These neutral site games are all about the money but I wish they played in less of them in the first place and when they were scheduling them, I wish they would only do so when they have the opportunity to schedule a week zero OR buyout a current scheduling slot and fill it in with someone else.

Why does it seem like every poster with Grad in the name seems like someone who shouldn't have the term graduate associated with them in any way?

What rules? The ones Texas A&M or Texas or Miami isn’t following. You sound like one dumb piece of shite.

Not that easy to change a game date like Matt stated in such a short time. We will be fine team as has enough time to make adjustments and game plan. I hate he will miss game like everyone else feels.

Why is it called week zero when it’s the 1st week of season?

Not sure why Kayshon was allowed to pick the game he was suspended last year but it must be week 1 for Maason, tho



This is what doesn't make sense.

Northwestern state is schedule to play @ Hawai’i in 2024 so if lsu was scheduled to play the demos the game could have been played during week 0
