He is the living embodiment of the Peter Principle. You get promoted to your level of incompetence.

He needs to be retired more than 10 year old tennis shoes, or at least just give him some bs job like diversity compliance or SJW.

Then can we make it a policy that if a team schedules a week zero game after the schedule is made that we can opt out and get another opponent.

I hate when people say this. The only thing, at least at that point in time plus the end of Orgeron’s tenure, that resembled LSU were the uniforms.

It’s that type of stubbornness that has gotten the program into the hole they’re currently well on their way of digging out of.

It’s not that we are LSU it’s that until the last three years LSU was a stable program. Stable talented programs don’t need week zero against some trash team “to work the kinks out”. BK seems to have LSU bank to that level.

BullmotherfLuckingspit you can't mandate EVERY FUTURE kickoff game you play to be the first game for both teams. If the potential opponent won't agree, no motherfLucking game with LSU. There are PLENTY of schools that would play us and agree to that.

There's what, 45-55 non SEC power 5 schools? Find one that plays it fair and square. In fairness to your viewpoint, we can't do anything about CURRENT contracts that have already been signed. But WE SURE AS HELL can insist on that from now on. And I bet my next paycheck BK approves this message.

Verge should have been gone in short order after his complicity in the Title IX debacle. Earlier comment had it absolutely correct. If he had been a white man he would have been terminated immediately. Sad but true.

Our fans are always looking for some irrelevant and peripheral thing to blame losses on. All of the sudden we have to have week 0 games or we can’t beat UCLA or FSU. It’s pathetic.

Week 0 games are going away in a couple years when the 12 team playoff arrives, so calm down.

Verge needs to get his tail out of LSU country and shouldn’t be working for the university to begin with. Guy is scum.

But Verge just issuing a blanket refusal is stupid. Par for the course for him.
I totally understand that amd agree with your opinion. But there have been quite a few folks here over the course of the season that were upset with us fir nit scheduling a week 0 game. Our chances were almost 0.

I'd like to see us put a clause in future contractual agreements with these week 1 opponents to disincentive the scheduling of a week 0 opponent. That might not go over well, but a boy can dream.
