not that much different than losing the MSU, and losing in the Cap One bowl yet AGAIN.
Cotton Bowl just makes more sense. That isn't even getting into the fact that Cap One would likely be a PR nightmare because LSU fans would likely not want to head back there again this year to play Michigan State. But they will go to Dallas to see LSU/AM. Hell, alumni in Texas alone will sell out the LSU allotment.

A lot of people I know refuse to go back to the Capital One bowl, that may actually be a problem. Something about spending a bunch of money, taking a lot of time, and then losing, leaves a sour taste in people's mouths.
I know for me, I will not go back to an LSU/Georgia game in Athens. Athens is cool, but not when you are wearing LSU shirt.

The media would favor a LSU victory over a Big 10 Champion
Perhaps, but Michigan State is no powerhouse from the Big 10. And let's not forget that they are Co-Champs and not outright Champs. What quality teams have they beaten this year besides Wisconsin? Plus, they struggled down the stretch against some of the lesser teams in the Big 10.
Texas A&M beat Oklahoma and Nebraska last month, as well as Baylor (they were actually decent this year).
Michigan State lost to Iowa, and they haven't turned out as good as expected. Who did TAMU lose to? Arkansas, Mizzou, and Ok State. Not bad losses when you think about it.
Michigan State benefited from playing in the Big 10, end of story.

Michigan State is to Michigan what A & M is to Texas. Nothing more. They're two peas from the same pod. The Aggies will make this game more interesting.

Young LSU fans

Not necessarily young in age, but people that jumped on only after 2003 season.
But it is a reasonable assumption that a lot of people on here could be 15 or at least have the intellectual capacity of a 15 year old.

I hates playing aTm. 0-1 here we come was the chant.

Since you suggest that age is a factor in weighing in on this subject, let me say that I started as a student at LSU in 1986 and have missed only two home games in the 25 seasons since then. Having sat through season after season where LSU didn't even go to a bowl game much less one where both teams were ranked in the top ten, I want to see them play in a game that offers the highest ranked opponent possible, not also-ran A&M at #18. The fact that they played A&M a few times 10-20 years ago is nothing but the past and adds nothing to the perception of how good LSU is THIS YEAR.

Last time A&M finished season ranked was 99... although I am a proponent that the past does not dictate the here and now. The rivalry with A&M has no bearing on a potential bowl game, they are just like any other opponent.
They are no different than North Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia Tech, and so forth. Teams we talk shite about, teams we think we are better than, teams we figure we should dominate. Just because we have a history with them does not matter since we haven't played them most of everyone's adult life on this board.
Of course I understand that on this board if someone agrees with another opinion it is because they are dumb or immature. Texas A&M is no different than if we were playing Oklahoma State, Michigan State, Florida State, they are just another team.

Very good point from the 2010 team's perspective. I was addressing fans and implicating recruiting consequences.

I have noticed that civility and intelligent discourse is frowned upon by the majority on this board.
Thanks for not adhering to the rantard doctrine.

I can promise you the players are not worried about this rivalry. Mainly because you have to figure the players are mainly 18-22, they are young enough to not remember there ever being a rivalry.
It is a rivalry to the fans only and by that mainly the older fans who remember it.

I imagine most players are only concerned with the games from the year before or maybe heartbreakers from early in their LSU career.
I don't know what goes through the players heads, I have a lot of respect for those 18-22 year olds who somehow stay focused on the game with all of the distractions.

What distractions do they have?
They go to work out, class, practice, tape, study hall, and then work out or home...
Les is not on the hot seat
The only distraction I could think of is Crowtons playbook as he is probably throwing more plays into the playbook and players looking at him with a "what the frick" look on their faces.

I heard Rome used to control most of the known world. Doesn't mean I'd be afraid to go to war with them now. Who gives a crap about the 90s? Two things have happened since the 90's, a.) scholarship limits and b.) the BCS system. It's ironic how not long after the BCS system, the SEC became more dominant than ever as the media lost some of its ability to vote big 12 teams to the top.

They enjoy many of the aspects of college that other college students enjoy...not as often, but they have distractions that every college student usually deals with...girls, drinking, etc.
Also I was talking about other distractions like media, fame, agents. That is a lot for someone that age to handle.

quote:They are famous in high school... hell look at recruiting board, grown men befriending 16-18 year old's on facebook. They are famous in their own respective towns as high school kids, in college they also get perks that many other college individuals do not have. I mean they have personal tutors, they are able to take test later and different type of test than other students, their school work is arranged through the athletic department for the most part. Yes they have distractions but nothing worse than anyone else. As far as media, I am under the impression many players are off limits. As far as agent goes, if they are into that it isn't a distraction because they are getting paid and it would bite LSU in the arse, so hopefully no one is that dumb.

Better not overlook A&M, they have a balanced offensive attack and an ok defense, which is enough to beat LSU.
So true.

1. I don't think there was any change in scholarship limits during or after the 90's. I could be wrong but I am fairly certain I'm right here.
2. The BCS started in 1998...still the 90's
3. Hard to argue that the two conferences that benefited most from the BCS were the SEC and BIG 12. It's not like the BCS has in any way HURT them.

So are you saying if the Russians were up to their pre-1990 activities and were knocking at our door you wouldn't be nervous, even though you are better armed.

I agree. I assume you have the mental capacity of a 15 year old.
