Falconsfan567 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 It made perfect sense for them to move the game away from South Carolina because of all the flooding. What doesn't make sense was putting it in Baton Rouge and giving LSU another home game. Why couldn't the game be played in Georgia or Tennessee or somewhere else? No, I'm not talking about at Georgia's or Tennessee's stadium but there are plenty of other stadiums available. It's not like LSU wasn't gonna win anyway but it throws off the whole balance of the SEC by giving LSU an extra home game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95Dawg Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Why not at the dome or at UAB. Heck they're not using their field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can play the game on the surface of the sun and South Carolina is still going to get skull dragged. I don't really see the problem.

SacFalcFan Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 they reached out to a few neutral site locations who couldn't get stuff ready in just 4 days so they really only had 1 option. i do like how LSU has embraced south carolina. the playing of sandstorm in the pregame and when they come out to knowing and playing the south carolina fight song. they are also giving all of the profits minus expenses from the ticket that are sold to south carolina.

I admitted as much in my post. That has nothing to do with this. What the problem is, is how giving LSU an extra home game throws off the competitive balance of the SEC. Florida plays at LSU next week. LSU should have been coming off a road game in a tough environment but instead they're coming off a home game while Florida is coming off a tough road game at Missouri. No matter how bad South Carolina is, it's tough to go into Columbia and win. That's the only issue here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they had more than 4 days, they had flooding issues in South Carolina last week before the hurricane even got anywhere near there. Yes it's nice of LSU to try to make it a home game for South Carolina, but lets get real, the crowd is going to be 90% LSU fans just like a normal LSU home game.

Falconsfan567 Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Leonard Fournette is a man among boys. He's absolutely unstoppable. I never got to see Bo play but I'm guessing this is what it looked like. 87-yard TD run untouched right up the middle and shook #42 right out of his shoes.

The Shotfather Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 The jersey is pretty **** ugly, I hate the shoulder stripes. If it was just a straight purple jersey with the white helmets and white pants they'd have one of the best overall uniforms in the country, and use the yellow helmets and yellow pants as alternates.

I know the AD's met from the two schools on Wed and thats what they worked out. It did give LSU another home game. (Which did not matter because SC sucks and LSU wins either way) I also noticed that the game had lots of empty seats. I do not think a neutral field could be decided upon on short notice.
