    I think they should have gotten a firm price before they collected but they did say it would depend on the location and availability of that location once the funds were together. Now that the goal was met they found the location they wanted is more expensive.

    BTW...we should go into the sign business. 13 grand for a month is some nice change.

    Unless it escalates into an home and home baseball and football package I'm not intrested.

    If it ever does escalate into a football series, it may get the highestratings ever for a regular season game. This war is getting a lot of press.

    That's the same thing I was thinking. I would donate to have USC come play in Tiger Stadium. After all, I've always heard that LSU vs. USC in 1979 was the loudest game from start to finish in Tiger Stadium history. At least everyone would get an awesome experience in return for their money. Could you imagine how wild it would be if that happened? We need to schedule at least one huge team like that every two years or so since the tickets are going to be so expensive next year for the most part. Div.II teams should never be on our schedule again. Give the fans what they deserve - ENTERTAINMENT.

    I would not have any problem with USC if they would be honest and say they won the AP Championship. But to call it The National Championship is about like the winner of the NIT claiming they won the Basketball title.

    Or the basketball national title, since that's what the 'N' in 'NIT' stands for.

    I have a great solution to all this shenanigans with billboards....give all the money to me and I'll donate it to a worthy cause....my beer drinking fund. You see by donating the monies to me I buy and consume large quantities of beer. This in turn helps helps keep thousands of people employed and our economy strong. After all...my dog is better than your dog!

    Well, I dont believe this will EVER happen. First off, Lamar is big contributor to LSU. Secondly, If they allow this billboard to go up, many places who use Lamar advertising will boycott. GoodGame USC.

    I agree.

    That Auburn team could've given a better game than Choklahoma any day of the week. There was hardly a whisper by the press after the conclusion of the 2004 bowl season.

    The rules don't apply to celebrities. So USC can be as hypocritical as they want to be.
