Seriously, I fully expect that game to be played in the new Texas Stadium, which will be located a short drive away in Arlington and will be operational by 2014. No way they play that game in Ft. Worth.
LSU needs and wants DFW metroplex football players...............check the number of D1 QB's coming out of this area. The positive, longterm effects from LSU playing in this area IRT recruits far outweighs the impact of one game at ACS. LSU has gone on the road to play in smaller venue's for years. Texas and A&M played in the stadium for years in the SWC. A #9 ranking in one poll and 11 in the other says TCU is a "Big Boy".LSU! LSU!
But do we know if TCU will be in the same position that far in the future? I would feel more comfortable if it was an Ohio State, USC, Miami, Michigan.
Surely you jest? Texas, USC, Ohio State, Michigan, and TCU? lol Yeah, I'm sure an LSU-TCU game will draw national attention like last year's Ohio State/Texas non-conference matchup!:dis: Maybe they'll move the game to a Thursday night so it can garner some attention...
Do we know that LSU will be in the same position that far in the future? That is 7 years away. Look where LSU was 7 years ago. In 1999, did you think LSU would have won 2 SEC championships and a national championship with another SECCG appearance by 2006. Probably not. The fact is that in RECENT history LSU is just as much an up and comer as TCU. LSU was a turd in the college football world for the better part of 10 years before Saban came in. LSU v. TCU could be a great matchup. I'll sure as hell go to the game because it is at a great location. We don't even know what the landscape of college football will be by that time. Some of you need to get over this all high and mighty LSU stuff. :geauxtige
If this post needs to be explained to you, let me be the first to support your efforts to get your money back from WHEREVER it is you "earned" your degree, IF THAT HAS HAPPENED.:geauxtige
:geauxtige No one ever said the game was the "game of the century", but the matchup is good enough in TODAY'S standard to warrant home/home. I would imagine that most of the "newbie" LSU fans have forgotten the days of LSU football when almost no one was afraid to come to Tiger Stadium for obvious reasons. As to the first line of your post, you can leave out Michigan this year, they had 5 losses and concluded their "fine", overrated season by losing to a middle of the road Nebraska team.
Whatever your loyalties are to TCU, they are preventing you from thinking clearly. I can't imagine any rationale LSU fan wanting to play @ TCU over @ Michigan, regardless of their record this past year. I'm done...
