"but LSU is denying the report. LSU is saying, however, that the game might be cancelled." That is the most confusing statement I have ever seen. Reminds of Something Borat would say.
It might have to do with the BCS oppenent trying to be scheduled. We don't want that scheduled right before Auburn so we may be switching some things around.
I would have to consider the impossibility of not agreeing with your middle point which you were referring to in the original quote that was referencing an earlier referral. If your smartest relative goes to a college with 3 or more directions in its name, (like Southern Northwestern Texas)....... YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK!
