    Take it for what it's worth.

    How does this effect us taking away the bye week later in the year in the middle of SEC battle?

    really hurts. not so much because of the loss of a bye, but because the qbs will have less time to get good. troy was the perfect escalation in opponent at the right time.

    the line against AU just shifted their way.

    I agree on both fronts. I think the QB's needed this game to improve for Auburn.

    Plus, a bye week would really help down the road to keep the team fresh and healed up. We saw last year what happens after a few weeks of SEC play and half your D-Line is limping to play.

    I'd rather they play the game AT Troy than postpone it.

    Why don't we use the dome on Saturday?

    Bingo! If LSU really wanted to play this game, they could have moved it to Troy OR moved the game to Shreveport (I don't know if the Superdome would have worked out). But the problem is:

    LSU WANTS THE MONEY :wave:

    An away game just wouldn't pay the bills like a home game would. So they'd rather make the season harder on the players and cash in, than worry about what's "best for the team.

    No LSU Football this weekend. Boo!

    Looking at the tropics, with Ike and Josephine, we'll be lucky to have a football season.

    I am trying to stay positive about this move. But, right now, I want to cry like a little girl. I believe in coach Miles, but LSU will essentiallly be starting over against NT. Meanwhile, Auburn is seasoning up. Can't be helped. But, boy does it suck big time.
