    Half of our fan base can't make it through 4 quarters in Baton Rouge.

    You are missing the entire point. As many are.

    No, It's not ever going to happen. Why waste time on it. The Big 12 has nothing to offer that would be better than keeping the status quo, The gumps aren't going to be scared into moving the SEC office to Baton Rouge.

    It's not about moving the office. It's showing that unless you start treating LSU like you treat the other schools you drool over we have no problem looking around to see if there are better places for us. Again. It hurts nothing to have a conversation. Nothing what so ever. It shows that YOU have LSU's best interest at heart, not the southeastern conferences. It's not about being scared to play anyone, its about being bent over and fucked by Birmingham at every turn.

    Someone can't abuse you unless you allow them to. We need some personnel with balls so others have a healthy fear of them.

    That was my point, The moving SEC office to BR was just a non serious tounge-in-cheek comment, The fact is that Bama nor anybody else is going to believe it's nothing more than a bluff. You don't threaten to go all in unless the pot is worth it and the Big 12 pot is a pisspot compared to the SEC's Pot of Gold.

    I'm sure a case could be made for talking to the big 12, but there would have to be more intrigue than "LSU is leaving." Maybe if we could take action with several teams sick of Bama's shit. Nothing's ever off the table, but a unilateral move seems like a weak play. I think we've got a solid position in the sec and could make more hay here, just find ways to exert our will more.

    No because I enjoy being apart of the SEC. It is the greatest conference in America and if you would probably hurt recruiting.

    I actually think it would make LSU weak. Like taking your kickball and going home. We don't need to hold anyone hostage or prove a point. No other teams would care that we left. Maybe it hurts the SEC front office, maybe it doesn't. But it doesn't help LSU
