Have fun beating us by 45 now instead of maybe like 31 or so?
Won't even watch. frick this season. frick my life. frick everything.
All I know is LSU fans are loving this at the expense of others. Makes me sick, not saying people here are assholes that just makes me mad. Whatever, it's life.
frick you man. if anything we know what the stress of hurricanes and flooding can do to a community. trust me. if you make the trip to BR you will be treated to a great time. just leave the sour puss attitude at home.

Very, very surprised by this decision and how 'they' derived at this.
You shouldn't be. This conference serves a handful of members better than it does others. This was only ever going to go back to BR.
Had this been a Missouri v Carolina game, they likely would have found a neutral location.
For the record, I don't care that the game was moved, even though I had tickets. This season has been awful, and there was nothing to look forward to. Just pointing out that not all members are treated equally, is all.

Does LSU have to use the away locker rooms and be the team that walks next to Mike? Intimidated by your own mascot. Could work.

My SC friends are saying it was a good move BY YOUR AD because LSU is splitting the gate revenue and covering other costs. This is the best way to maximize your revenue outside of playing it at your home stadium.
Again, they told me YOUR AD made this decision, not the conference or LSU.

Why so mad? You get another hone game against a glorified scrimmage? I'm glad that they moved it. I'm just pointing out that conference treats some schools differently than others. If you really don't believe that, I don't know what to tell you.

stop being so dramatic. lsu has had this happen to them before and almost had it happen twice in one season. it is what it is. it's not favoritism by the conference. there just weren't any more practical options that could be arranged within a few days notice

I don't know if you'd really want our players walking on to the field with the gigantic tiger.

Amazing how that narrative is changing now that the decision is BR.
All day yesterday it was "our AD will make the decision that's best for us." (which he absolutely did BTW)

they honestly may and probably should. they do when they host regionals at alex box and aren't the home team for that game. why should this be any different if usc is technically the home team? i'm sure lsu will try to do all it can to accommodate usc, just like arizona st did for lsu in 2005. i may be misremembering, but i feel like arizona state's band even played lsu's alma mater and/or fight song before the game

Does anyone have a link of the SEC making this decision and NOT USC?

I'm not, that sucks for your area, and we've been there. It's nothing to be happy about.

What makes you think the conference had more pull in this than you AD did? And you're acting like there is any competitive difference in where this game is played. Yall were going to lose regardless.

What about a 9 pm kickoff at Clemson? Seems like that would be much more profitable.

Maybe Clemson wouldn't give as much as LSU would. Maybe they had no interest in hosting? Why would any other college campus want this game?

I'm sure the SC AD made all proper inquiries before deciding LSU was their best bet. Again, he made this call. No one else. Was Clemson going to give them half of the gate revenue? Were they going to cover the infrastructure support such as emergency personnel, stadium workers, etc. like LSU is?

And Tanner made the right decision. I'm glad it was moved. Hell, I'm glad that it's in BR so that someone will get to see it.
USC contacted BoA in Charlotte, which was vacant this weekend, in an attempt to play it there. Many more USC fans could have used the tickets they already had, etc. It would have been a fine option, but I'd venture to guess that the conference wanted it to stay in the conference footprint, and saw it as a way to reimburse LSU fans for the game you already lost.
Again, glad it was moved. Would have preferred Charlotte, but whatever. Hope y'all enjoy the game.

Sucks for SC fans but its the right decision. Hope everyone is safe down there.
You cant really blame CNB and Cockpotomus for being uber douchebags they are good fans. But you both did go full retard for a minute. Wish i could buy you both beers
Heres to an injury free hard fought game

The entire state was hit including Clemson students and alum. They're also in different leagues.
