Now we're catching grief because we're trying to be flexible for the good of the conference?

Yes.

Aggies gave LSU no end of grief for dropping the extension of the series in the 90s due to going to an 8-game conference schedule after SEC expansion to 12 teams.

Now y'all are pussying out on OOC games because of changing conference schedule concerns.

The SEC went to an 8 game schedule in 1992. LSU ended the series after 1995 and five-straight opening weekend losses.

So after three years, someone in the LSU front office finally said "Holy chit, Boudreaux, we'd bin plahyin' dees Ahgeeze da firs week for tree dam yeahrs and we don' got anotha SEC con-test we gotta play!"

This seriously needs a separate thread. Those hypocritical Aggies gave us hell for years about that and now they are doing the same freaking thing. Funny how that works out.

The USC never even signed the contract so there was no game for A&M to drop. Latarian and the linked author are playing fast and loose with the facts on that one.

The series with Oregon was mutually ended just like Oregon did with KState last year.

that is nothing like killing a game less than a year out and trying to claim schools like ULM and ULaLa are equivalent opponents to weasel out of your cancellation fee. Also, it was the fact that LSU refused to pay to cancel that was the real issue.
