If we're playing on CBS a lot, it's because we're good. I'd rather be on CBS all season than have a few night games.
I appreciate the tradition of Saturday Night in Death Valley, but I like winning more.
Obviously, some LSU fans do not.

LSU fans -
"We absolutely do not agree with CBS putting us in the biggest time slot available for college football. We deserve to be playing on ESPN2 at 8:00 pm because that's how we done did it for 50 years. This is so messed up, I am pissed."

Why is it so hard for you to understand that we care more about kickoff time than being the "bigger" slot? 
Why do you have such contempt for tradition?

Some.
I just wish those fans would stop being so vocal. The 95% of unreasonable LSU fans give us 5% of good ones a bad name.

It is like that with every fanbase.

So you think 95% of LSU fans are ok with fewer night games?

So, lets get this straight. You would rather play every game at 7:00 or 8:00pm and be on ESPN or ESPN2 instead of 2:30 CBS?
Really?

No. I think you misread what I wrote.

Agree.
The 2:30 time slot is not a bad thing. And anyone that says different, hasn't taken a look at our recruiting classes the past 10 years. That national exposure creates interest in recruits that you never would have gotten in the 70s-80s.

Yes and the vast majority of LSU fans also feel that way.
It's called tradition, something Alabama fans should be able to understand and respect, but I guess some of you don't.

Obviously the OP feels that night home conference games trump that.

Everybody wants more night games. LSU doesn't have the market cornered on having great night game.
The Cock Pit is a crazy place for night games ... they just don't give us many of them anymore.

At least 80% of the LSU fan base agrees with me.
At least.

If you and all the LSU fans want to give up the CBS money and play at night go write your AD. Boycott the school until they do it. You will have to give up the CBS money but you don't need any of that.

Once you actually get those recruits to your campus, then it does.
That's why we have to have at least a couple. So we can show those kids the magic of Saturday night in DV

I guarantee your HC, AD, and anyone with any say so in LSU football disagrees. If they don't, well they are incredibly stupid.

I think you're projecting. You don't know how the vast majority of LSU fans feel about the situation.
Posted on 5/24/13 at 2:00 pm to Draconian Sanctions
So we went from 95% to 80%?
