LSU - Fla is usually one of the biggest games of the year. Wish there was a way to keep Fla and rotate two others.

Anyway...I'm a definite yes to playing Fla every year. I love that game.

In all honesty this whole not playing USCe UT UGA enough is just total BS. Since when has it become so important to play these teams when we have BARELY played them up to this point. Especially UT and UGA, in the 100 plus years have shared conference affiliation we have only played UT and UGA 32 and 29 times. Come on we as LSU fans need to stop bitching.

Where was all this crying during the first expansion when we chose to play the two east teams we have the most HISTORY with UF and UK. For these whiny fans making this an issue in 1991 we played USCe 13 times UGA 20 and UT 22 times there was no outrage then.
Why you ask because UF was just beginning to own us during that period and now that we know what they are capable of we want to drop them, it sounds scared to me.

yes play UF every year.


Eta: As a fan, I would rather play UGA and UT every year as well instead of big OOC games.

I am ok with playing Florida every year

I do wish though a schedule could be developed where we would have a chance to see other SEC East teams more often

No permanent opponents outside of Bama-UT and Aub-UGA

love Florida game, but not enough to prevent us from playing other EAst teams on a semi regular basis

I think it's odd how Florida fans still want to keep LSU as a permanent opponent when LSU is a premier college team right now and we suck.

Depends on how you choose to look at it. Most non-LSU fans on this board have taken the bait that it's about being scared. Considering the state of the programs and both programs over the last ten ten years, the scared argument just seems like something opposing fanbases say when they're afraid the status quo is under assault.

I love playing Florida. I have respect for UF and it's unlike any other game in the SEC for LSU in that regard. But at the same time, I think it's inequitable to not have a rotating schedule, and I would like to play other teams in the East.

Good to see you step away from the poli board for a change josh.
