I looked for an existing thread and couldn’t find it, so mods can feel free to merge.

UFlorida has finally agreed to a 2 & 1 scheduling contract with UCF. If That can happen will we ever get LSU back on the field ? We have heard from TD that he needs atleast 1 of the games at Yulman. Can we really not swing a contract for 2 games in BR, 1 in the dome and 1 at Yulman ? Hell put the Yulman game as the final one to be played (they can buy it out). All I know is the program needs it

Not sure about TD saying 1 game would have to be in Yulman., If that is accurate and in any way holds up an agreement he should be fired. What we need to do is win our conference and the NY6 game in order to have some leverage to get them to play us.

Disagree with you there. If we win the conference and NY6 game LSU won't want to play us. They have little to gain and everything to lose by scheduling that game, especially one in Yulman.

Oh that’s all. Seems like a reasonable jump based on Fritz record to date at TU.

Hullabaloo-If we win that then we can call them out. Plus their fans are getting tired of some of the shit games they are having to pay to attend. Make ourselves worthy and we'll see what happens. Nothing guarantees it but I think our only way to get any type of serious series going again greatly depends on us winning at a high level.

Didn't say it wasn't a tall order. Just saying it's what we need to do to have a chance at it. If winning the conference and the NY6 Bowl isn't the goal of the program then shut it down.

I can’t remember when he said it but it was an interview, I think radio or podcast. But he said that some of the big donors that forked down cash for the stadium were given assurances that the stadium would hold big games. Followed saying it would be a bad look and set a bad precedent to only have the small games at Yulman and go to Superdome for big games. Then he mentioned that big schools are coming to Yulman and pointed to Oklahoma, Ole Miss and Miss State.

Well then we 'll never play LSU in football again unless we get paired up in something like the Birmingham Bowl.

Then we should at least add the second half of the stadium (west side upper deck). The west side looks ridiculous right now.

I don't follow lsu much but their fans seem loud, dumb, and powerful. A season or two of Tulane in the top25 and their own fans will do the work for TD.

+1, the last time LSU played Western Kentucky they had about 35,000 empty seats. I was offered 3 tickets for free by a LSU fan to the WKU game and turned him down. And, LSU can make them pay for crappy games, they just can't make them show-up for crappy games.

I just don’t see a scenario where there’s much upside for LSU to play us

Most likely the next time we play them will be in a bowl game, a game they cannot "find a way out of." If We have an up year, they have another 5-5 type year - Bingo, the Pussies have to play us for an SEC tie-in/affiliated Birmingham Bowl. :D 🙌

I think the door is open to make something happen with LSU’s newish AD. It would have been more likely if TD had left - If only Arnie was AD 😉

lsu's current AD has stated multiple times to any and all who ask that they WILL NOT PLAY AT COW/DICK and will not schedule us unless it is in red stick . Tulane can take it or leave it .
President Fitts , B of A , it's put up or forever hold your peace time . Make Tulane ATHLETICS relevant and top 30 again .

I think it is stiil 4 for 1 and our 1 will have to be in the Dome? Let's forget about LSWho (USN&WR no. 153, w/ 75% acceptance rate - https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/lo ... rouge-2010) for a while and continue to improve, make progress and move forward under WF for getting our own house in order.

For as much as Tulane fans, etc. focus on that school up the river, they don't even give us a second thought. For real, there is no incentive or desire for them to play us, especially in football, and the minority who want to see that matchup/rivalry return is getting smaller each year.

I think Texas and OU going to the SEC really hurts any chances we had of playing LSU again. They are talking about going to nine conference games.

I have played LSU for what 120 years ? It seems absolutely ludicrous for them to turn down a 2 for 1 with the 1 game being in the dome ans essentially still being a home game.

With the SEC super conference, the LSU train has left the station—for good.

I agree. I personally do not care if we play/not play LSU in any sport for time eternity.

If we make the Peach Bowl, we could play them.

Also if we get to move conferences, it will help our chances.

If somehow, someway, we end up in a Power conference, and we continue to win, the drumbeat will increase, and they won't have a legit argument NOT to play us.
