We are a lackluster program currently and we need to build it up first. We already have Clemson and FSU on our schedule who are light years ahead of us talent wise year in and year out and we have trouble just keeping games close vs them. Now you want to add LSU? You can't start each year off 0-3 by playing 3 powerhouses. We aren't on that level and wont be soon.

We play showcase games each year. Clemson and FSU. No need to add a 3rd.

We will be good again, no doubt...someday. But why make it tougher on yourself as we begin that climb by adding LSU to your schedule? You get no kudos or brownie points for losing tough fought games to good teams. What does happen though is you get laughed at when you can't qualify for a bowl when damn near every school in the NCAA gets into a bowl cause there are so many of them these days.

We play enough tough teams. Clemson, FSU, L'ville...throw in VT and Miami occasionally. For where we are as a program we are good. SU gets tested, its ok to throw in some cupcakes to go along with the Pitt, BC, WF and others on our level.

We can be a proud program...just be a smart one too!
