 Y'all should play us again. Its bullshit. I'm sure LSU fans are real pumped to see LSU/Chattanooga or LSU/McNeesee State instead of LSU/Tulane. The AAC is trying to shoehorn a Tulane/Tulsa rivalry in. gently caress that. And gently caress LSU too.

MourningView posted:I'm guessing for most LSU fans those games are pretty much indistinguishable from playing Tulane.  For now, yeah. We've beaten them before, and we'll beat them again. LSU has slump years just like anyone else. Michigan over the past few years is LSU in the 80s. Tulane can be competitive every so often when we get a Terrance Jones/Shaun King/Matt Forte. No one expects Army to beat Navy. But they still play every year. LSU just doesn't want to schedule a OOC road game against a G5, and doesn't want to risk dropping a game to an in-state FBS school in the best recruiting state in the country. I get it. Nothing to gain and everything to lose versus playing a warm body FCS at home. Makes sense from their point of view. But gently caress them anyway. Its everything that is wrong about college football right there. Maybe things will change when the SEC bans FCS like this Big10. Who knows. EDIT- Contract was broken in 2010 when LSU said they wanted all the games at Baton Rouge or they would cancel the series. Tulane said go gently caress yourself. And rightfully so.

Doesn't LSU still owe Tulane a game in New Orleans? It'd be cool to play it in Yulman Stadium but the Super Dome might make more sense from a ticket selling perspective. It's a shame they don't play right now. I wish Tulane played at least one Louisiana team a year. La Tech, UL LA (weird how their student body this they are UL), or LSU would be fun just for fanbase interaction. edit: Nico Marley is ready for the season. (If this were a broadcast, you'd be told he is Bob Marley's grandson about 6 times.)

The forward pass only became legal in 1906 and it took years before it was used less like a trick play and more as a regular part of the offense and it took to the 20s to drop the rugby ball shape and adopt more of what we recognize today as a football.

The ball was different and way harder to throw, teams turned it over like crazy back in the day. Offenses in general just weren't nearly as good for a lot of reasons. Nile Kinnick won the Heisman in a runaway as a halfback who ran for less the 400 yards (he also threw for 600 and was a very good cornerback/kicker/punter, but still)

Talking about old timey football led me to daydreaming of a return of one-platoon football, where everyone has to learn multiple positions and we stop encouraging linemen to be obese

Guys would quickly become smaller ala Aussie rules football and rugby if football went to single platoons. Which would limit injuries. Personally I like the specialization aspect of football, but I can see the appeal of going back to single platoons.

You guys lost the right to call it the Victory Flag after you burned it Also so much of LSU's traditions are revolved around our rivalry with Tulane. LSU used the colors blue and white for the longest time. And then changed them on a whim one day because it was easier to find Mardi Gras colors and Tulane already had green so we grabbed the rest. I'd love to see a competitive rivalry between LSU and Tulane again.

D-lineman already rotate a lot. Kill the ability to rotate in a bunch of players, plus make them play offense, and they'd have to get smaller. I doubt you'd see smaller wide receivers or anything, but I'd expect lines to shrink to more like what is currently inside linebacker/fullback type sizes.

Explanation I saw on Twitter for the Corso mascot head thing is just that Aubie's head doesn't detach from the suit. If we're taking old-timey pranks, in 1896 Auburn students greased the railroad tracks as Georgia Tech was coming to town and they supposedly slid five miles past Auburn. Today that would get you sent to Gitmo.

God it's embarrassing how much cooler and cleaner that uniform/helmet are than anything Adidas has done. Adidas's version of that would just have some kind of goofy rectangular pattern for the helmets and their dumb trademark chain-link fence poo poo all over the shoulders/neck.
