“…TCU backed out of the schedule and we needed a replacement in short order and we are paying you rather handsomely to come to BR and play us.”

Prove this. Show me schedule…anywhere…which said LSU and TCU were playing in 2012. The home-and-home was always scheduled for 2013 & 2014. Always. There may have been negotiations to the contrary, but there was NEVER, EVER any official announcement of a game in 2012.

I was one of the very proud alumni that made the trip to Baton Rouge for this game. I think it goes without saying that your article was disgraceful and as an “Art Editor”, you should stick with what you know, whatever that may be. I was proud of our guys both before and after they took the field for this game. They proved you and everyone else wrong. Thing is, they shouldn’t have had to prove anything to you.

I look forward to reading your follow up article entitled, “Eating Crow – Art Directors dabbling in Sports”…

This is for all who want to read what LSU fans thought the final score would be. Towson proved all of them WRONG!!!!!!!!!!

And to think Towson fans were doom and gloom.

Black_Ops, so where is your comment congratulating Towson for scoring 22 points against the #3 team in the nation?

So far, I am the only commenter in the sports section “Towson roars with the bayou tigers.”

I was against Towson even playing LSU in the first place but like the Boise State Broncos, Towson is learning they can play with the big boys in the FBS.

Oh yes I do apologize for adding to the doom and gloom I thought Towson would experience. I was WRONG! But then again, sports is very unpredictable. Just ask Michigan after Appalachian State beat them at home.

WAY TO GO TIGERS, the T-O-W-S-O-N Tigers that is.

I would also like to hear the thoughts of people who were so against this. It is the nature of football that you often play bigger-better teams, especially in College-and-HS.

Now, I won’t disagree that Towson was outmatched, but I don’t think enough people were aware of the potential of our “little” team to go out and give it their all. I’m pretty sure nerves were a little shaky during the week prepping for this game, but after the first hit, the nerves were gone… and it was just football once again. And I think only people who have played football can understand what “it’s just football” truly means.

Also… i’d like to point out. That the only serious injury to occur, happened to an LSU player; if memory serves me correctly.

GO TU!

Well now I would like to see if you stand by your decision after Towson’s great performance against LSU. Way to go Tigers! (of both teams)

1. You have to pay for girl’s tiddly-winks, ergo 500K to come play us
2. LSU fans will be more than happy to hand you a beer and some Good Cajun Food at the thousands of tailgate parties going on campus…yes the entire campus. We had like 5 U-Dub fans at our tailgate. We were happy to have them. They knew they were getting beat. They were happy to be there. Enjoy Baton Rouge, then head down to New Orleans and enjoy that.
3. Head to http://www.tigerdroppings.com to see what the LSU fans are talking about

It will help pay for the other smaller sports to continue their existence at TU. $500k-1M is a fair chunk of your athletic budget most likely. TBH, the fans at LSU don’t want to see this game either, but TCU backed out of the schedule and we needed a replacement in short order and we are paying you rather handsomely to come to BR and play us. Enjoy the tailgating, enjoy the atmosphere of what many believe is the greatest place in CFB, Death Valley on Saturday night. It will be dialed back because of the weather, but there will be good food and an entertaining game to watch.

As a former Tiger, I can’t begin to list the many ways I COMPLETELY DISAGREE with your article…
If everyone thought like you, the words, “underdog” “upset” would never have made it into our sports vocabulary…This is WRONG and frankly, UN-AMERICAN, on so many levels…
The amount of positives for such a move far out way your short-sighted, pessimistic, mindset.
You have to start with ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE in all phases of life, whether SPORTS, business, personal life, etc…
People with the opposite mindset are doomed to mediocrity and will never do anything GREAT!
I’d rather people like you not write articles in my beloved TU TOWERLIGHT–kids might be listening.

If an athlete can’t get into knocking off one of the big boys, then they shouldn’t be playing. I can remember when LSU had to come back about 40 points in the fourth quarter against Troy. It will be a great experience down in swamp land with a bunch of drunk fans calling you names, while 500 sweaty pounds lays on top of you. Something to tell your grand kids about. That quarterback from Idaho was a good sport; think he was cracking jokes at the line of scrimmage. That’s probably the proper approach.
Anyway excellent subject, there are pro’s and con’s.
