re: Why doesn't LSU play good teams before SEC play?

I hate to interrupt this junior high spat, but I tend to think that most "big time" programs do not want to play LSU OOC, no matter where it is played, but I agree that if we do a home and home we are giving up revenue for questionable benefit. The original post just does not make sense. As if our players cannot adapt to better competition. The reps will benefit us immeasurably. Flame away.

I tend to agree with your philosophy. I dont believe an extra 3 or 4 games against better baseball teams will make any difference in LSU's SEC record. There is zero empirical data to support that theory. While playing closer games may help a teams mental toughness...I would argue that getting reps and confidence for as many possible players is just as important.
Pitchers and hitters are not going to become better pitchers and hitters in a matter of a few weeks because they are facing better teams. They face pretty good hitters and pitchers in practice and scrimmage.
Now as a fan...i would like to see LSU play a CSF every single week during non-conference play because...well...it's more exciting.

why not?
most of them play other top teams
besides, most people are calling for 1 really good series, and a few other ones that are a step up from Princeton, Holy Cross, and horrible cold weather teams.
