Some of this makes sense. North Carolina is not on the same level as LSU. We played Washington State and Louisiville, but it ain't the same. The article paints a good picture why Board members should let the AD and head coach make schedules. In games like this LSU's black players would play like Supermen. They wouldn't hold back. They would show their azz. How much money is SU trying to get?
