We talking football right? Football charters flights. I am sure they would go directly to Waco Regional Airport. Why would they go to DFW?Quote:

The next year we lost to Texas on the road and then won 13 consecutive games including the conference championship and that is why we ended up ranked. The Iowa St game had nothing to do with finishing the 2021 season ranked. There is more than one way to get there and if you can beat a ranked team along the way, it only enhances your resume.Quote:

Yet that is exactly their mentality when it comes to playing multiple P5 programs to raise revenue. And they begin every season 0-4 or 0-3, putting their team in a hole and killing interest in their program before their first home game.
I'm certain I've been around longer than you when it comes to being a UL Football fan. I've seen exactly what that kind of scheduling does to a program during the Stokely and Bustle Era. I have no interest in returning to that kind of scheduling.
BTW, we played Florida State this year, play Minnesota this year and Michigan State next year. Sounds like we have ample opportunity to defeat a P5 program and we still play six home games.
