Really the only game hat sucks is the Troy game. A five day turn around for an ESPNU game is stupid.

Gonna be very interesting to see hour home crowds this year. Only one weeknight game. But, the schedule is littered with Former 1-AA's and New Mexico State who is arguably the worst team in FBS.

I don't go to a football game to watch the opponent. I go to watch the Cajuns.

Not happy with those Tuesday-Wendesday games...they are awful. Just happy they aren't home games. Depends mainly on the weather. We don't have two questionable weather games to being the season and no Tuesday night idiocy...we draw more than Arkansas State no question.

Right, so do I. But, that's not always the case with casual fans.

[CrazyCajun]

We have 15k fans that go no matter what, it's the other 15k you have to persuade

Only 2 home games before November.

Bad for attendance. Bad for tailgating.

Gonna be hard to maintain momentum with this team with all of the early travel, and midweek games.

For the record, this schedule sucks.

Not if we are 6-1 going into November

Why do we do these MAC swaps so much? I think FIU is the only other team who has done more than one home and home with a MAC opponent in the last 5-6 years. We are on #3. I don't think Farmer likes scheduling much and just waits to the very end to pick off the MAC team left over.

But hey, CUSA isn't really any better then the Sun Belt.
