Interesting football scheduling

Exactly.

I gotcha now. I read your post wrong the first time. I thought you were saying Michigan was "above scheduling the directional Michigan schools."

In other scheduling news, what's everyone's thoughts of Notre Dame thinking about scheduling "home" games in New Orleans? Obviously New Orleans is a big Catholic area, but with LSU being as good as they are now, isn't that quite risky for Notre Dame to assume they'd sell out the Superdome against Hawaii or TCU?

Maybe UL could look into a 2-for-1 deal with Notre Dame where they play two at South Bend and one in the Superdome.

That would be SWEET! I remember hearing rumblings a few years about ND trying to play a regular season down in N.O. I could be wrong but I could have sworn I heard ND was playing a game in San Antonio this season?

_ LSU doesn't benefit from playing non BCS in state programs on the road. No stadium can seat as much as Tiger stadium, so LSU would lose revenue in playing such games. I think its good their playing in state programs on a rotating basis, until it becomes not in the programs financial interest.

The Cajuns haven't sold their 6,000 ticket allotment for the LSU game, so this might become a problem down the road. _

is this true? i hear the jags are bringing 20K to cajun field, but the cajuns won't buy 6K tix to tiger stadium?

A game with UL would be unreal---the largest public Catholic school in the US against Notre Dame----A huge Mass with both Alumni and students on the Sunday after at St Louis Cathedral----What a fabulous deal---maybe a Mass on Saturday morning and a Dome game that night!!!!!

They are bringing a lot but they aren't bringing 20K

20K, I'm sure you heard that from Southern fans? My source is the same one that stated Southern hasn't sold their 6k allotment for the game against UL. If they plan on buying walk-up tickets for game, the lines are going to be long.

I think the deadline is approaching soon, we will have to return them if not sold.

I keep hearing the same thing about the 20K Southern fans. If that's the case, then they're going to bring about 5K more than they bring to their own home games because they only average about 15K per game. I think what they're going by is the fact that they bring about 20K to the Bayou Classic and the other Classic game in Houston. That's completely different. Those are "events" with bands and socials and formals. It's like Mardi Gras in November. This is a September football game in Lafayette.

I keep hearing people say there's going to be 40K at the Southern-UL game. I'm sorry, but I'm not buying it. I'm going to say 30-35K, at the most. I don't think this game approaches the A&M game, and I'll be delighted if I'm wrong. I think Southern will bring probably 6-8K and UL will have 24K-26K.
