Louisiana, Ohio Sign Home-And-Home Football Series

[MelRock]

By Travis Webb

Over the last decade, Ragin' Cajuns football has put an emphasis on scheduling games out of the Mid-American Conference (MAC). That trend continues today. The Cajuns have signed a home-and-home deal with Ohio for the 2019 and 2021 seasons, according to the Ohio University athletic department.

The Ragin' Cajuns will travel to Athens on September 19, 2019 with a return trip to Lafayette tentatively scheduled for September 18, 2021. It will mark the second time the two schools have agreed to a series.

Disagree.

They've been good for nearly a decade and I understand that you take what you can get, but this is a tough matchup for anyone to get excited over. Just like it is from them to sell us to their fans. Pretty much any CUSA team would attract more interest from our fans based on proximity alone than Ohio.

Doesn't Harris have ties to Ohio U?

Yes

Wait, City tag or directional schools would be more attractive than a State named school???


I kid; I kid.

Will the stadium be complete for 2021 return match?...Let's see, that's six years. Hope it is with all the ground around the athletic complex completed.

Ohio University has a great band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZfkjee3Hm0

Not a bad matchup for an OOC opponent, but only if our team is competitive, unlike this year.

Officials from the University of Louisiana and the University of Ohio announced on Tuesday a renewal of a home-and-home football series between the two institutions beginning in the 2019 season.

Yawn

Not big news here, probably a decent team but will not draw fans.
