Thank goodness for the reshuffling of the conference I think because don't know if I could sit through look at what we have to look forward to next year. Starting to look like BB schedule.

Might as well go independent in football with that schedule. Lock up a deal with the NO Bowl and play a nationwide schedule.

We would get better home games that's for sure.

[CajunT]

The FBS OOC match ups are pretty legit. Too bad they're all away games, but still good. Hopefully we can at least win one.

Playing 2 road kill games again is not a good schedule. Sorry, that is not a good schedule and it hardly inspires season ticket holders to run out next year to purchase tickets.

Let's compare our schedules through 2019 to the rest of the SBC (our peers) and see how the schedules add up. Facts are facts. The reasons (excuses perhaps) are irrelevant at this point.

As of now,

App State has home games scheduled with Miami(FL), Wake Forest, Southern Miss and Marshall

Arkansas State has home games scheduled with Miami (FL), Iowa State, Tulsa, Memphis and UNLV

Georgia State has home games scheduled with North Carolina, Vanderbilt, Army and Memphis

Georgia Southern has home games scheduled with UMASS and Kent state

South Alabama has home games scheduled with Oklahoma State, San Deigo State, LaTech, Memphis and Southern Miss

Texas State has home games scheduled with Baylor, Houston, Arizona State, and SMU

Troy has homes games with Nc State, Boise State and Southern Miss

ULM has home games with Southern Miss and Memphis

I say the only school we are doing better than is Georgia Southern and possibly ULM...that is not good.

probably say same about us when they see La-Lafayette on schedule.

No, it's by incompetence!

So my question is, who could possibly defend anyone in the Atheltic offices on this? I mean, you just posted some pretty clear evidence. Why can't we put together a schedule that's on par with the majority of the sunbelt? I'm speaking in relative terms now, completely ignoring where we "aspire to be".

IMO, this is also indicative of the relationships we are forging with upper tier G5 schools.

Wait long enough and you will get a few red dots that will show you someone will! Or someone will be reading this thread and start calling fans "Turds In A Punch Bowl" right after his interview with Scott Farmer.

Not to mention

Tulane will be hosting Oklahoma, Georgia Tech, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and Army

Lousiana Tech will be hosting Baylor and Mississippi State

[ULGrad@HOU]

It's clear, our AD just doesn't get it, and he's not going to. He's just prodding along doing what he knows, and we are not going to get to where we want to be as long as he is in charge of Athletics. The only chance of seeing positive changes, is when he is replaced. T-Joe is not concerned, he probably thinks he has done enough for Athletics for now.

I'm not sure people understand how much scheduling is about having relationships with other schools. I'm not sure people understand how much scheduling can tell us about the health and future of our program.

If our relationships with upper tier G5s aren't strong enough to sign a home and home contract, how in the hell are we supposed to believe the relationships are strong enough to support our membership in their conference?

Bingo!!
