17,943 in the seats

The LSU/Bama game day atmosphere is one of the best in the country all year. It'll be an all day party that lots of UL/LSU fans opt to attend over a UL/Idaho matchup. That's just part of life for Cajun fans. My question is this. What brainiac thought it was a good idea to schedule UL's homecoming on the same day that LSU is hosting Alabama?

With the lack of mid season Saturday home games, it was probably the only option. Thanks Karl and Scott

Arkansas State on November 24th would have been incredibly interesting for homecoming.

UL attendance < Lafayette residents & UL alum in BR for the day

Terrible

Not quite, but there will be many locals skipping the UL game because of all the LSU parties going on in the area Saturday evening.

I seriously doubt the schedule makers were monitoring LSU's scheduling efforts to see when we should play homecoming while not conflicting with LSU's high profile games.

We had basically 2 options...Idaho or stAte and that's the weekend of thanksgiving.

[zephyr]

If I'm not mistaken, we don't even schedule these games. Doesn't the league schedule the conference games?

Correct...we could have had homecoming in September,a midweek,or thanksgiving weekend...the only game that made sense was Idaho

[CajunEXPRESS]

Let's be honest, when homecoming was being considered nobody thought Idaho would be as much of a toss up game as it now appears to be. Only App State after a three week home stand was not a better option, and no way was stAte a better option.
