Yes, it's a very difficult road. We've got to win a couple road games and go undefeated at home.

Now, that is a tough schedule. 1996. We went 5-6 and beat A&M. Nearly Bowl eligible with THAT schedule as an independent. That is big boy football.

Our schedules for about the last 15 or so years have been laughable compared to the schedules from the 80's and 90's.

Don't believe me? Ask Gerald.

If we can't get Bowl eligible with the FCS game and the SBC schedule alone, then we have no business being in a Bowl game.

Hud wasn't here in 1996.

He was comparing the schedule to his experience.

In fairness he didn't say it was the hardest schedule ever in the history of U(S)L.

That is the kind of schedule Louisiana should be playing. Can only do that as an Independent!

We may win 1 game if we had that schedule this year.

[CharlieK]

We may win 1 game if we had that schedule this year.

lol no kidding!

[HoustonCajun]

We may win 1 game if we had that schedule this year.

Yeah, but you can recruit better to that kind of schedule and be competitive. We are recruiting to the Sun Belt level.

[facelessjonmoon]

This is very true

[CajunNation]

Hud wasn't here in 1996.

I know that.

I was simply pointing out the folly of ever saying the current scheduling is tough by any measure.

And, doesn't "his experience" include being an assistant at StarkVegas?

This article was all about laying the groundwork for his argument that we shouldn't fire him after the season in case we aren't Bowl eligible.

[Ragin4U]

Yeah, but you can recruit better to that kind of schedule and be competitive. We are recruiting to the Sun Belt level.

You would have to win a majority of those games to be attractive to top recruits. 2-8 would not cut it. If you could be above .500 with that schedule and knock off a ranked team or two, you are correct.
