Home and Home with Eastern Michigan

[cajun_lannister]

Their stadium is only 5 miles from the big house so depending on scheduling/timing there you could potentially take in a Cajun game and a bucket list stadium on the same day.

There is a deli out there that is amazing it's been 5 years and I still dream about that corned beef on rye

The whining starts every time we say we're playing a MAC school.

Eastern Michigan was a bowl team last year. Played in the Camellia Bowl and lost to Georgia Southern on a fg as time expired.

We have games on future schedules against Rice (CUSA) and Tulsa (AAC) owes us a game.

In order to schedule somebody close, they have to agree.

Geez.

Everybody will not be happy all of the time. Go forward Dr Maggard and schedule away.

I love scheduling MAC programs. In fact I’d love to play MAC programs enough that we can go up and recruit their footprint for OL.

Agreed! And considering the dumpster fire in football scheduling he walked into at UL, I will give him some time to fix it going forward.

[CajunT]

Way to go. They were on the brink of getting rid of their football program. Would have rather played a Southland conference school.

Isn't Maggard on with Jay today? If so, I would live to hear the reasoning behind this agreement.

Geaux to hell McNeese, geaux to hell!! LMFOA!!!

This is a Scott Farmer type game. We would have lampooned Farmer for a game like this.

This is his third spring. Granted he took his sweet time starting that first spring.

EMU just beat Purdue and is coming off a bowl birth.
This is not some pity deal with a down and out D1 program.
They are on the rise. It won't surprise me at all if they are a MAC power by the time we play them.

I suggest you talk to DR. Maggard before you make this statement without information and context. I can tell you this, we were literally four years behind in contracting future scheduling while others have already come to agreements. That left him with very few FBS options unless something falls into his lap. You are a smart man, talk to me after you have that conversation with him.

Louisiana Football will match up against Eastern Michigan on the gridiron in 2022 and 2025, with the first game taking place at home at Cajun Field on Sept. 10, 2022. The Ragin' Cajuns are scheduled to head to Ypsilanti, Michgian, for the return game of the home-and-home series on Sept. 20, 2025.
