Worst Home schedule, EVER

[RaginScotsman]

It’s tough to invigorate a fan base and fill a stadium when you essentially schedule people out of attending. Even with a top 25 team.

It’s great to be on ESPN. I understand the whole argument of exposure, growing your brand, etc. It was great for us last year. It just really sucks for the fans that were going to go to a lot if not all of those games at home.

The tailgating. Out of towners and opposing fans coming in. The day long experience at Cajun Field. Tough to do when your schedule basically favors anyone who is not super invested in the program to miss games. Casual fans will stay home on those nights.

I'm not crazy about the schedule either, including the home opponents, App St being the only interesting game.
However, it is great exposure to continue to build the brand, especially if the team does well. National exposure is much more valuable to the overall growth of the program. We are not in a position to draw Saturday (day or night) national games at home. It's a delicate balance that Dr. Maggard is trying to achieve, and there are those that won't be happy but we have to be patient, this program is growing recognition. FOX TV on a Saturday against Texas is awesome. Down the road, Dr. Maggard can hopefully improve the home schedule as the program continues upward.

Dr. Maggard is doing a great job scheduling, then ESPN changes it.

Idk the univ has asked us to eat a lot of ____ the past 2 years

Moved our Section A tickets to end zone for the same price and one less game.

Now we have to pay for half of all the games to be on work nights. I work an 1.5 away from Cajun Field makes it a pain in the ass to get there.

The TXST game is on 10/30. It’s Saturday and I’m going to plead with the family to be there, but that’s the night you’ll have a lot of people do Halloween.

I know, it’s not actually Halloween, but it’s just another one of those possible reasons to miss a game. Decisions, decisions.

Wish they would have changed that one to a weekday and given us back another one.

Schedule sucks. SunBelt, just like all other conferences, sold out their fans for TV money. Also, the Ticketmaster payment system is crap. After tons of help from the ticket office, I was able to pay my ticket invoice. Then it kept giving error messages when I tried to pay for everything else. I wasn’t about to clear my history a second time to pay an invoice. Fix that crap then I’ll pay!

This is a generational disaster as far as the fan base. You got three shots at getting your children all pumped up for a Cajun game and tailgating...if the weatherman cooperates. Look at the MACTION...what a bucket of dung. You could pop off your three shells out your 12 gauge and probably not hit anyone on those week nights.

Covid Carolina is jacked in October for 3 weeks, open up on 9/2 a Thursday at home, then the following Friday hosting Kansas. Then November they play three Saturdays and Thanksgiving Friday, A,H,H,A.

Not quite as bad as us, but still killing the product.

The SunBelt outdraws the MAC in attendance. Not by a lot, but we've done so for the past 4 seasons outside of the pandemic. Even with the weird schedules, I still think the Belt will continue to outdraw the MAC, but it doesn't help that the Sun Belt schedule is looking more and more like MACtion. I hate it for Cajun fans because we know what the attendance can be like at Cajun Field. We had some great crowds even during the Bustle years and certainly during the Hud years. I know we have not showed out even with good teams the past few years and I was hoping that trend would change this year. The schedule makes that difficult.

I'm hoping at least the Nicholls game has great weather, the Colonels fans show up as they've been good and they've got a great atmosphere for the first normal game since 2019.

Easy to figure out which game will be designated for Homecoming 4 p.m. kickoff.
