Worst Home schedule, EVER

[Cajun Soldier]

I think it is a terrible schedule no matter what day of the week you're playing on. I don't think that many fans will tune in to watch us play these teams but it is what it is. My question is if you look at some of the other conference mates home schedules and future schedule they have quality (name) schools visiting why can't we. Heck we can't even get regional teams to come to UL why is that. Personally and I have nothing to do with the schedule just a fan I'd rather go on the road and make money rather than play some of these games at home that would probably lose us money unless the TV contract is just that good.

The MAC was an early adopter of weeknight games. They almost created the niche.

At the time weeknight games really were an exposure asset.

Today at best, weeknight games might make outsiders aware of your existence.

Unfortunately they definitely make existing game attending fans forget you.

I will tell you who is happy about Tuesday/Wednesday night games and even to some extent Thursday and that is the business traveler. Pre Covid, I was on the road quite a bit, and I will tell you for those of us that were living in hotel rooms and/or hotel bars, the fall college football Tuesday and Wednesday night games were the only things I was watching and I didn't care if it was MAC or SBC, I watched them all.

Bottom line is the football schedule sucks. Football is for Saturday afternoons. Blah blah blah with the TV exposure. The same people that are saying suck it up are the same that will be biitching the day after the weekday game that only 12K showed up. The rest of the people will be traveling home from work, taking little jr to soccer practice, dancing, cheerleading, basketball, etc. Football is for Saturdays. Period. Besides...taking a sick day when you are not sick is unethical.

Some folks and companys just call it a sick day, but it could also be called a personal or annual day to use as needed.

In the Sunbelt the Cajuns have the worst future OC home schedule even Monroe has decent named schools going there to play them once again Why can't we get decent OC home games. We can't blame money we have more than Monroe.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Just FYI, some companies allow their employees to take sick days because of an illness in the family. But I will make sure to tell my wife she was being unethical taking sick days to travel with my son on his clinical visits because she ran out of vacation days. LMAO!!!!!

Driving your son to his clinical visit it quite a bit different than calling in sick to attend a football game. C'mon CajunT....you can do better than that.

That's one example, but some companies do allow their employees to use the allowed sick days for personal days. It's another form of compensation. I'm pretty sure you are aware of that fact.

I remember that game well Rick. I had family from Lake Charles that never let me forget about it either. I was 13 at the time, but I had to listen to their crap for a number of years.

It was a heartbreaker! For both teams.

[Louisiana84]

I get the frustration. I really do.

Shoot, I remember the first time we were on national TV. Cajun fans nearly had an orgasm over the fact. Now we have six and we're complaining.

But guys, the chance to show your product to as many as 110 million households on FOX and 80-100 on ESPN/2/U can do nothing but bolster recruiting. That keeps us with a program that gets talked about EVERY season.

Attendance at these games is crucial. I get you can't tailgate as long on weeknight games, but you still have an outstanding team to support.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, there is a big picture here that is much bigger than your chance to tailgate. This program needs you more than ever before. I'm a season ticket holder and an RCAF member. I'm also a member of the diamond club. I'm getting ready to increase my RCAF donation and buy four more season tickets that I don't need (but I'll be blessing some people for each home game). Increasing revenue is paramount for this program.

Don't SIT in front of your television. STAND with the rest of the fans and yell like hell for your team.

The future depends on you.

EXACTLY. Sit with me where the national audience can see you.
