Just make a scheduling alliance with Tech. Boost ticket sales for both of us, no conference affiliation politics to deal with.
A scheduling alliance is a great experiment to see if La Tech can play nice or not, but La Tech hasn’t been open to scheduling us for football. It would be nice to see that change out of conference.
Rumor has SMU trying to get into the pac12….of that happens would that open up a navy, Memphis, or ECU to wanting to move?
Keep your enemies......
I got blasted for wanting them last year as well.
I love the hate, we need more teams to hate in the SBC. That’s the passion and excitement our conference is missing. The games at Cajun Field would be fun to say the least and the atmosphere would be ratcheted up a notch. We need those type of games regularly in all sports. That is what we are missing the most. I look at our home schedule for football and basketball and there just isn’t many games that get the average fan excited. You put a hated rival like LA Tech on there regularly and it is a good thing.
La Tech is annoying, but the school we need to worry about when it comes to holding us back in this state is also located off i-10 not bfe north LA. Just my opinion.
I do like the idea of a scheduling alliance for a bit, see how that goes and after they suffer a few years where they are then consider them. Big picture despite what they have attempted to do in the past it puts another regional rival on our schedule regularly, which is why I love the Southern Miss addition.
From a fan perspective regional rivalries will be what drives interest in the SBC going forward especially with all the realignment chaos everywhere else. It is what makes college athletics exciting!
