2025 Football Schedule is complete with MickeyNeese

Why do we go to UAB again before they come here? Same with la tech. Are we having to give teams whatever they want to get them on the schedule. How many years of success do we need before we can be shot callers?

I believe with Tech, it's because they came here first during the last 1 for 1 arrangement. So now it's flipped.

Personally I’m not a fan of the FCS game. I get it, but would much rather 2 home non conference G5s on the schedule.

If you do that, there will be years where we have only 5 home games

[ZoomZoom]

That 2026 road game in Ruston should be the home fcs game. Just sayin'

We should enjoy the trip to Ruston. They’re a progressive, up and coming city. Here’s a picture of a new strip mall rumored to be in Ruston.

Worth it.

One can't shun revenue without a replacement of those $$$'s. Some of these are our biggest money makers of the year.

A home FCS game will not generate the money a P5 road game can.

[CajunSaint08]

Not required but that is Dr. Maggard's thought process for a perfect schedule for us.

1 Home FCS Opponent
1 Home G5 Opponent
1 Road G5 Opponent
1 Road P5 Opponent

Would be nicer if we could get 1 Home P5 instead.

3 road games and 1 return would do it.

2 for money, 1 for a heads up.

I agree. A bone every once in a while. I do like the current setup for most years. I think it’s makes for a manageable winnable schedule. But maggard not even considering a home p5,if that’s the case, sucks.

Miss state at USA
Baylor at ULM

Miss state and ole miss have good alumni numbers in this area. We should be trying to get these home games. Even if it costs a few mill out of pocket.

[RaginDave]

We could do it, but we would have to take a 2 for 1 and Dr. Maggard doesn't want to do that. That is the issue. The only way a P5 comes here is in a 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 deal. Until we are willing to do that, then we will not get a P5 here.

And Cajun Field will remain half empty

You could have said half FULL . . .

UAB was kind enough to schedule us after during the COVID year. They didn't have to do that. AND, Billy wanted the game on the road as he thought it would benefit the team down the road.

So no, we don't have to bend.

Concerning Tech, the last series started in Lafayette. This series is starting in Ruston.

[JayWalker]

Worth it.

No it isn't. We aren't ULM.

Almost no one in the FBS is playing only five home games.

[CajunVic]

The only time the grass appears to be greener on the other side is when you paint it with inaccurate facts.

That is what happens here many times when posters have agenda's.
