Louisiana Can't Escape the Will Wade Saga

Lsu plays ulm and slu next year. I guess they have something to gain in those.

“We do what’s best for LSU.”

Yeah, by scheduling two teams that we spanked this past season.

Apparently Will Wade addressed these games in the media today. Mentioned they both had decent seasons this year and should be strong in their conferences next year. As far as the Cajuns go, he said he would be amenable to playing them at some point in the future. He added that things need to cool down first. Therefore, we may play year after next. That is plenty of time for a cooling off period.

You are correct in comparing each team's 2017-2018 RPI. But what about when you consider the 5 on 5 OOC teams against that infamous SEC 3 year rolling average RPI scheduling rule?

I think its bull____ also. I was just commenting on the previous post that those teams mentioned were the same as the OOC teams we played and they're not.

10-4. I didn’t do the math. I was just making fun of LSU’s (SEC) 3 year rolling average RPI threshold for scheduling OOC programs. I figured, but did not check, that our 5 and their 5 mentioned didn’t differ in a big way over a span of RPI. I guess Clemson is probably the only OOC opponent that stacks up against anyone. But Ole Miss and Iowa have been strong in the past. I didn’t look to see if this year was a huge break from their past 3. No worries.

Why do you want to kill our football program?

Let them go.....sigh.....no comment

Also, LSU looks to be playing ULM in December

With an RPI 225 this year and a 3 year rolling RPI of 160 if I'm looking at Warren Nolan correctly

Thier 3 year rolling prior to this season was 174. (125+104+294)/3

For next season it is 208. (104+294+225)/3

Will Wade = mommy’s little boy

So Will Wade is either profoundly dumb when it comes to simple math or

He’s a liar

Now, he could very well be both??

Hmmmmmm?

Untethered, football will know no limits. This isn't the 1980's

You are correct this is not the 80s. The 80s had many independents to schedule football games with. Today it would virtually impossible for us to have a decent schedule as an Indy. As an Indy you could win 8 games and stay home as you would have no bowl tie in. Kids love conference champions and all conference accolades, none of that possible. This program today going independent, would be the death penalty for football. Ask any AD or coach out there, if they want to be an independent, if you don't believe me. Watch nmsu the next few years if you want to see what being independent looks like.

The connectivity in the 80's limited scheduling to who you knew among some 80+ D1 teams at snail mail pace.

The connectivity today let's you instantly negotiate among almost 140 D1 schools.
