Texas State Game time Change

[CajunNation]

All about the opponents. Buffalo and USM should draw some fan interest I think.

Buffalo?

[CajunEXPRESS]

We do not have a North Carolina or Wake Forest near us. TSATB is not coming, Texas A&M is not coming. They are the closest to us. Who do you think would come here that will bring people and would excite our fans? You have to look at the geography, meaning colleges around a college, it is much different between us and an App. You have to have someone willing to come here.

And yet ULM, and LTUR have both had P5 games in the Maggard era.

. . . probably evidence enough right there why we should not do that . . .

Tailgating after the game is like having Dinner after the Date if you know what I mean.

The only way an 11 AM kickoff would draw a crowd would be if there is a huge concert after the game that starts at like 5 or 6. It has to lead up to something.

To play Any name brand middle to lower tier team would be a scheduling win...Missouri, Vandy, Louisville, Army, Navy, etc...

Houston would be to me the best option for both our fans and their fans. They would bring a nice crowd to Lafayette. I think Ole Miss or Mississippi State would as well, but again they would have to be willing to come here. Mississippi State would only go to the Dome.

Houston as a new Big 12 team would be a nice and probably realistic target . It’s been a while since they’ve played in Lafayette.

USM is the rivalry we need to get butts in the seats.

It’s unfortunate for attendance that this game is a midweek but it is what it is . Gotta make the best of it

They pretty much sold out for their midweek game against us last year. I believe the university might create incentives for student participation like USM did. Maggard alluded to it without saying it.

Giving geography/location of a school too much weight. While it's somewhat important, you can't tell me 30k plus wouldn't show up for a Vandy or a Louisville...

App has sold out 3 of their 6 home games already.
