. . . I wonder what he called the game earlier this year between Minnesota and Louisiana . . .

A mid-major team getting beat by a major team

You guys are delusional if you think UL is "major" college football.. these games mean practically nothing in the world of college sports

. . . by your definition you have limited the teams playing major college football to about 15 teams . . .

. . . I said prove me wrong not make a couple silly comments . . . now I challenge you to prove me wrong with sources, stats and evidence . . . not a laf aroma . . .

not here to say cajuns don't play major college football. but i'm not of the belief that "sources stats and evidence" are really the crux of it. for example--if one sat. a.m. i wake up and think to myself i am in the mood for some major college football, and i scroll the guide, for a fact if i see akron v. ball state, my mind will NOT register that that there is a major college football game. i guess it's sorta like justice stewart's litmus test on the obscenity thing--"i know it when i see it."

. . . you make me laf often here, but not as much as when I read this post . . . besides, that would be a Tuesday night game . . .

"practically" means there are exceptions, which is why I propose a much harder schedule with 5 home games till perceptions like yours change.

If Louisiana were not major college football they would not have the option to schedule the best teams in the country. Whether they exercise that option is another matter.

As with most topics there is a spectrum to these things.

"Delusional" resides in not recognizing the spectrum and the options available.

Not all, but many

UL is just a couple of years removed from finishing in the top 25 of the college football polls and top 2 or 3 of all G5. Were they major college then? If not who were the major college G5s then?

Little League officials said the game between LaGrange, Ky., and Clinton County, Pa., drew 41,848 fans to Lamade Stadium. The old record of 40,000 had been set twice before, for the 1989 and 1990 championship games.

Not bad for Little League

On the hilI??? How many just on the hills? ....all games?, you are counting only Saturday u.s. final or world final on a weekend? How many on Tuesday morning between Africa and europe?

[R1Letterman]

The estimated attendance of 21,263 for the third-place game between Pearland, Texas, and Mexico broke the old record of 414,905 set in 2011 when Keystone from nearby Clinton County was here.

This record of 425,746 for 31 games.... (13k with Penn teams in)

I don't think you can compare a major college football game to a LL world series which is made of all kids. You are correct, kids aren't interested in the game. It is just a babysitting area so the parents can do their thing. Not a good look and especially bad on TV. Kids learn from their parents and teaching them proper attendance at games is needed. Make better use of the NEZ and create a major college atmosphere for those in attendance and for TV.

Literally, get off my lawn.

I was incorrect. After looking back over the listing of G5 teams, none are major college programs.
Your key word is finished.

Did they go to a decent bowl game where they played another major team? No. They played a 4 loss CUSA team in another Who Cares Bowl

When have they had the option to schedule the "best teams in the country"?

We can't get five home games against much harder (major) teams because they have zero interest to come here
