Louisiana To Play Wake Forest in 2024

[Turbine]

no

I would suggest four but that would lead to 4 home games.

Louisiana will HAVE TO quit scheduling soft if they ever hope to be in the playoffs.

[Turbine]

Agreed. NO further explanation needed.

Right?

Whats to explain, if they are incapable of negotiating, there's nothing to explain.

LOL

He says immediately following his "assumptions" post.

Not that I had a problem with it.

Exactly, a blanket statement without any stated basis or assumptions when needed is virtually useless. Let me take that back, it is useless.

1 in-state FCS, 1 regional FBS rival, 1 P4 payday game and 1 P4 contract series.

Some years you have 5 home games. Some years you have 6 home games, and at least once every 4 or 5 years we have a P4 home game.

"when needed" some readers are more needy than others.

Don't be needy, if you can help it.

This may well have been a three party negotiation which in the end got all three what they wanted and in a better position than each was in prior to the negotiations. For discussions sake, possibly the following happened:

1. Mich St wanted a different opponent or maybe needed the date as a result of conference demands and negotiated an out for free conditioned upon Louisiana finding a bigger payday somewhere else.

2. Louisiana found a bigger payday at WV and probably a better opponent in a better weather place for a bigger payday.

3. WV filled the spot with a D1 opponent that may increase the competition on its schedule as opposed to a non D 1 opponent and may be paying about the same.

While these are all assumptions and are with no information from The Bird, it does put out a scenario why each may have gotten better then what the had in the end.

Can’t wait to play Wake Vorest

Its fine playing Wake. Will have to look up the difference between a demon and deacon demon since its never occurred to me before now. Just like Wake fans should look up the difference between a Cajun and Ragin Cajun!

[RedBug58]

In hunting season Cajuns really Wake up the Forest.
(Just trying for a little Turbine humor there)

[RedBug58]

Not quite up to his standard though.

Thanks! I was wondering who WV is?

WV? Who's playing WV?

Agenda's usually result in statements which lack all necessarily included information for a fair assessment.

No agenda, just a question....
