Do McNeese and La Tech play every year?

Do McNeese and La Tech play every year?

I am not certain, but I would imagine they do. Easy travel, reasonably good competition, why would they not?

Do McNeese and La Tech play every year?

There is absolutely no reason why Louisiana, LaTech, LSU, McNeese, SE, UNO, Southern should not play each other regularly in OC games across all most sports.

Why Southern?

[CajunVic]

Why Southern?

They do compete in the diamond sports and drive attendance in football with the human juke box.

Note I didn’t necessarily say every school in every sport.

Hope that provides clarity.

Why Southern?

Indeed, why Southern? Their current RPi in Softball is 276, and in Baseball it is 279.
Certainly there is no incentive for Louisiana, LSU, LaTech, McNeese or SLU to play them in stick and ball sports.

aren't we smart when we pick a single point of evaluation for one single year with complete historical data

a down year

didn't they go into alex box and beat the tigers this year

you can beg to differ with my opinion, however I will point out that my opinion is just as valid as yours

Good bit of teams we want to win are winning. I know at this point in the season it doesn't move the needle that much, but any bit towards a regional helps.

9-3 heading into Thursday for the teams we want to win this week.
