At least it's not a home game

Still sucks.

[RaginScotsman]

Yeah, it's an upgrade, but if it is not ESPN or the Deuce, it might as well be on the + for most people.

Still sucks.

I disagree.

It’s actually worse if all you have is the plus. Can’t watch it without a provider. Nuts.

ESPN+ just went up on their prices again and we are getting to see less Cajun games.

Who is your provider? I have YouTube TV and can watch the U through my espn app.

[KajunKrazy]

For personal reasons this is the best news I got today. This is awesome.

Coastal gets us at home after they play on a Thursday and gets 10 days off. USM played us off a buy. Arkansas state and south Al both play us after buy weeks.

Does the sunbelt conference hate the Cajuns???

If Foote was aware of this he’d be livid.

You bring up a valid point, but this kind of treatment is celebrated by our own administration. When it comes to conference matters, contract matters or state matters, we have a long history of volunteering to be the one to eat the S sandwich. After a while, those looking for guinea pigs simply know to select us without question.
