2011 Football Schedule

[ULouisiana]

2011 Football Non Conference

From what I can tell, I believe we have the following non conference road games:

Oklahoma State
Kent State
Arizona

We need 1 home game non conference.

Who will it be?

I could be totally wrong, but isn't it Nicholls?

That is correct. The non-conference home game is Nicholls State.

That sucks

_ That sucks _

But they travel well. At least 135 fans.

[cajun4life]

Regardless of who the coach will be we should be 2-2 with that OOC schedule.

Nicholls State huh?

Wow. Hurry up and renew your season tickets. What a treat!!

I'm not sure we ought to be talking about other teams fans when it comes to traveling. I was at the Ole Miss game last night and there were at least 80 Cajun fans there!!!!! We ought to be able to do better than that regardless of the record. Ater all Oxford is only a 6 hour drive from Lafayette.

I think the 6 losses we had going into the game were a much bigger deterant than the six hour drive.

I'm not saying that you made this statement, but playing D1aa opponents OOC rather than BCS schools is what a large segment of this board have been screaming for. We also get the response form the causal fan in the area who states they will come see a game against an opponent that we can beat. Now when we do it people _____ and say no one wants to see UL play (in this case) Nicholls. Of course, if that d1aa win helps make us bowl elligible as may very well be the case for moanroe this year with their 1 point win over SLU I bet no one will be complaining.

It seems like scheduling is a no-win situation for the admin.

The fact of the matter is that we need a healthy dose of both when scheduling. Next year's schedule is not as visually intimidating when looking at it on paper. Kent State and Nicholls are obvious winnable games and the OSU and Arizona games, while more talented than we are, those teams are not the cream of the Pac-10, SEC or Big 12. Both will have likely lost much from this years' teams which have both had nice seasons. That is the type of mix that cajun fans should see as workable. It still sucks that we have 3 OOC road games but that's just because we have to return the Kent St. game this year. As a new coach entering, i'd be fairly optimistic about my chances to have success before conference next year.
