2011 Football Schedule

WE SHOULD NEVER PLAY A D1AA
Weak scheduling........

What is your reasoning? Strength of schedule is the only benefit, and it is a benefit that we don't need right now. We need the visibility provided by conference championships and bowl games. If it is about attendance, two of our largest crowds in history came against McNeese and Southern. Also when you trade an FCS game for something else, you are usually trading home for away.

Jay Walker as saying you can look at last years conference schedule and flip the home-n-home.

Who ever UL played on the road they will be playing at home and the reverse is true as well.

We need to play the games that we schedule... and play them well.

50% of the issues creating "schedule shaping" in the minds of some fans are attributable to the way we played OOC games during the Bustle era. It is time to stomp FCS schools we play and become far more dangerous against top 50 teams we schedule. That is the root of the issue with our program... not the schedule.

As for the opening game with instate FCS programs on a rotational basis (as workable as possible)... I agree. A problem of having that on a forever basis is that we are a target team for large programs to play as their opening season game... for large money. I really don't think we have as much perfect OOC schedule shaping capability as we all wish for.

We need to play the games that we schedule... and play them well.

Good points...although our goal longer term (IMO) should be to play only ONE top tier BCS program per year...with the other OOC games being against 2nd tier BCS opponents (Okie State, Vandy) and other mid-majors. Another focus in scheduling should be to get as many deals as possible as we are currently in with Okie State (home/away and 3rd game money).

Can we please get 6 home games!!! I would love to see my Cajuns at Cajun Field 6 times per year!
I also think with a new coach, "WE" as fans need to change our attitude on this board. I feel we can beat OSU as we did for a half this year. We had that game in the bag if it were not for Justin Blackmon and no coaching adjustments in the second half. We want winners, but it starts with our attitude first. Give Coach Hud, his staff and these kids a fair shot before we start setteling for loses. As much as we hate LSU they have it right over thier. Saban changed their culture. They feel as though they should will every game and we should also.
No matter the ranking of the other team, they can lose on any given day. Like Michigan vs. App. St. or VA. Tech vs. James Madison. We have to start believing in these kids and this program more. THAT IS WHY WE PLAY THE GAME!!! Geaux Cajuns!

if we win 7 games for 5 straight years, we have a problem, i'm sorry if we go 7-5 in marks first two years, the bar needs to be raised. if it becomes normal for 7 wins, then we need to expect more in the future, always trying to get better. IMO

I was contemplating firing Hudspeth following his first loss, just to make a point. Now, I believe we should fire him right now... and prove that we have raised our expectations.

_ Didn't they almost beat us last time we played???? Not sure but remember one time it was close!!! _

we won 20-0...with goofball coaching...

Sarcasm Win!

I nominate you for AD. Apparently you could get these teams that we have offered to play home and home with for years and continually refuse to schedule us to make the trip to Lafayette. It is your job. No weak schedules from you now. I want to see all of the those teams on the schedule. I am sure with a phone call from you they will be standing in line to schedule a game. It is obvious that Farmer is too lazy to make the call.

Finally someone with vision!

We are who we aspire to be. If we don't win the Big 12 championship in 3 years, Hudspeth must GO!!!

Hell, if he doesn't mention separation in his introduction Monday Walker should grab the mike and fire him on the spot.
