Historically the AD doesn’t do the MBB schedule. Y’all can bet your bottom dollar he sets the tone, budget, and expectations.
Unfortunately some of you guys keep thinking THIS year,last year, us. Think conference, strategic five years goals.
We don’t need a wholesale change in scheduling. UL needs to change two or three games a year. The SBC each needs to follow suit. Doing this would make a big difference in our champs chances.
Sure I love beating teams by 37. It’s just not going to help us 3 games in March, and hopefully 3 games into the Big Dance.
Again for a few knuckleheads I don’t dislike Bob Marlin. I don’t hope he fails, just the opposite I hope he incredibly successful. He’s been here most a decade. He seems to have had a large sample of mediocrity. I do want better, and right now his mediocre career is tolarated. Let’s see if 2017/18 results in better? Until it does I’m not sold on the guy. Weak scheduling, never finishing in top two regular season, one top three, isn’t a resume I’d hire, why’d I want to keep renewing that.
While everyone bashes the schedule and everyone has the cure all, none of us are taking budgets into consideration.
What is the difference between a road game at UNO and a road game at NMSU? About 30K. Since we're dropping UNO, and McNeese and Nicholls, let's multiply it by at least two.
UNO, Nicholls and McNeese are a bus trip and chik fil a after the game. Don't think for a second this doesn't enter into it..
Beating local/regional schools can help in recruiting as well. And before anyone jumps my SH!) about SLU/McNeese and UNO and we don't want to be recruiting against those schools. Guess who we got Bryce Washington from........That's right the only other D1 offer he had at the time was SLU. Guess who we outrecruited to get PJ Hardy, that is right McNeese.
Then you play a couple more road money games.
Kill 2 birds with one stone. Pay bills and boost RPI.
Heck, we just might win one, and I'll guarantee you we'll be a better club come tourney time.
Then, you might have a little left over to purchase a good home opponent.![]()
I have no problem with the schedule except for D2 games. I would prefer to go on the road against. Not to say go out and schedule Kentucky and Kansas but lower level Power conference schools.
