Look I was discussing this with an App State friend of mine recently. This is the downfall of being a better than average G5 football team. If we were terrible or below average, the only national television games we would get would be when we play the upper tier of the SBC games other than that we would be on Saturday but finishing at or near .500. Being the App, Coastal, UL and even to some extent traditionally strong Arkansas State, they are going to try to put us on national TV when they can. The more you win, the more you get screwed by ESPN because ESPN owns when you play if you are the better of the SBC teams. I hate that we play on Tuesdays, Wednesday's, Thursday's, Saturdays @ 11 AM, but I love this allot more than playing at 7PM on Saturday nights and being 4-8. or playing on Thursday night because we are playing Coastal or App but we are 4-8. Does it suck, yes, is it better than the alternative, 1000%. As a fan base, we need to make sure we show up whenever, wherever and whomever we play. You do that enough and you will start getting the respect we need. Programs like ours, to get recognized, need to play these games and get some of those people who are not familiar with UL, familiar with UL and if it takes a midweek or Saturday morning game to do it, SO F'N BE IT.
