We do have some input because we can make scheduling requests to the WAC. Then WAC sends us a tentative schedule for us to ok, and we are allowed to work with the other WAC schools to switch games around if all parties are ok with it. Then the WAC sends out a finalized conference schedule.Quote:

They might set aside rooms for visiting teams/fans. Grambling has a home game Nov 3 vs. Jackson State. I can't find any other Grambling home dates.Quote:

Sleep Inn says they won't take reservations until all the football schedules are released in the area.
Its been that way for awhile. I was previously told the local hotels have blocked out all the fall weekends until the schedules are released. I was able to book the first and last games for the Hampton.Quote:

The real head scratcher here is the USU game on Nov 17.
Why are we playing on quarter break when Dec 1 is available ?????
Part of the deal to move last years LSU Bama game to primetime last year was to make it a night game this year.
Good question. Both of us are open on December 1. Our guys will also be focused on finals and staying eligible for our bowl game that entire week before the Utah State game.Quote:

This is not a bad home schedule the way it is now. But it would be dang near perfect if we could get the USU game moved. (At least from this fan's perspective).
Odds of a game on December 1st being on tv would be kinda slim considering it is conference championship week. I bet the WAC learned their lesson last year with our game at Nevada and want to give our game vs Utah State the best chance to be picked up by some national broadcast.Quote:
