Details on BVDV Interview on The Tim Fletcher Show

[HogDawg]

I don't think any C-USA games should be in Shreveport. All should be in Ruston. Shreveport games should be against schools formally known as AQ schools, both football and basketball. I thought I remember reading that the conference would assist us in scheduling these teams. And I agree, the Shreveport events should be heavily promoted and "managed" as premiere major events for north Louisiana.

Yep.

[champion110]

Sounds like we all agree that it should be a non-conference aq game. Let's face it, the teams that we are looking forward to traveling to do not travel WELL themselves. UNT is not going to travel well. SMU didn't, Rice didn't, and Tulsa didn't. We have been in the conference with all three of them before and learned a lesson. I don't think UNT is going to do much better and Tulane can't even get people to go to games in New Orleans. It needs to be TCU, A&M, Baylor, etc...


And, kudo's to BVDV for doing what it took! I love the statement that there was NO Plan B!

Well, the Shreveport games shouldn't be Monet games either. We need to consistently win these games if we ever hope to win over Shreveport.

"Money game teams" are not going to play in Shreveport. This will be middle of the pack teams from SEC, Big 12 & Big East. All winnable games.

Trust me, nobody would confuse anything in Shreveport with Monet.

[70TECHGRAD]

Trust me, nobody would confuse anything in Shreveport with Monet.

Or money...either!

[PawDawg]

Might as well do what Jim Oakes did a few times. Play the games in S'Port while school is not is session. The ONLY chance we have at a decent attendance over there are vs. BCS regional teams. D.R. isn't going to allow us to play any home and home series vs. BCS since he will demand at least 2 money games. Get on the phone with...

- BYU
- Baylor
- Texas Tech
- TCU
- Oklahoma St.
- Ole Miss

I think most of us agree that Miss.St. will never come back this way, but if they don't buy the contract out they would work.

The Aggies like to come to Shreveport and they travel well. Oklahome State was a good one. I wonder if we could get Kansas State. They travel well.

Home and Home with Arkansas would be ideal for Shreveport. It is drivable for Arkansas fans, stadium would be filled.

Their deal with ULM is up this year.

Anyone think they would give us a similar deal with Shreveport being our home game?

No, but they would if we called Little Rock our home.

Texas A&M did travel very well to their first two games in the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament in Bossier City in 2011.

Kansas State did do a home-and-home with UL-Lafayette in 2008 and 2009, so they aren't out of the question for a home-and-home with Tech.

Mizzou?

Kansas too. They called for a home and home one time and we sold them a money game.

Arkansas is out. They don't have room for away games with 8 home games and an SEC Sked.

[counselingdawg]

If we merge, you better get used ot playing regular games in Shreveport
