    G5 or FCS? Discuss

    Didn't want to hijack the 2020 schedule thread...

    Obviously our fan base is not interested in turning out to watch NSU, Southern, Grambling, and or other SWAC teams in the rent-a-wins (excuse me NSU, I know and remember). Does our HC get to demand an exhibition game to warm up? Does than even matter if a money game is played first? Does entertainment value for our fans matter?

    STOP playing these lame ass teams just to pacify our HC and his unreasonable demands. Doesn't it mean more to actually make money than to pay a ridiculous amount to see bad bands move around for 10 minutes?

    Since our Admin seems content to be a Southland holdover anyway, let's start playing ULM and LaLaff EVERY YEAR on an alternating basis home and home. HELLO! They aren't going anywhere. We win 5 bowl games in a row and we aren't either.

    Let's get deals going with them and other G5s that will guarantee 6 home games every year. Fill in with some FCS team until a schedule is in place for the future. ENOUGH of this SWAC crap. I'm SICK of it. It's NOT football. I want to sell tickets.

    I would much rather play ULM or ULL than SWAC or Ball State or UConn. Home and home is fine with me too.
    Have you considered those Dogs?

    I totally agree.

    UTSA and ULM can get Memphis at home, but we can’t because we have a lame ass AD who doesn’t have a clue. If I didn’t know better I would think he was trying to destroy our football program.

    We might as well. Most fans are intent on us staying stuck in Southland hell forever so let's just embrace it.

    Why is it so tough to get BYU, SMU, Cincy, Toledo, Memphis, or similar.

    Because we have nobody in a leadership position willing to open a relationship with them or anyone else worth scheduling.


    Personally, I wouldn't mind having some games at UCONN or BC.

    I'm sure BYU won't talk to us because we burned that bridge on them in the previous regime.

    The rest is all on Tommy-Boy. He is all about making easy deals rather than good deals.

    Says a lot that we could probably rebuild that bridge, but I bet we haven’t even called to find out.

    I would definitely come in to these games @ The Joe. Beating the daylights out of Northeast is an old-time Tech delicacy.

    Tech athletics are spiraling slowly but surely into the class of ‘who cares’. All of our sports are exactly the same with the fractional exception of softball. They all tease at being relevant for a glimpse and then poof it’s turns to crap in our hands. This stuff can’t all be coincidence, there has to be a fundamental reason. The only common denominator is McClelland. He’s smalltime, keep it simple, keep it safe.

    He needs to be somewhere else

    We have SMU & Tulsa H/H coming up
    We gave Baylor & NC State 2-for-1 coming up.

    I’d rather us get Houston, Memphis, Cincinnati & Tulane.

    I don’t mind a long-term UL-L contract like basketball.

    I think ULM would need to be a short term. Last time we played in Monroe, it was around 15000 attendance (don’t quote me).

    I’ve started this thread before in pay area.

    My question is regarding the positive of playing FCS teams. I can't find any other than it being an easy win for our HC.

    I wasn't at the Grambling "Dehydration Classic" game this year at the Joe but it didn't look like an easy win on tv! I'm tired of watching this crap too. When the best thing that can be promoted about these games is - "Show Up -it's going to be a great Halftime Show!", you know you are in trouble.

    I have always been for us playing home and home with ULL. I think it makes tremendous sense financailly, even though I know we travel better to Lafayette than they travel to Ruston. How much money are we paying Grambling to drive less than two miles play at the Joe??
    At this point in life I'm now over the fact that playing ULM helps them more than it helps us. There is no amount of help that program can receive that will ever make them competitive with us in recruiting or facilities but we can make some extra money off the gate. A two for one short term deal would not hurt us. They can also deal with the fact that we will probably put more butts in the seats at a game in Malone Stadium than they will. The 1980's are a long time ago for the under 50 alumni.

    Apathy has hit an all time low when I see several people talking about playing ULM and thinking that’s a good thing. Gag!
