LUSportsFan Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 While I'm in the "minimize scheduling sub DI teams" camp, it might make sense to make an exception and try to schedule a home game with NCAA DII East Central University out of Ada, OK for a home game next year; particularly if we are going to have ANY sub DI programs on next year's schedule. Next season marks the 50th anniversary for Provost Umphrey (then Cardinal Stadium). East Central and Lamar played the inaugural game on 9/19/1964. With Grambling scheduled as the opening home game, that's out, but there are still some dates available. An alternative might be to try to slot ECU in on 9/20, 50 years and one day after the stadium's opening contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cplatt Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 We need to try to goet Houston on a schedule. That could be a good marketing scheme to show Houston kids that we have a football team. Maybe even Rice. Good way to get exposure in the area. Cplatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I would like to see it I wouldn't hold my breath with us playing A&M the week before...the 13th will probably be a bye week or a D-II school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUSportsFan Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Does anyone have the new SLC division break down?...I've seen it I thought but can't find anything I don't think there will be a division breakdown unless things have changed since last February. Below is a link from Southland.org discussing the conference competition changes. In football, the 2013 schedule does not include any additions, as the athletic directors approved that slate in April 2011. Abilene Christian, Houston Baptist and Incarnate Word will make their Southland football debuts in the 2014 football season. That's when the 11 sponsoring teams will begin playing eight conference games, randomly missing two league opponents in the regular season. Then, in 2015, 10 of the 11 teams will play a ninth league contest, missing a single opponent. Houston Baptist, which is just beginning a Division I football program, will continue to play eight conference games and miss two opponents, at least through the 2016 season. http://www.southland.org/news/2013/2/7/GEN_5672.aspx?path=general For example, I recall from another thread that SFA will not be on our conference football schedule for four years. Looked it up. Comment was on 9/23/2013 Red Zone Sports Talk Show Pod Cast thread under the BRI Radio tab. 2014 schedule---- Week 1---Grambling Week 2---At Texas A&M Week 3 or 4---TBD (Either Week 3 or 4 will be a BYE Week) Week 5-12 SLC Conference Games Lamar will not play SFA the next 4 seasons in Football. This was all verified by Coach Ray Woodard on the Red Zone Sports Talk Show tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachacola Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 9/27 is only open for lamar to play sfa!!! Playing SFA as a non-conference game at home would be nice but they have already finalized their schedule and that's their open date.

coachacola Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Looks like the home game against Grambling has been moved to Sep 27th. http://forum.the5thquarter.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16098 I have my doubts about this because Lamar plays 8 conference games and the 27th should be a conference game.

coachacola Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Nicholls released their schedule and Lamar plays there on oct 18th. Woodard said last week that Lamar opens with Grambling at home then goes to A&M. He said that some deals fell through so they are not done with the schedule. They may play 12 games again this year.

I'm assuming that menas LU is playing at McNeese on 10/25. That's 11 games but they do have the option of playing a 12th game on 9/13 I believe.

LUSportsFan Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I was trying to back into the 10/25 date for the McNeese game by eliminating their knowns. Decided I was too lazy to do the back in search. Guess I'll just wait until our schedule is released. In response to an inquiry I sent last week on another matter, I did hear from one of the AD folks that the mailings for last year's season ticket holders should be mailed the end of this week. I'm hoping any finalization of the schedule doesn't delay the mailing. There have been a lot of programs that have been selling season tickets for a month or so. I really hope there is a big push this year to get people out. Games are a lot more fun with a lot of fans in the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
