How many open Out of Conference spots y'all have left?

That will give us 3 remaining ooc spots yet to fill. Coach Broadway has stated that he only wants to play 1 FBS Division school per season. I hope we can get at least 1 Southland conference school on our schedule...my preference would be McNeese (preferably) played in Grambling to help boost our season ticket sales. Coach Broadway is from North Carolina so he might want a game in that region... maybe App State or even his former employer North Carolina Central. I just hope we get a chance to play some of the teams currently participating in the playoffs...but I'm sure Coach Broadway ain't looking to make that schedule to heavy with FBS heavyweights.

One thing you can count on is that Grambling will have a pretty good OOC schedule. xthumbsupx

I agree, I am sure they will...

Heard last night that Southern has had conversations with an SLC school -- not sure Southern's AD was that willing to do it...

Who? Let the cat out the bag. They have one open spot left as far as I know.

Do you guys travel to FAMU this year or will they come to Mumford? The nearest (driving wise) SLC school would be Southeastern so that could be a possibility. Maybe they are gonna go ahead and "return" the game to McNeese this year... hopefully that will mend the fences between those two schools (somewhat).

I look for SU to be a strong favorite next seasons...the jags got a lot of key players coming back.

I think FAMU comes to BR and we go to Nashville to play Tennessee State. I wouldn't mind playinh SLU.

Thanks... that picture appears to be during the Mid-60's time frame when I first fell in Love with the Tigers. Although I love myself from Grambling, I can't take credit as being the #1 fan in the family. My mother loves herself some Grambling. Although she's not a high school grad, she made up her mind early that her 3 kids would graduate from Grambling. I can remember while I was undergrad, my two older sisters drove 98 miles (one way) while working on their Master's Degrees in Education. My mother alway accompanied them and sat in the classroom while they did the coursework. xthumbsupx
