[McNeese72]

Of the games I can mention, we have Portland St. and Southern Utah coming in this year.

I've heard rumors that we may have signed with a contract with one I-A team and are negotiating with another. Also, we talking to some other teams including some Div II teams for a possible another home game if I-AA goes to a 12 game season.

Where is all this talk of I-AA going to 12 games? It was stopped last year and it'd be stopped again. I just don't see it happening.

Thanks for SUU and PSU updates...

ONLY THREE FREAKING HOME GAMES?!?! That has got to be a mistake TT, whoever made this schedule needs to be fired! :mad: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :splat: :splat: :splat: :splat: :splat: :splat: :splat: :splat: :splat: :splat: :splat: :splat: :splat: :splat: :splat: xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx xidiotx

i don't think that is your COMPLETE schedule, as it only has eight games listed...

[TexasTerror]

Exactly. Eight games listed. The remainder could be home games! We've probably got atleast five home dates next year (3 SLC, 1 Div II and an OOC foe)...

[McNeese72]

It is supposed to be brought up at the NCAA meetings in April.

Doc

[TexasTerror]

It is supposed to be brought up at the NCAA meetings in April.

If approved at the NCAA meetings in April, it wouldn't go into effect until 2007. No chance I-AA gives their squads a few months to fill a new hole in their schedules, especially since Div IIs will be locked and such...

[Cat79]

I believe we have Southern Utah on our schedule in 2006 rather than South Dakota State. The South Dakota State game is in 2007 if I am not mistaken.

This looks more accurate.

[golionsgo]

The Southeastern Louisiana schedule is incorrect. The following is UNNOFFICIAL as far as I know and the dates may be off, but I believe this is what our schedule will be...

Aug. 31.....HENDERSON STATE
Sept. 9.....at Southern Mississippi
Sept. 16....JACKSONVILLE

[TexasTerror]

Thanks golionsgo...

I thought you fellas were playing someone from the SWAC as they like playing you guys, but I guess you guys got too good for them...

[McNeese72]

We'll see.

[TexasTerror]

We'll see.

It ain't gonna happen atleast that quick. The NCAA passed it and gave the I-A folks a year because this is football scheduling. This is not McNeese72's t-ball league at the local YMCA we're talking about! Scheduling in April or May for a whole division of football for game in August, Sept or October (more likely) is unheard of...

Sam is looking at two Div IIs already. If you throw a 12th game in for 2006, we'd probably have to get a third I-A or third Div II. It'd be ugly...

[McNeeserocket]

I believe that Nicholls has Southern University on their schedule. Of course they are going to Southern first in a two year deal for a home and home series.

[TypicalTribe]

Wow. Looking at those schedules it's pretty clear that there is a good chance the SLC auto-bid winner next year could have less than 7 DI wins again. Two I-As and a DII on the schedule make it tough to hit the number.

[TexasTerror]

Just think, TxSt almost didn't get enough to qualify if they didn't escape an OT game against SHSU or if they couldn't knock off a Div II Delta St team that pushed them to the limits...

Going to be a tough season this year for SLC. It should be interesting. I hope we can get some more I-A wins! :)

[McNeese75]

:confused: We only have 8 games listed and I doubt the other three games will be I-A or DII games. Of course if everything continues as in the past, we will not know who those games will be until the summer.

[TexasTerror]

UCA just added Southern Arkansas, a Div II foe as their homecoming game...

Hey, what's with the attitude? I'm just telling you what I've heard. It may be right, it may be wrong. A lot of I-AA teams want the 12th game bad.

Like I said, we'll see.

Our schedule, from what i hear, is essentially done already this year. But I've seen many a year that we are still looking for a game in April.

Doc

[McNeese72]

:confused: We only have 8 games listed and I doubt the other three games will be I-A or DII games. Of course if everything continues as in the past, we will not know who those games will be until the summer.

We all will know within a month or so.

[TexasTerror]

Yes, but no way a 12th game is added for 2006 if it does come to pass...

[blackfordpu]

TT, what are the chances that we get a game against another I-AA powerhouse like UM in 2004? Those are the games we need to schedule.

[TexasTerror]

I'm not really sure. Financial considerations are always brought in. If you think about it, we haven't played anyone too far out. Missouri St isn't too far, that they could bus there. Northern Colorado and UTEP were the the farthest west outside of Montana...

I want to say we're trying to work something out with a SWAC school...

[X-Factor]

:confused: We only have 8 games listed and I doubt the other three games will be I-A or DII games. Of course if everything continues as in the past, we will not know who those games will be until the summer.

NDSU's AD is currently in talks with McNeese. We have 3 games left to fill, and 2 of them must be home games.

[McNeese72]

Okay, you can add South Florida to McNeese's schedule. It made a Tampa newspaper this morning.

Doc

[TexasTerror]

McNeese vs USF, eh?

Has a Big East team ever played an SLC? Didn't McNeese play Miami when they were in the Big East?

[McNeese72]

McNeese vs USF, eh?

We played Miami in 2000 when they had Santana Moss, Dave Campbell, Clinton Portis, the big tightend (forgot his name) and umpteen jillion other future NFL draft picks on their team. Don't remember what conference they were in then. They were probably the best Div I-A team that McNeese has ever played (talentwise, at least).

Campbell ended up with a concussion and Moss a sprained ankle in our game and then they went up to Washington and lost the next week. I think that might have been their only loss in the regular season.

McNeese in fact has already begun negotiations with a couple of schools for a 12th game in expectation of the measure passing.

It will be allowed, but will your school be ready?

[McTailGator]

:confused: We only have 8 games listed and I doubt the other three games will be I-A or DII games. Of course if everything continues as in the past, we will not know who those games will be until the summer.


McNeese will open the season vs South Florida in Tampa on September 2nd.

That game, along with our 6 conference games, USU and PSU will make it 9 for us, with 2 more contracts in waiting.

Look for an anouncement real soon.

[McTailGator]

Yes, but no way a 12th game is added for 2006 if it does come to pass...


Wrong...


McNeese has a contract pending the April decision.

[McTailGator]

TT, what are the chances that we get a game against another I-AA powerhouse like UM in 2004? Those are the games we need to schedule.

You will get McNeese in October.

This is crazy. I hope all of the schools are prepared for this...

Didn't it fail once?

[McTailGator]

It will not fail this time.

That is why it's coming back for a 2nd vote. The AD's want it. And most NEED it.


The best thing is, it's pissing off the MAC and SubBelt schools because I-AA's are getting the BCS paydays.

That alon is reason for us to play a 12th IMO.

[TexasTerror]

I opened up the discussion over at KatFans.com. I think it's going to make all SLC teams play two Div I-A opponents, which is what SHSU was already doing as is (Baylor/UTEP in 2003, Houston/TxTech in 2005, SMU/Texas in 2006)...

Your going to have to make the road trip for the game against SELA next year. Come hang out in NOLA and then we'll head out to Hammond. We'll see what my situation is by then...

McNeese will play 2 I-A's next year AND have a 6 game home schedule.

[TexasTerror]

Is McNeese going to play ULL? The reason I ask is something your AD has said:

On scheduling UL Lafayette in football
We were dissappointed that an agreement was not reached to play football against ULL in the 2005 season. With the coming change of administration at ULL, we are optomistic that the series can be renewed. This series would benefit all in Southwest Louisiana, and we will strive to get this accomplished for the future.

Not in 06.

Both of our schedules or full (they have 12).

We will play a "yet to be determined I'a" and a Big East as our 2 I-A's in 06.

We will also have 6 home games.

[TexasTerror]

We will play a MAC and a Big East as our 2 I-A's in 06. We will also have 6 home games.

Which MAC squad are y'all looking at playing? Western Michigan? Toledo?

Can't wait!!!!:hurray:

[TexasTerror]

So in the SLC, each team has two I-A games except Nicholls St (no one knows their OOC), TxSt (only one - Kentucky) and UCA...

[McNeese72]

Can't wait!!!!:hurray:

Hopefully, they will be real home games next season. :hurray:

[TexasTerror]

Hopefully, they will be real home games next season. :hurray:

I think we're all praying for that! If any of you guys swing by NOLA this fall, drop me a line. I'm going to try to make some SLC games in Thibodaux and Hammond this coming year across the board once I get settled in...

[McTailGator]

I think I may have said more than I should have already.


I'm gong to edit it it.

[TexasTerror]

Does anyone have any idea who Nicholls is playing?

Seems our conference is limiting the Div II foes. Brent on Bobcatfans said they got two Div II games this year. I don't know how that's possible unless he considered UCA as a Div II foe. You'd think the Cats would've learned after almost not getting that seven game mark and not having the auto-bid especially since everyone is good for one SLC loss...

[Dallas Demon]

Unless something has changed we will be playing Ole Miss, Kansas, AND Baylor next year.

Kansas-Away
Ole Miss-Away
Baylor-Away
Nicholls St.-Away
SFA-Away
SLU-Away
UNI-Home
Arkansas Monticello-Home
Texas St.-Home
SHSU-Home
McNeese-Home
TBA for 12th game if passed

I actually like the idea of TxSt scheduling two D-II schools. Assuming UCA is one of the D-IIs were talking about. The schedule should give the team enough playing experience to give the new starters some playing experience, and give the team as a whole time to gell once conference starts.

This is where Sam Houston went wrong this past year IMO. You guys had a talented team, but to tough a schedule early on. What Northwestern State is doing is just plain crazy. No I-AA team should play more than one I-A, much less 3.

UCA is not counted as a Div II school next year. If you guys are playing two Div II schools, you could be in for trouble again as I think your good for two SLC losses next year based on scheduling and I don't think you'll be #1. Would be tough to get into playoffs with those two Div II wins not counting and a more than likely I-A loss, though not certain.

aside from the UCA comment, didn't you say the same EXACT thing about us this year?

[TexasTerror]

aside from the UCA comment, didn't you say the same EXACT thing about us this year?

And did it not come close to biting you in the tailend? I recall a tough OT win over SHSU. FYI, UCA is counted as a Div II game after all, so you got two Div II games, one I-A game and a much tougher road schedule than you had last year.

I honestly am concerned the SLC is not going to have a multi-bid next year, instead possibly having a champ that lacks seven Div I wins, but will get to go anyway...

[McNeese72]

Okay, I can finally say that McNeese's other I-A game is Toledo. The local paper broke the story this morning.

I know Mississippi and Baylor are confirmed via viewing their web site. Has anything changed with Kansas or is that still a go?

I'm pretty sure UCA is counted as a D-II since this is only their transition year, where they can decide that D-I is not for them and go back to D-II.
