Skinny1 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Looks like a win-win. WAC seems to have their act together, at least better than the SLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamarfan360 Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Looks like Deion Sanders along with his Jacksonville State team are coming to Beaumont in the fall to take on Lamar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I know this is a one year deal but I could see an advantage to continuing the challenge in both football and basketball for at least a few years into the future. In football each conference sets up a schedule where several if not all WAC teams play an equivalent number of ASUN teams each year. This could fill one or two non-conference games each year. Similar in basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Wonder which of the open dates will become the 11th game and if it will be at home or away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinny1 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Wonder which of the open dates will become the 11th game and if it will be at home or away? I would only play away for the 11th game if it is a FBS money game. If it is FCS, maybe a home/home arrangement, if not a home game. If D2, it has to be at home. McNeese would be an interesting game if it could be worked out, but I would rather play Rice, North Texas, La Tech if possible and not have any D2 schools on the schedule.
