Technically, it's one DII and one NAIA, but you're kidding right? This is terrible. The only thing worse is Nicholls scheduling 3 FBS schools plus some DIIs. The SLC will continue to be looked down on in football as long as we keep scheduling like this. The front office needs to put a moratorium on NAIA teams.

I guess Woodard doesn't know the difference between D2 and NAIA? For a 12 game season I don't mind a non-D1 team to start the season, but what good does playing Bacone do the team? I think this has to do with money. Lamar gets their 6 home games and 2 of them are cheap dates.

The disparity between Bacone and Okie State is enormous and maybe unmeasurable and we play both in the same year. Geez I just can't see how playing Bacone or Panhandle State is a good thing!!

I think it's just common to call them all DII, but it's similar to FBS folks calling FCS DII.

Massey Ratings from 2012:

 

587 Oklahoma Panhandle State

48 La Tech

20 Okie State

481 Bacone

548 Grambling

70 SHSU

99 UCA

173 SELA

291 Nicholls

225 NW State

163 SFA

130 McNeese

 

Does playing 3 cupcakes and 2 tough FBS games prepare the team for SLC play?

You now you're program is bad when an NAIA school has a higher Massey rating than a DI school. Yikes!

[dacards]

While I'm not the biggest fan, I understand to an extant why it is how it is. First off you have to realize an FBS school was on the schedule and had to be replaced late. It's hard to make schedules much less change them last minute. While the NAIA game is rather pointless dII games have their value the same reason fbs school play us. confidence, easy wins, etc. It'd be great if we actually did move up to sbc and then just play fbs and fcs occasionally.

there is NO point in scheduling Bacone

-nobody wants to see it

-have a bye week to recover from beat down Okie St is gonna put on us

-and , ...what if they were to win? The season's over

No way Bacone wins it.

Why is everyone upset about Bacone? They beat Oklahoma Panhandle last year 40-7! Seems to me they are a better play than OKPan. We had a legitimate team back out on us so we were scrambling late to add a team. Not much you can do... except complain.

[puddin tane]

take the bye and save on electricity

[Cardinals2012]

Why take a bye week? I love going to games Im glad they are playing it. This is better than no game at all.

[Guest bigred360]

Just win the games on the schedule. Would I like a better schedule? Sure but winning is my main objective!!

+1 If we could win all but our FBS games it would be a great thing and just be awesome if we even won one FBS game.

[Heres2LU]

Let's be honest...until we get above .500 every year against below-par SLC schools, we probably shouldn't complain about the schedule. That being said, aside from Homecoming and McNeese this year's slate is a borefest!

[coachacola]

Saw this on the Football Scoop website:

 

Lamar University (FCS): Lamar University is looking for a home game August 31. Contact head coach Ray Woodard at 409-880-7157 if interested.

 

That was the Oklahoma Panhandle State game.

 

[LUSportsFan]

Good News!!! (I think)

 

Noticed on the lamarcardinals.com website that we have gone back to night games after last year's experiment. The first two home games are scheduled to start at 7:00 pm. The remaining home games are scheduled for 6:00 pm.

 

Personally, I prefer the night games so I'm a happy camper in that respect.

 

Oklahoma Panhandle State is still on the schedule as home opener, but there's still a lot of time between now and then.

So far, we have one TV game. The Lamar / UCA game (homecoming) on October 19 (6:00 pm kickoff per schedule) is scheduled to be shown on Comcast Sports Net-Houston.

Great tease LUSportsFan! Comcast Sports Net Houston comes in great locally! I hardly ever miss an Astros or Rockets game because........Oh that's right to watch ComCast you have to drive to Houston. Luckily it's a home game and I can see it in person. Sorry but the ComCast situation pisses me off every single day. Well, maybe not every day but as an Astros fan it is very frustrating.

As for the schedule don't whine about the paddy cakes because every team schedules them and it's nice to be able to EXPECT to win once in a while. Let's enjoy all the games and hope that Coach Ray does a better job than he has so far.

[LUSportsFan]

Didn't know it, but just learned that Comcast Sportsnet Houston is a joint venture co-owned by the Rockets, the Astros, and NBC Sports. The carrier I use, AT&T Uverse, has refused to pick it up so far because they said historical viewership of the Astros and Rockets didn't warrant the rates CSNH was asking. The article I read raised the question of the data being skewed by the Astros recent history and the Rockets not making the play-offs during the sampling period.

 

I expect it will eventually be settled. AT&T picked up the LHN last year.

While we might not see the game locally that is broadcast on the Comcast network, it will be seen in Houston and that is potentially a plus for recruiting.

Are no games going to be on the Lamar On Demand feed?

 

Never mind. They're on the schedule. There is just no link on the "next event" banner on the lamarcardinals.com website when you go to the schedule.

I like that you guys air those things for free, it makes it nice to be able to watch a game up here.

 

Last year, SHSU bent the fan base over by not changing the price of their subscription package even though it was only for 3 home games!

Yeah, I try to keep everybody hush-hush about it. I really hope the LU admins don't get wise at it, but right now, I think there are only a few of us who have to utilize it for home games.

 

I paid $8 (I think) for one home game last year on Kats TV (basketball, if I recall right).
