OOC this season alone has Southern and ULL on the schedule. From a regional standpoint, we see a substantial change in attendance based on East/West divisions. If G-5 Conferences can maintain some semblance of regional scheduling attendance will show it. I want Tulane on the schedule at some point too.

Games in Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio are very beneficial toward the university's effort to recruit more students from east Texas. Plus, we've had games in Dallas in 2013 (vs Army) and Dec. 2014 (HOD Bowl vs Illinois).

It's a variation of Godwin's Law which I call Smith's Law: "As an online discussion involving UL-Lafayette grows longer, the probability of the discussion turning into a name thread approaches 1."

"As Nastybunch said... informational between Cajuns and USM. As soon as anyone mentions the name "Louisiana," as I said it's catnip for LT fans. It tends to be the same for WKU and MT around rivalry week but this seems to be more long-term."

Why was this moved to CUSA smacktalk, when there isn't any smack talk it gets moved.

I agree with this. Why move it after the talk has turned to what it was intended to do. Very poor judgement by whoever moved it.

Louisiana Lafayette has always brought many more fans to USM than any of the other bunch of Louisiana schools including Tulane.

That's an interesting statement. They don't bring anyone to Ruston (just parents of the players and band). They say they are going to this year though. We'll see. I guess maybe they are closer to H'burg than Ruston.

I expect a relatively large contingent of Cajun fans this year.
