I think GS, App, Troy, Ark St. and ULL will get two each.

Considering USA had 2 midweek games in odd number years since 2015, I’ll guess 2 for USA.

2019 - ?
2018 - 1
2017 - 2
2016 - 1
2015 - 2

I think you're spot on with the locks. I would guess we'll get two since we normally do and that it will most likely be Appy at KBS and UL or ULM at Paulson.

I wouldn't mind two away games being midweek games, but I doubt it.

Hopefully we fall out if the rotation this year unless it’s once for a road game.

I wish that App and Southern would be moved to a Saturday. This game could easily compete for viewers on a Saturday night on ESPNU compared to the regular scheduling.

Is there an actual rotation to the mid-week games such that we’re guaranteed to host one in 2019? We haven’t played in one since 2015, haven’t hosted one since 2013.

No rotation whatsoever.

Look at that.....you and I finally agree on something.

I miss the Saturday games we've had in the past. They are better attended and a lot more fun. I haven't missed any of our week night games either, but I am lucky that I can schedule time off around it. Many others are not.

I don't think so. I believe they are all determined solely by ESPN and who they think will draw more eyeballs on TV sets.

One of Troy’s midweek games is almost guaranteed to be against USA.

How is ULM a lock to host?

Is that because it's on "rivalry week" each year?

I like the Thursday night games. Would rather play Friday night. To me, that night is possibly even better than Saturday. No clue why we as a conference don’t explore that. Sun Belt games, hell any college games on Thursday, have zero shot at competing with the NFL.

High school football would be a problem here on Friday.

If Louisiana is on twice, I'm guessing

App at home--ESPN will like the rematch of the title game.
A-State on the road. Because it's A-State

I think a lot comes down to whether or not ESPN wants to continue to put Troy/USA on a Tuesday night. If they don't, I could see them moving App/Troy to a Tuesday for one of the games.

I would wager a handful of cash that you are correct.

I'm pretty sure we can handle Little Rock tomorrow. Not sure what the line is though.

I'm sure GS @ App will be on a Thursday, but if GS can dodge a weekday home game, it will be the first time we've played all Saturday home games since we joined the conference.
