JJWooten Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Seriously? Wowwwww... Woodard is trying to match paces with Roc as it comes to scheduling. At least USA is Div-I.
AJ25 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 TC also got beat by like 90 at SFA last year.. Woodard is just looking for W's and a stat building game to build confidence leading into the season, and he got it.

I can see scheduling 2 sub-DI teams, but 2? Tsk Tsk.
coachacola Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Langston bailed on Lamar so this was a last minute replacement team. Langston will have to pay Lamar $100K for cancelling.

The basketball team has been around for decades and should be completely ready to go every year with no excuses. Football wise, you're talking about still trying to convince fans why they should stick around every year.. While also building players' confidences. It makes a whole lot more sense to do this for a second year program at LU as compared to a program with history.
Castor27 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 I can't blame Woodard for this one. He was lucky to just get a game. I had a friend that played college football a few years ago. His team had a similar situation happen to them, with a team dropping a September game in March. They scrambled for over a month trying to find a replacement game, any replacement. They ended up having to take a game in LA against a team team 2 classes above them. The money they got from the game barely covered the flight and hotel costs of the trip. Woodard was lucky to get any game much less a home game. No way anyone could expect him to pull a DI school on that short of notice.
UNLV Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 Woodard and Tidwell claim no contact with the WAC. Maybe they are talking to a NAIA conference.GAWD, No way would the WAC allow a member to play a NAIA or at a FCS. Is this Lamar saying no FBS?

Sorry he wasn't able to get a D1 or solid D2 in quick enough time..? Those programs have the games they want already.
JJWooten Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 Well he replaced an NAIA game with another NAIA team. So either way, it's a crappy schedule.

UNLV Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 The point was Woodard planning to add a NAIA or at FCS for 2012. That suggest no FBS.

NorthoftheBorder Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 This sucks. This team probably couldn't beat West Brook, Memorial, Central or PNG. Better change the scheduling philosphy fast or the fan base will dwindle. When it was announced that LU was bringing football back, the excited fan base wasn't imagining games against Texas College I can promise you.

We dropped a FCS, South Dakota, for a NAIA.

I want us to be as big time as you do, but we aren't yet. We are in the Southland Conference, competing for a conference championship for the first time in over 20 years. On top of that, you normally schedule football opponents years in advance.I'm sure Coach Woodard could get just about anybody to schedule him with this, "Hey we're starting up a program in Beaumont at Lamar, and we'll be a member of the prestigious Southland Conference.. wanna play?"
