Still playing the 4 non D1 schools. But looks like a pretty solid schedule.

I think Knight said those were already scheduled so Lamar is stuck with those games.

I see. And my money is on Ohio State as that last big name road game.

Honestly I don't really have a problem with the 4 non-D1 games as long as you can get someone better than Canisus as your biggest home game.  I love the games against Louisville, Kentucky and one more big $$$ game against a big time school!!!!  The schedule will get better...that is a promise!!!!

[/quote]They are exhibition games in August.  Any game is a head start on other teams.  I don't know the rule but they are allowed to do sometime like this every few years.

Becktobigs, ForeverADog means that our official schedule features 4 non D1 schools with Lyon, Huston-Tillotson, St. Gregory and Louisiana College. I don't think he's referring to our trip to Canada.
