2018 Schedules

Re: 2018 Schedules

Why would the merger hurt it? It won't cross into other sports, so it shouldn't even be an issue.

Way more basketball schools now, with over half not playing football, which sport is going to reciever more emphasis from the comissioners office? Football which only 9 schools play, soin to be 8 when Tarleton gets the call to move up, or basketball which all of the schools play both mens and womens.

The next commissioner will be of the basketball only schools choosing 19 teams in the conference, 9 play football. The LSC survives in name only.

Re: 2018 Schedules

Rmac teams only have 1 game to spare, gac, miaa and nsic are closed schedule, gnac is 5 teams with 4 being in the upper west coast.

Its not easy finding 11 d2 games in the lsc that dont break the travel budget.

Saddly with the heartland merger i dont think trying to get a football scheduling alliance with another conference is going to gain much traction.

Re: 2018 Schedules

An open date would leave you with only 4 home games. I asked coach Hughes about that date and he said they called everybody trying to get a single game or a home and home deal. Couldn't get a D2 team.

Re: 2018 Schedules

The day I saw the Seidel Const. sign I knew it would be a long haul. I think the biggest problem was using the same contractor of the east side concessions and press box at the same time. One crew was doing both jobs for the first 4 months.

Doesn't help that we had major, major design changes throughout the entire process even after plans were drawn and submitted.

Re: 2018 Schedules

Hope yall have a better construction crew than we do....can't imagine how long it would take this crew to do an entire stadium. A press box has taken 14 months and still not finished.

Re: 2018 Schedules

Why not just be open as opposed to playing OPSU. The risk/reward there makes no sense to me.

Re: 2018 Schedules

Tarleton will Play SFA Sep. 8th in Nac. according to SFA website. SFA plays Miss St the week before.

The last time those two teams played, Tarleton walked away with a 24-21 victory in OT thanks to a 37-yard field goal by Stephen Arnold just minutes after missing a 47-yard field goal with six seconds left to win it in regulation.

Re: 2018 Schedules

Tarleton has posted our 2018 football schedule. We are playing Delta State and Lincoln (MiAA) in the ville and travel to SFA.

Re: 2018 Schedules

It would be nice if the 2 conferences would work together, but it would take the RMAC making week#1 a non conference date for all the schools and even then it would just free up that 1 week as the RMAC would be in a closed schedule after that. Also some of the RMAC school have to play a money game to with that one non conference date to support their budget. The LSC and GNAC could definitely get together to solve the scheduling problem. I can even see a LSC/GNAC football merger when Humboldt does drop football. The problem is that would be 2 plane flights a year for the LSC teams. It would kill budgets, but it would allow LSC teams to get to 11 D2 in region games. I'm not sure a school like ENMU could afford that and might push them to the RMAC. I know WNMU couldn't although they are closer to CA and could probably drive to Azuza Pacific.

Those are the same concerns i have voiced.

Re: 2018 Schedules

Thats all i care about. 11 d2 games.

My thinking was that the conferences would work together to get the schedules working.

Hopefully construction will be complete on the new stadium by then.

Re: 2018 Schedules

If their home field is in the condition it was for the Commerce game they will have their revenge.
