Schedule

[AG1219]

I doubt that the contract was worded such that LSU could just pull out without some financial penalty. Besides, I was thinking that last year it was decided to put it off another year to 2010-11. Does anyone else remember that?

This is correct Royal, it will be next year at a neutral site.

That could prove to be a not good decision by LSU, although, as far as I am concerned, there is still plenty of payback for '81 and all the baseball.


A "neutral" court beatdown in Shreveport in '10-'11 will give momentary comfort but in no way even things out.

Those LSU teams looked like 30 year old men with full facial hair and forearms the size of most of the Shockers waists.

I think Marshall should try to get Tulsa on the schedule some how. If not this year, maybe next. Who is the bigger rival Tulsa or LSU?

I'm with you WuDrWu,

Playing a well coached team with possibly 12 of 13 players returning is not always a great recipe for a W.

That WSU team should have a lot of talent and experience. It should be a great game.

I think out of tradition that Tulsa was the bigger rival.

Does anyone know when the first exhibition game will be played, so I can mark my calendar and do a countdown? I can't wait, hardly, to see this new team in action, and the new recruits.

I believe it's Nov 7th against Newman, although it hasn't "officially" been released yet.

Jim Les tweeted that the Valley schedule has been internally released.

You beat me to it! So hopefully we'll have it officially by the end of the week!

The Valley has asked that schools not release the schedule until Friday. Hopefully WSU knows our CBE opponents and game days so they can release on Friday as well. If not, looks like another year that we will have to piece our MVC schedule together from other teams releasing theirs.

Hopefully we won't get screwed like we normally do and wind up playing all of the top teams to start the conference schedules and then finish the season by traveling to their arenas to finish the season.

I would like to start the season playing a couple of second tier teams at home to get started and then get a couple of second tier teams on the road.

Here's my best conference schedule

Last year:

Creighton away
Bradley at home
Northern Iowa away
Southern Illinois at home
Drake away
Missouri State away
Creighton at home

Great way for a team whose biggest weakness was inexperience to start conference play.

I would like to start with:

Missouri State home
Evansville home
Indiana State away
Drake away
Northern Iowa away
Creighton home
SIU away
ISU away
Drake home
Indiana State home
SIU home
Creighton away
SIU home
Northern Iowa home
Missouri State away
ISU home
Evansville away
Indiana State home

With that schedule we are 15-3, conference champs. JT Durley MoVall Player of the Year.

My early predictions. Don't ask me about nonconference results.

Well, I'm sure LSU didn't figure on going 0-2 to start that series. I guess their punchbowl still isn't sanitized after the terd we dropped in it.
