Wait, so they owe US the buyout, and we lose a home series? If anything, we should be getting a home series if there wasn't one. Or, they should pay more to buyout Pierce AND get a return series removed. Anyway, I agree, I'd rather play an SEC school in a series.

How about this? We drop the weekday games with LSU and play them every year in a 3 game OOC series, alternating by year as to home team? Then fill those weekday games with someone else.

Except it hasn't been shown that we had a home series to begin with for 2017.

Better is to keep the midweeks and add a 3 game series every year. One game in Turchin, one in the Box and one at Zephyr.

I'd go for that, and drop one of the 200+RPI midweek games. Maybe play Nicholls St once, and at home most years.

We already play LSU twice. So you'd only be adding a neutral site game. They probably wouldn't want that since they already play the WP Classic at Z.

What we are talking about would be 5 games and there is no question but that fan interest would be high. Play the series on the last OOC weekend.

I could go for 5 games a year. But I think whomever was the away team for the weekend series would need to have both the midweeks at home. The following year you switch.

We need good RPI games. So it would be better to schedule ACC or SEC schools.

The three games would be split up on the weekend. Each would be home once and the tickets could be split 50-50 for Zephyr.

Beating SEC teams on the road sky-rockets your rpi and prepares you for hostile environments in post season. I also like the idea of playing or hosting a tourney with some big name schools.

Then play them on the road once then home the next year. 2-1's are for lesser programs. It screams to recruits that we accept second class citizenship to the SEC/ACC.

No it doesn't. It says we will go your place, beat your ass, expose our program to your state's recruits and get better press coverage than our hometown media!

I have no doubt that Texas would be here next year, but for Pierce being hired at Texas. ADs schedule football and formalize all contracts and all of that. The baseball scheduling is less formal.

Playing any uneven series in baseball against us ridiculous and unnecessary. The benefit of the SEC RPI is playing a conference schedule full of those teams anyway. We can find plenty of good home and homes.
Keep LSU at the 2 midweek games; again, we can find good weekend series. The only weekday opponents trustworthy to be good are USM, ULL, LSU and, recently SLU. We already play those teams. LSU to the weekend would mean games against McNeese, Southern to fill the gap.

There's no question that AC is the insiders' choice for this job. I just happen to agree with the insiders on this rare occasion.

You don't have to replace the LSU midweeks as they would stay. A weekend series would be added. We do usually get good weekend series but we certainly get some clunkers.

I wasn't suggesting we take a backseat to anyone. My point was to play a tougher non-conference opponent to boost our rpi and expose our program to other states. I would rather play Florida or an Ole Miss on the road than a SWAC team at home. I'm wondering how hard it's going to be to find a quality opponent to come to us for a weekend series next year with Texas dropping out.

David Pierce is now on the Texas athletic directory as head baseball coach,the traitor and liar. Can anyone confirm the $1m buyout was paid by him to Tulane and his contract release given.

My understanding is that Texas is paying half of the buyout and Pierce is paying the other half himself over the life of his new contract (say $100k/yr for 5 years).

Thought this was interesting. We're not moving our fences in, but looks like Texas WILL move their fences in!
