Very disappointing that Dannen took the easy way instead of finding a more challenging and prominent opponent.

Scheduling series against teams such as La La that noone cares about outside of 50 miles out of Lafayette does nothing to strengthen either us or the AAC interns of strength or competitiveness.

Bad decision by Dannen .He needs to toughen up . If la la is able to schedule Texas and Arizona State why does Dannen settle for 'safe' la la instead of ACC and BIG12 with. 2024 realignment on the horizon and on our agenda . We certainly do not want to sink to the oblivion that is la la .

Isn't this last year's news or am I missing something?

By 2024 they'll be our yearly rent-a-win.

Not if they're able to hold onto their current HC

Old news, but I strongly disagree. Playing a series against another Louisiana FBS isn’t above our pay grade. If you don’t agree, you might want to check out bowl eligibility history. Playing ULL is always in-state news, and the game sells tickets. It doesn’t define our program if we are smacking them in the face the way an AAC team should be doing a Sun Belt opponent. Let’s just smack them for a Saturday and move on to the next opponent. Yes, we want to see more P5’s here and there, but let’s not be stupid as well.
Ball Sumrall!
