My idea of soon and their idea of soon are clearly not the same. Hope to see the the rest of the schedule today.

Just watched the replay of SFA / Notre Dame on YouTube. We really should have won that one.

We should have. We won all of that game but the final minute.

Perhaps the definition they are using?

soon

When we feel like it.

We will have more information-soon

With Oregon releasing this afternoon, 317 of 353 D1 programs have released their non-conference schedules.

Perhaps we need to retweet their announcement back to them. Could be an honest mistake and someone just forgot to post the schedule.

It will be announced at the same time Pope commits. Which will be "soon". Right? Lol

From someone that knows, the Ladyjack schedule is set. The Lumberjack schedule still has a gap but it is close. A couple of D1 schools backing out of games, as has been mentioned, set us back. D1 teams don't want to play SFA. D1 teams really don't want to play SFA at home. The hope is that the changes being made by the selection committee will help us and others in our situation going forward.

Don't think they've shared it yet (so I haven't mentioned it on social media), but Jack Madness is set for Friday the 26th (Homecoming weekend) at 8:00.

Looks like they've started practice again with a boot camp.

Soon though...

Edit: Just checked and the full schedule was out last year on August 23. Just 1 month, 3 days later and counting...

A bit ridiculous. Could put out a tentative schedule. Fill in the final blanks later.

Last I checked we are 1 of 29 D1 teams that still have not released a schedule. 324 other teams have already released their schedule. Not sure why the Belfast games are not on the schedule when those are known even the times are known. If you think you may not play the DII games and play someone else I can see not putting those out there but if you already have hard commitments then go ahead and put those out there like they quietly put LA Tech out there.

Last year they had 13 non-conference games assuming a similar number they have 5 on the schedule 2 - DII games that I know of and 2 Belfast games for a total of 9 that I count. So we are waiting for 3 or 4 more games? And I think most of the SL have posted so we know a lot of the conference games. I like how some conferences release their conference games all at one time and then the schools release their non-conference schedules when they have them ready to release, I wish the SL would adopt that approach.

Last week they posted that they were releasing the schedule "soon". They should have waited on that tweet it has now been a week since that was posted. It is like that coming soon sign for a new restaurant that starts to fade because it is has been sitting in the sun so long.

Eh, maybe I'm in the minority, but it doesn't bother me really. Practice has started and that's all that matters to me.

I want to get the games on my calendar. I traveled for work the last four years so now that I can schedule my time, I want to avoid being out of town (Lufkin)when Lumberjacks or Ladyjacks are at home. Silly, I suppose.

Since practice has started, one of you insiders tell us if Comeaux is practicing.

It doesn't bother me that it's not out, but I might be able to get a list of the known games together for anyone that is scheduling their trips to Nac.

Yeah, all games that we should care about have probably all been released. Letting left but D2 and NAIA games

Ok so here's what we've got so far, courtesy of D1 Docket.

  • 11/13 at Miami
  • 11/20 Marist
  • 11/30 San Francisco(Belfast Classic)
  • 12/1 Buffalo or Milwaukee (Belfast)
  • 12/7 Louisiana Tech (Home I believe)
  • 12/18 at Baylor
  • 12/30 Alabama
  • 1/12 Northwestern State
  • 1/16 at New Orleans
  • 1/19 at UIW
  • 1/30 Central Arkansas
  • 2/2 at Sam Houston (2nd annual Cram our other Coliseum)
  • 2/6 at Houston Baptist
  • 2/9 Lamar
  • 2/13 McNeese
  • 2/16 at Northwestern
  • 2/20 Corpus
  • 2/23 Incarnate Word
  • 2/27 at Central Arkansas
  • 3/2 at Lamar
  • 3/9 Sam Houston State

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uRiv3YDq67asL1C-SW0zxzZEKwi8Tkl6J2bHGK0hcZ4/edit#gid=495221456

That's 21 total games & 14 conference games. I believe we typically play 18 conference games, which leaves 4 unannounced.

Hope that helps anyone who's planning their winter trips to Nac.

So it looks like we're missing Nicholls, SELA, ACU, 3 non D1 schools and maybe one more noncon D1.

Just looking, it looks like realistically our worst case scenario is 6-6 heading into conference play with 10-2 being outrageously good. This fall is going to be awesome.

Why not 12-0 and be ranked in the top 25
nacluth
How long do you want to ignore this user?
If we go 12-0, then we better be top 25. My wife hopes we don't because then the purple confetti and glitter would never come out of our couches and clothes.
CertifiedAxeman98
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I hope we are 10-2 or better by the time conference play starts. Only top 25 if we go undefeated or loose one of the tough road games in a close game. I expect that if we are 9-3 or 10-2 we may have a few votes.

A few other games:

11/25 St. Edward's
12/21 Arlington Baptist
1/23 ACU
3/5 at ACU

This means yet again we play UNO, SELA, McNeese, and Nicholls once. They have to love that schedule. Some schools are wondering how bad they have to be to not play us twice.

Our conference is so awesomely bad at scheduling they should get an award for it.

I get it that they are trying to be geographically considerate to the students for long trips. But, you have to play 6 teams twice. There should be a formula that says top 4 teams the previous year have to play each other, bottom 4 teams play each other...and then geography. Nicholls and SELA (1&2) should not get to avoid the top teams from distance just like the bottom teams shouldn't have to play us twice.

Edit: Last year ACU, McNeese, and Corpus all tied for last playoff spot. Corpus got in on tiebreakers. ACU was the only team that had to play us twice. Makes those Wildcats wonder how "geography" screwed them. (Now they're googling distance between Nac and Lake Charles...)
