You can get just as weak of a team in McNeese, Northwestern, Southeastern etc as Furman and would help attendance for these games plus keep the money in state. Are you gonna tell me McNeese wasn't thrilled to play us? I did hear they brought close to 8,000 which is a lot more money spent than Furman's 800. I'm all for playing in state when it comes to FCS.

If we play an instate school the best choice is Tulane. It is an academic peer we have a long history with them and they are a school of snooty, brats from the East Coast who we love to beat. If only they would come to their senses and agree to come to Baton Rouge and get a nicer paycheck than they get by playing UTEP or NMSU.

Tulane needs to accept the fact that they football wise are a school that cannot expect home and home series with SEC schools. Maybe a 3 for 1 at best with LSU.

In years where we can get 7 home games I don't think playing 1 game at the Dome in New Orleans against Tulane is a bad thing everything 3 years or even their new stadium but the Dome will seat more.
