Lemons getting an A+

on the OOC scheduling so far from me. This ****'s entertaining as hell. I love playing tough mid-tier NCAA teams with huge chips on their shoulders mixed in with the top P5 teams. We're gonna be iron steel tough by tournament time cause of it.

Texas, TCU, Texas Tx, Tulane

If you want to be the best, you've got to beat the best. Liking this schedule much better than the typical Polk/Cohen OOC schedules. Even if we were sitting at 3-4 right now instead of 5-2, this schedule will do us a lot more good than the cupcakes we used to schedule. Next 2 weekends are a step down for sure, but we've got midweek games vs Southern Miss and LA Lafayatte.

Our next two weekend opponents are a definite step down, but we make up for it with some tough midweek games. Neutral site game against USM and then the Ragin Cajuns come to town for a game the following week.

One change that I look from the last few years is the shift away from the four game weekends that Cohen loved to do. Just never felt like we gained a whole lot from playing those weird four game tournaments against a random northern team and a SWAC team.

He did it early in the season for multiple reasons. It kept us from playing two midweek games like we did under Polk.

It helped the northern teams out because they could come down and face two opponents at 1 park and play 3 to 4 games.

And third, it simulated Regional play but only used 3 teams to get in 3-4 games.

I understand what he was going for, but it had a tendency to blow up in our face. When you schedule four games against Holy Cross, you're not helping your resume at all, and then when you go and lose two of them it's kind of a disaster.

Those were wasted weekends.

1. Nope. Polk played 2-game midweeks because he always started the season a week or two after everyone else.
2. Not our job to help northern teams at our expense.
3. Not much of a simulation of regional play with low pitch counts on the starters and such weak competition.

All 3 of you are wrong. The 4 game tournaments were meant to get a Saturday DH for the fans.
