Texas to play ULL in 2021

[Machinator 32,098]

This rounds out our 2021 non-conference schedule (at Arkansas, Rice)

Just to clarify, the ASU game that was cancelled was against ULL. We never had a series scheduled with them.

Which Herm cancelled the game?

[Valmy77 13,125]

Well that sucks. Arkansas better not still be garbage by then.

[Thiefery 4,970]

That sucks, was it gonna be at ASU or in Austin?

Rice, @Arkansas, Louisiana-Lafayette

Hopefully we're good enough to worry about the fact that we can't afford a loss if we want to make the 2021 playoff with that schedule.

[Valmy77 13,125]

We continue to backtrack on our offseason schedule. I feel like this is doing both the program and the fans a disservice. I mean I understand why it is happening and I understand that ultimately we will be rewarded for it with swooning over our inflated record, but it sucks.

U La La!

We better steamroll that OOC schedule - that's SECW-quality pastry cooking.

[dingleberryswitzer 2,724]

Hey guy, that's a solid schedule.   Arky is an sec west team, and My aggy friends tell me that sec west football is as close to NFL quality as it gets, and even a team at the bottom of the sec west is better than most p5 teams.  We shouldn't even pencil that in as a win.

We'd have to drop a conference game and add an FCS team to sink that low.

I cant tell if you are being sarcastic.  Have you seen our OOC the next 10 years?  Its very good, loaded with blue bloods.  This is a one off game to pay back one we owed, dont freak out over 1 season.

I got it, machinator cleared it up.. BTW I'm not shitting on this schedule since this will be the first year without Sam as our starter.  Be interested in seeing if it's Thompson or Johnson that starts in Fayetville

Yes. I am aware that that one season is especially shitty with Arkansas being our "blue blood". But before we had one middling P5 team (Maryland), one blue blood (USC), and one G5 team (Tulsa). Now we seem to be going with two G5 teams. I am not happy about that.

It sucks but we have to make sacrifices as fans.  Blame the jackasses on the CFP committee.  They are the ones providing the incentive to schedule crap.  Texas Football is simply reacting to those incentives.  Until the SEC gets punished for scheduling much worse than this, Belmont SHOULD schedule some cream puffs.

[Rockethorn1978 6,061]

Don't we have LSU next year and bama in future schedules? not sure how that is backtracking?

[jdhorn92 1,538]

Texas plays LSU, tOSU, Bama, Michigan and UGA in the next 10 years.  Our OOC will be just fine.

He's miffed that our "second" noncon game is now a G5 instead of a midlevel P5.

Which is kind of annoying. Berkeley is a cool place to play, and College Park should have been before they moved it to the dump in Landover. It feels like we're more connected to the rest of CFB when we play those games. 

Incentives being what they are, I get it, but it's a loss.

You know, there's an actiual website for Texas athletics that contains our future football schedules. Maybe you should go take a peek. If you already have but still somehow think that playing home and homes with Michigan, Alabama, Ohio State, and Georgia sucks-- well, I can't really help you.

Based on last years schedule Arkansas is equal to Maryland. Lower/Middle tier team in power conf on the road.   ULL should have been a game vs a traditional Power like USC was. Every other year looks nice on paper but the 2021 home  schedule absolutely blows.

Home Schedule will be

ULL

Rice

Kansas

KST

Ok St

Texas Tech

 

This year is similar but the LSU game  offsets that in a major way.

They identify as Louisiana now you bigot shitbirds. ULaLa was their slave name.

2021 is not an ideal schedule, and I happily admit that. We obviously had an opening we had to fill, and I'm betting Del Conte tried to fill it with a bigger-name team. One problem: no P5 school is gonna give us a one-off home game on one year's notice. I'm sure he tried to work something out but eventually had to settle for Louisiana. Given our future schedule opponents post-2021, I wouldn't worry about this one-off.

I mean i get that.. I don't expect Clemson to roll in for 1 home game but at least a team like UCF, UH or Boise would have been better. Hell I would even rather see BYU as long as Hill stays in the NFL. They are always looking for games. 

We have had that opening for a while also.. It didn't just pop up.

UH, UCF, and Boise State would probably want a home-and-home as well.

So schedule it for 2025 or beyond where we only have 1 game scheduled... Hell we are playing Arkansas a decade later.

The Arkansas game is only being played this late because the original date was pushed back.

Playing a high-level G5 is equivalent to playing a midlevel P5 but with even less prestige.

Well fact is any high level G5 would create more buzz to open the season than ULL. They could have made it happen but chose not to. CDC has done many great things.. this is not one of em and he dropped the ball for a paycheck.

The goal is to improve our chances of making the CFP.

I read a couple of articles several years ago about the pissing match they had with ULM and the Sunbelt and that was an aggy level quest for legitimacy. At one point they were the Lousiana Lousiana Ragin Cajuns.

Current 8 year-olds will see us play regular season games against LSU, Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, and Georgia before they graduate high school.  I legitimately can't tell if you're trolling because your take is so far off from reality.

I was looking into this a bit earlier. If you look at UT's official baseball schedule it says they played Louisiana and if you go to LSU's it says they are playing UL-Lafayette. ULM doesn't say Louisiana or UL-L anywhere it says they're playing the Ragin' Cajuns and is the only school listed by their mascot.

[jdhorn92 1,538]

Look, any year we run the table and beat OU, the P5 team on our schedule schedule (ie LSU, Arky, Michigan etc.. ), TCU, OSU and win the B12 (most likely vs OU again), I have a hard time seeing us get left out of the top 4.

I believe the Sunbelt officially recognized them as Louisiana so they are Lousiana when it comes to sports which is why they have that name on a UT schedule. ULM has taken the position that it will be a cold day in hell before they even acknowledge the University of Louisiana (UL) prefix. LSU sure as shit isn't going to refer to them as Louisiana.

 Playing the Ragin' Cajuns was a damn good way to start off the 2005 season iirc...
