Might want to put "basketball" somewhere in your post.

I was thinking football.

hopefully we get some more games against P5 conference teams this coming season

Would love a tough nonconference schedule

Wake wasn't very good last year (nor the last few years for that matter), but hopefully they can improve and at least become a mid-tier ACC team (ala Clemson this year). Probably wouldn't be a marquee win, but it would be much better than beating the Savannah St.'s of the world.

Good to see LSU trying to upgrade the OOC slate. That's at least 3 games vs. power conf. opponents next year. Hopefully LSU competes in the Big 12/SEC challenge next year. If they do, you're probably looking at a home game vs. the likes of Kansas, Baylor, Iowa St., Oklahoma or Texas.

Gotta get tougher Non-Con's if they want to make noise in the Top 25 rankings.

I will be there!

It's time to start adding some better out of conference games. The schedule use to be fun when Dale was around. Go back and look at those in season games LSU use to play, it was awesome.

People are acting like this WF game is a schedule step up.
WF lost in the first round of the ACCt.

Sagarin ratings before the tournaments:
NC State was #26
LSU was #49

NIT quarterfinal losers from last night
regular season champs of their conferences
Murray was 58
La Tech was 79


Wake was rated #122 by Sagarin at the end of the regular season.

I just hate to think that WF represents where LSU is at.

Why not schedule Wichita or Northern Iowa for home and home?

TD posters were going on and on before the SECt how LSU was ready to make the jump to national elite contender next season.
OK. schedule some non-Big5 "powers" in the coming years.
Bring in Murray, Belmont, Wichita, Northern Iowa, VCU and ODU.
Not all of them every year, but a couple. All of them are better than Wake. #122.

What is the football equivalent? Since there are more D-1 basketball schools, #80 in football is like #122 in basketball.

Many of the teams in the high 70's and low 80's in football had losing records.

by coincidence Wake Forest had a losing record in basketball. 13-18.
hoo ah.

Wake Forest isn't good anymore but it's a step in the right direction. I'd rahter them than Directional State. It's easier to put together a good OOC schedule when you're team is projected to be very good. ESPN steps up and sets up a lot of those big OOC games for TV. So I expect LSU to add a couple of good names to the schedule.
