UCA...looks like you guys need to call UAPB to establish a 'Classic' for the last week unless you want a bye prior to the playoffs (which is what the Gateway has done before)...
Lamar is in for a tough 2011. I believe this was a bit early for their inclusion and is a different path than any other recent school to start football as a new program. One thing to go from Division II to Division I, but this is going to put the pressure on Lamar to find a nice balance of transfers (JUCO and otherwise) plus freshmen if they want to have the experience and depth to contend with the rest of the conference.
Each team in the conference will have four home and four away games beginning in 2011 under this format. Currently, it's four home and three away and vice-versa on a rotating basis.

Additionally, Conference football schedules for 2011 and 2012, featuring the return of Lamar’s football program, were approved.
