Oh my....they are LITTLE. saw many of their current players when I was coaching out west.
....but we also once lost to Maine, soooooooo
They're pretty much a brand new team....They joined FCS in 2014Quote:

Just enough time for Freeze to get booted, roll over there, and pull in 3 top 10 classes. I'm sure Abeline Christian is a beautiful place that sells itself.
Embarrassing.
Would rather play Jackson State than Abilene Christian at least you get the Sonic Boom with them. Still hoping we sign a 20 year home and home with Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, Wake Forest, or Colorado for our power 5 games.
I wouldn't say so. We get points for being an SEC school willing to play them. TAMU literally plays them the next season....we've played all of the smaller schools in Mississippi, so no one can bitch at us for not playing them.Quote:

Maybe an easier game since we have the P5 game
Not really much different than playing South Alabama. ACU plays Baylor the year before us and TAMU the year after.
How is it any different than scheduling Alcorn, Wofford, Prairie View, Chattanooga, Mercer, etc? All teams that our SEC West counterparts play in the next 2 seasons. The West play 3 SWAC teams this year & MSU isn't an opponent. There's nothing wrong with this game.Quote:
