Upcoming Nonconference Opponent

[bluelightstar]

Just saw the C-L article that we're close to finalizing our P5 opponent for 2015-2016: http://www.clarionledger.com/story/mississippistatesports/2015/01/19/msu-close-to-finalizing-power-5-opponent-for-2016-17/21992599/

Any of you heard who it is? Also, just a side note, why do we always get the second game of the home-and-home?

I expected a little more out of this article. A little investigative work would have yielded a list of the schools that still have openings for us in their schedules in both years. I suspect it is a rather small list.

You do realize he was referring to our ability to sign and play Cory Helms, right?

I've wondered why we always get the second game of a home/home, too. I suspect the trend will continue in perpetuity now, so we don't go 2 straight without a home P5 game.

I'm guessing it will be with somebody that rescheduled a buy game to play us. The list of schools otherwise available was very short and seemingly all of the schools on there would have had a legitimate reason to not want to schedule (many of them already had a major OOC matchup lined up for that year).
