I'm more interested in playing Mississippi Valley than I am NC State to be honest with you.Quote:

I will restate what I have said before. I am ok with it if we play eight SEC teams, two in-State teams, Tulane, and Indiana every year. Have six winnable games built in every year.Quote:

Give me 4 winnable non-conference and a bowl and let the team get up for the big SEC games healthy and confident after feasting on cupcake.
This is the smart thought process. We ain’t Bama.Quote:

Probably personal to a degree since I grew up watching Sports Journal and Rob Jay who made the SWAC sound like the coolest football league ever. I would prefer in state SWAC teams over Alabama A&M but I understand the issues with JSU wanting too much money and Valley not having enough scholarships to qualify for bowl eligibility. I guarantee you our players would rather play an in state SWAC team over say Stephen F Austin because some of them grew up pulling for some of them I'm sure and they know players on those teams moreso than other schools.
Now as far as the "meaningless" bowl games- the bowls are probably the biggest reason why our program has steadily been elevating itself over the past decade. MSU gets millions of much needed money for playing in one. It's odd to me that you say that a bowl game against a team like Louisville, Iowa, Michigan, Georgia Tech, and etc. are "meaningless" yet you advocate for playing a "meaningless" regular season game against those teams which would cost MSU more in money and exposure while not helping to elevate the program. Bowl games are about as close as we are going to come to having full exposure on the football program in this day and age because of the time slots.
The people that share my opinion are the ones that know what's best for MSU as a program and want to see it continue to grow. Going 4-8 every year and bragging about having the most difficult schedule in college football doesn't help MSU. We essentially are scheduling the same way Alabama is right now.
Kobe Jones on Twitter- I know player's on Twitter- said today that we need to play a full schedule. Other players have said something similar about wanting to play. While they won't be making a decision I think it shows that they want to do it and don't feel unsafe about it.Quote:
