I'm all for a challenging OOC game- in a bowl game.

Playing a challenging OOC game does not help us, and I think most of our fans realize that. We really only played two cupcakes at home this year where there were low interest- UAB and UT-Martin. Of course, one was HC. South Alabama was not "interesting" but we played them on the road, and I would consider Mobile an alumni road trip game since they are fairly close to the beach.

It would piss me off because a team from any other conference has to go strong OOC to get their SOS to be relevant in the first place.

Most people don't have a problem with an easy homecoming game like we just had. Most teams do that. Its the other three people are nitpicking about.

So, just because Alabama and Auburn do it, we should do it? And personally, I think they are both dumb for playing those games as well.

We can beat Bama ( #5 on the road ) and OM (currently #10 on the road ). That should resolve any questions and/or doubt.

Who's made reservations in Atlanta? What's our official hotel?

I can guarantee you if Aub or Bama were undefeated with our schedule no one would be making a big deal about anything..
Example.. This years LSU team a few weeks was the worse they have put on the field in a decade.. Yet you would think Bama just went in there and beat a top five team this past weekend..
