Saw on the news that Stricklin has narrowed the replacement down to one team but doesn't want to name it since a contract hasn't been signed yet. No word of its a home or road game either.

@MikeBBonner: MSU's search for a 2016 football opponent is down to one team. It's unlikely a P5 team, which leaves a pool of 20 http://t.co/AKVrRLhdDe
It is UMASS
It needs to be somebody really bad to help break in the new QB. UMass is awful, so that sounds good.
If Dak were going to still be here in 2016, I'd want to schedule Ohio State or someone like that.
Still not liking the BYU series. Their refs will shaft us for sure.
We can have night and day better athletes than BYU and still lose. I hate that we picked them up again. There are too many teams out there that we've never ****ing played.
Mormon Mafia does not give a damn about, "playing fair'. Ends justify the means, and in their minds they are meant to win, and by any means necessary. If any of you have had to do business in certain parts of Utah or Arizona, you know what I mean. If you are not Mormon, you don't deserve to be treated fairly.Quote:

I really hope that with all the dough coming in that we will just pay someone for a one off in Starkville
what team did U-Mass give fits to last year? was it Vandy? I forget..
IIRC, Vandy kicked a field goal to win right at endQuote:

Last time they were in the Mountain West and they used Mountain West Refs in Starkville. They will probabaly have to use another conferences refs. Possibly SEC.Quote:

Another triple-option offense? No thanks, especially not with 1 week to prep.Quote:

Only their cunningness rivals their inherent evil, lol.Quote:

Could be. Look like they're looking for home games though unless the NCAA grant them a waiver because they only have 2 home games & you're supposed to have at least 5.Quote:

I wasn't doubting you but do they have the waiver from the NCAA to have a lower amount of home games?Quote:

BYU is not going to back out our game.Quote:

Could it be UAB since they are reinstating football in 2016?
USM at Hattiesburg again in 16. Will be a 11pm starting time*****Quote:

Schedule update.
We knew road game @La. Tech was moved to 2017. The home game scheduled for same year has been moved back to 2018. However, a new game in Starkville has been added to 2021. Still no news on 2016 opponent.
