But I would like to see us schedule home/home with Memphis and Tulane like the good old days. It is always good for our fans to go to either Memphis or Nola each year. I know personally I don't care to go to Mobile or Troy.

I heard that ! ! !
I'd throw in GaState to get ATL in the mix too. UAB and USA aren't horrible places for off years between NOLA, Memphis, and ATL either. Be good for a little extra exposure in some big markets and an easy road trip for a lot of alumni.
no body should ever have to experience the Memphis stadium, environment, or lack of traffic / crowd control ..... BBQ is ok
Thank you for a meaningful thoughtful thread about how to Improve things. Beats the heck out of Duh crowd jibberish.
I agree would be more fun than Mobile.
Mobile and Memphis are about the same to me. Both are ok for an overnight trip, and that's about it. Each have one nightlife spot that you can wear out in a few hours and some good dining.
Is Tulane still planning on building a new stadium?
I agree, playing in Memphis and New Orleans is far better than Birmingham or Mobile
Why don't we just go ahead and play jsu at Memorial Stadium in Jackson. Good safe area.
We should play Memphis, Tulane, UAB, and a rotating AQ conference school every year.
You must've gone to the UCF game in Lberty Bowl. Good grief what a disaster. Watched most of the first quarter from a shuffling crowd easing along at 20 feet per minute trying to get to our seatsQuote:

Yea. Just seems that wi Mississippi being a close recruiting area! and having the Tulane campus in Madison now...that they would want to play Mississippi teams as much as possibleQuote:

If we are going to play @ let's not be @ Troy and @ USA. I'm kinda embarrassed about those road trips.
Here's the list of acceptable regional road out of conference opponents
Tulane
South Alabama
Memphis
Georgia State
Southern Methodist
Rice
Houston
UNC Charlotte
I don't mind the trip to Mobile. I get to stay at my wife's parents beach condo at gulfshores, get to eat some good food, play golf, and watch a football game.
I like this ideaQuote:

I remember some little UCF Bitc... er Bimbo sitting on the aisle ringing a tiny gold cowbell in the face of every MSU fan that came by in that ridiculous procession. They thought they were gonna roll over us.Quote:
