    2 away non-cons sucks....

    It is nice to be playing A&M late though; hopefully by that time they'll be going through their annual QB meltdown.

    So we weren't able to move Arkansas to a better weekend, and now we also play A&M in November. Not ideal.

    Still have no clue why we are playing BYU...
    Nothing gained by playing them..
    If you schedule a non power 5 team it should not be them...

    We're supposed to be playing a Power 5 team. We couldn't get 1 for the home & home for 2016 & 2017 so we had to get BYU approved.

    SEC DOES consider BYU a 'power 5 team.' From this article .. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefoot...five-opponents

    SEC will consider Notre Dame, BYU and Army as Power Five opponents

    That said .. would rather play Army than BYU .. and 'if' BYU brings back the same refs as they did when we played last .. rioting will occur!

    Power 5 schedules were filling up .. Big 10 started scheduling before the SEC .. SEC + ACC +Big 10 'all' decided to label some teams 'power 5's. It was NOT a request by MSU that started it.

    My apologies, but could someone jog my memory on why we are playing UMass? Was that a replacement for Tulane backing out? Honestly can't remember and you guys are better than google.

    Would it hurt you to at least be minimally informed?

    Forget BYU could we not have found someone to come to Starkville in UMass spot? I'm all for playing at UMass but not at the expense of seven home games.

    Looks like LT designed our schedule. And guess who Ole Miss plays before us? Vandy.

    We could've got another FCS school but it wouldn't have counted toward bowl eligibility. Tulane just canceled on us 6 months ago. Not a lot of time or teams available on that short of notice.

    Your telling me there are no Sun Belt or C-USA teams that we could have gotten to come to Starkville? I'm not buying that.

    The Umass trip could be interesting. If there are home games in/around town.... Red Sox on Friday/State on Saturday/Patriots on Sunday. Looks like you would have to fly into Boston anyway. Two hr. drive to Amherst. Stay in Boston Friday night, Foxboro Sat and Sunday night. Fly out Monday. Would be a pretty sweet road trip.

    I just had a revelation. Why couldn't we play UMass at home next year and then in Massachusetts in 2017?

    My guess is they wouldn't be to fond of your underwear either.

    I see about 7 or 8 wins in this schedule. I like our East draw and where it's situated on the schedule. It makes for a great escalator game going into LSU. We should have a solid record going into the last 4 games of the schedule.
