I will admit I might not be fully informed on this but I really don?t like playing these teams on the road. It is a lose-lose situation for mid tier power 5 teams like State. If we win we did what we were supposed to do, but losing it really stings. If these teams like Memphis, USM, La Tech don?t want to come to Starkville and play without a return game then fine. We should just schedule two complete cupcakes that won?t care and then 2 power 5. If we had played NC State and say Minnesota this year and we lost to Minnesota on the road, it wouldn?t have been a big deal. We know a non G5 team will look at it as their super bowl and play up to full potential. I get maybe playing ULL in the super dome for a neutral site but playing these type of teams on the road is a mess. Luckily Mullen pulled some of them out like Troy in 2012 but we seem to do this more than any SEC team if you look at their schedules. Maybe I am missing something but I just do not see the benefit here for us.
