Rumored price tag for this is1.2 mill.
I'll have to disagree with you 100%on this. It is part of the reason we are in the shape we are in today. Scheduling whore games takes the hard work out of building a solid program, and all it does is guarantee you a loss and a free pass to the next year, where it all starts again. If we continue with this philosophy just to get by, you have seen the best of USM football in the past, and we will forever be a whipping boy for top level AQ teams. Very small time thinking.
We used to win some of those games. In 2000, we lost 19-16 at Tennessee and a few weeks later we beat Bama. Manufactured championships against commuter schools have their place. So do out-of-conference SEC games.
Absloute stupidity and small time thinking.
