Me too...if we're going to play another belt team, it should be ASU.

Go Tigers! 7-0!

We end series with our oldest rivals because we had no place for them on our schedule and then schedule home and home with ULM, GSU and USA. Unreal.

So does mean we now hate Tom Bowen?

I agree. Nomenclature sucks. One of my pet peeves.

No, we're obviously fortunate to have Bowen's leadership.

But I don't like this scheduling tendency one bit.

Bowen is very overrated. Coach Fu and assistants responsible for success in FB-this is nonsense scheduling.

Bring back RC?

Ok....the only thing I can see here is a similarity to how B12 schedules OOC. Is this foreshadowing?

I suppose it is meant to relay the idea of a home game for each team, as opposed to a neutral site. Oklahoma & Texas play a neutral site each year, and A&M vs. Arkansas is at Jerry World. They have an "Away and Away" deal I guess. Then there are the season opener games at Jerry World, Reliant Stadium in Houston, etc. that are sometimes one game deals and other times one of the teams gives up one of its home games.

When does UT, Baylor, Oklahoma and TCU travel TO the likes of ULM, GSU and USA?

Mizzou just went to Ark State.

until we can pay $1,000,000 for buy games we are going to have to play these mediocre games on the road from time to time

*South Alabama was announced in Jan/Feb of this year. What is Georgia State?? Not happy with have 1 season where games with both of these teams overlap (ie 2018). Would rather see a P5 middle of the road team or top tier from MWC.

Where the hell did the Tennessee return game go? I thought we were hosting them in 2017?

they were waiting on the results of the ole miss game before deciding whether to continue postponing the series or not

It's ULM by the way. It is announced on our Rivals site, Warhawkreport.com. 2017 in Memphis and 2019 in Monroe.

It was announced on our rivals site first. Our rivals site beat you by 30 mins and we'll beat you by 30 points. GoTigersGo!

Might as well play them - many SEC schools do. I've always wanted to see Monroe, LA.

Tulsa's stadium, by the way, is nicer in person than it looks on TV. Built in 1930, it has classy architecture, especially on the exterior, and you can feel the tradition there.

OK ST played at Texas-San Antonio last year I think, maybe the year before, some fans complained, until the coach explained that they did it for recruiting exposure. We recruit Atlanta, Alabama, and Louisiana. Recall Tiger fans' gripes that playing SEC teams helps their recruiting in the city?

Southern Miss would be perfect.
