RE: Football Schedule Released
Anywhere from 6 to 10 wins, but going with 9-3.
I think D will be better, O will be fine with returning players as long as either Ferguson or Davis produce at QB, and there is an influx of talent overall and good experience returning.
As long as Norvell and staff have them conditioned and disciplined, it's just a matter of gameplanning and running the playbook really.
Aside from QB, my real worry is special teams falloff after the departure of Shibest. Dude worked minor miracles.

I think 12 games without a break is going to be tough if injuries are not avoided.

RE: Football Schedule Released
Pretty darn good schedule. Love the home and road games. Hate the early bye week and crusher on back end on schedule.

I wish we had kept So Miss as a permanent non conference home and home.
Wanted to keep Tulane until they joined the conference.
I like this schedule. Barring any unforeseen catastrophe, we are going bowling.

Any word on whether all spots will run through the U of M this year, or will the city still have some as well?

The LB controls all the parking, they aren't giving that up to the U of M.

I've been many times - my favorite was when it started POURING rain and all the debutants were dressed like they were about to take glamour shots.
Horace man was wrong - education isn't the great equalizer; the great equalizer is bad weather and trash-bags-used-as-rain-gear.
Good times.

I don't think anything has changed. City sells 1/3, HH sells 1/3, and the school sells 1/3 (rough breakdown)

During this past FB season, I had heard from some folks at the LB that the U of M would likely be taking over the sale of all Tiger Lane spots for the 2016 season (I'm sure with a % going back to the LB), with the possibility of a required HH membership to get one.
Since the HH isn't a direct arm of the UOM, I didn't think that last part would come to pass, but I hadn't heard anything else about it.
Hopefully they keep it the way it is, since ours is through the city as well.

I don't see the need to change it. LB doles out spots. Here you go TSF, here you go HH, and these we'll handle.
