Red Wolves has a quite an interesting Non Conference slate for the '16 season (playing our former head coach Gus again on the Plains, rematch against both Utah State and Toledo) but I gotta go with our FCS matchup against UCA as it's just rare to see two in state teams from Arkansas play one another on the gridiron (we last played UCA back in 2011 prior to that 1997. We did play UAPB for the first time ever in 2013 and I believe we will host them in Jonesboro again in '17-18?)
We're playing at Ole Miss and I think I'll make the trip over for that. I've wanted to go to a gameday in Oxford for a long time.
Incarnate Word. It will likely be our only win.
Honestly, at this juncture, I have no expectations for 2016.
Southern miss.
I want payback from the 2008 Nola bowl OT loss
Hosting Miami in Mark Richts first season for our first FBS home game against a P5 opponent. Doesn't get much bigger.
Looking forward to hosting Miami at Kidd Brewer but excited about our trip to Rocky Top as well.
Boise State, first game of the year and at Cajun Field.
I recently started working at GaTech, within the shadow of Bobby Dodd. Didn't make it up here for the last game, but I plan to be here for the rematch.
Houston, simply cuz it should be a sellout.

For experience: @LSU. It got moved to late November, bad timing for me, but I have never been to a game at Tiger Stadium and will have to make it.
P5 we might have a small chance against: @MSU. There will be no more Dak Prescott; how will they adjust? I don't know who they had behind him at QB.
I'm not excited about FCS Nicholls State. I wish it was Alabama State or someone in state.
SDSU at home will be a battle. They're a good team (they won 10 games this year) and will remember their loss to USA when they visit Mobile.

Third sellout. Third 0-28 start to the game?

A year ago, I would have agreed with you . . . Now, I'm not so sure . . .
Recently, there's been more negativity about the program than I can recall hearing in a long time . . . and if our AD screws the Pooch on the HC hire; well, I could see a lot of empty seats for this one . . . .
9/17 @Wisconsin. Our first game against a B1G opponent. Hope we have a good showing.
The U, not only because they are coming to Boone, but we atleast have an outside chance to win the game, the Tennesses game, well, they will be the favorites to win their division, and probably are a top 10 team, that's the game we are just trying to keep respectable.
I'd like for us to beat SDSU in Mobile. It would be nice for USA to win a 'big one' at home.
UT Martin, a game in which we will hopefully demostrate that we are capable of beating an FCS team. Liberty and Charlotte are big clouds over this past season.
