We don't need to be humilated by LSU or Texas again anytime soon. I think it a really good idea if we played teams in the WAC, C-USA, or MAC.. We need to play a good team like Marshall, Toledo, Western Michigan, Kent State, Central Florida,  and others.

But It would not hurt If we played a SEC team like Vanderbilt or Kentucky once in a while either, but not teams like LSU , Ole Miss., Auburn or Florida.

The cold facts are we need to play these games (at least 1 per season) for the money we make off of them. Yes it would be nice to play Kentucky instead of Texas but just like we know our chances are better against Kentucky they know that also and would most likely be less inclined to schedule us than Texas would. I like the move of playing Eastern Michigan and Tulsa, both are 1-A programs from the MAC and the WAC, conferences (along with C-USA) we should be on par with. There will always be a Texas type game on our schedule, the key is to get our team better (give us a better chance to win) and get our attendence up so we only need to schedule 1 of these games not 3 or 4 (see Arkansas State this season).
