^^^THIS^^^ Outside of Kentucky, I don't give a rats ass about any of our home games this year. To me, playing State, Ole Miss, East Carolina, Louisville, Houston, etc are the type of games I would anticipate, home or away.

We typically play 2 non-conference road games anyway. Make both of those road games part of 2-1 contracts so we'll have at least one desirable non-conference home game per year.

This is the scheduling model I'd like to see:
4 home conference games
4 road conference games
2 road non-conference games as part of 2-1 contracts (State, OM, UL, etc)
1 home non-conference game as part of a 2-1 contract (State, OM, UL, etc)
1 home FCS game versus regional team (JSU, Alcorn, Southern etc)

That's 3 games per year against teams I'd actually be interested in watching us play and a chance to draw a huge home crowd against a name school opponent.

Another newb with good common sense. Please post more!

They are not new to these forums. They have been around a long, long time.
