This has to do with Sadler being pathetic and losing to SWAC schools by 20 points, so he has to drop down and play schools he feels he has a better chance to beat in order to save his job.

We've typically played 3-4 non-D1 games since I've been following USM athletics (mid 2000s). This isn't really a new thing. Go look at some of Eustachy's schedules. That being said, I agree in that I'd rather do H/Hs with local (beatable) D1 schools like UNO, ULL, Samford, SELA, etc.

As for playing at AAMU, yeah, it's embarrassing. But from what I understand, this is a 2-1 deal so we don't have to pay them $$ for a single guarantee game in Hattiesburg.
