One of these days, these designated conference games are going to blow up in Wright Waters' face.

NMSU has three designated games. It would be a shame if on that basis and the fact they are not long for the Sun Belt if they ended up winning the conference and representing this conference in the New Orleans Bowl when they did not face but a slim majority of the Sun Belt schools.

The end of this re-alignment BS can not come quickly enough for me.

I had not thought of that but it would definetly be an embarassing situation for the conference :rolleyes:

I think North Texas has the hardest of the schedules b/c of their out of conference games. That's some tough ones for them.

Spaceraider, how do you feel about MT's schedule?

I am not sure what to expect.

We will have a better Defensive Coordinator than last season and we will have a better QB - thank god Andrico Hines has no more eligibility. We are awfully young though with less than a dozen seniors. It is time some of these heralded recruits stepped up and fulfilled their promise. I look for great things out of WR Kerry Wright and Clint Marks our rising sophomore QB or Josh Harris, rising junior QB.

Regardless, I am looking forward to some tailgating again.

I think your schedule is much like ours, other than 1 game, you have a 50/50 shot at the rest of them. IMHO, that is much improved of the past couple of years. I hope regardless of which teams (as long as the Cajuns are one of them :D ) that the conference has a least 3 teams with winning records this season.

Well Space I think Middle will be ok for next season. I think ya'll can win most of the games next year and might surprise a few teams next year.

Now that the topic has been brought up, I'd like to know how many other SBC schools are forced to play a monster game as a designated conference game.

Troy State's current choices for a designated SBC game:

@Marshall
Missouri
@South Carolina
@LSU

Nice huh? Talk about being between a rock and a hard place. I'm happy to be in the Sun Belt, and I really like Wright Waters, but this designated conference game stuff has gotta stop. No more after this year please....

GO TROJANS!
