RE: Memphis football schedule dropping this morning
I think there was some thought that Memphis would be in Big 12 right now. Easy OOC schedule would allow for bowl eligibility with only a couple of wins in conference.

Truth is, college football in general has suffered due to all the conference changes over the last 2 decades. Most SEC fans are not stirred up to play Missouri (or South Carolina for that matter), for example. Same for Maryland & Rutgers in Big10. Memphis has similar problem except it is exacerbated by, first, being in no conference for years and then losing our few rivals (Ole Miss, Louisville, Southern Miss, & Arkansas State) during the transitions.

I am rooting the the TV contract is good enough to keep everyone together. And that Amazon doesn't buy out FedEx...

WTF we gonna do, we got a lousy OOC SCHEDULE and doesn't look like there is any effort to change it.
Someone posted earlier that probably a bonus involved if we go to a bowl and or reach a certain amount of wins.
How about a bonus for attendance figures.
I s,still say playing Cupcakes hurts us in recruiting, but evidently very few agree

How many 4 stars did we land and it's not a overnight fix, first u schedule them, then u beat them and then u will land some 4 stars. Long road but u gotta take the first step.
To answer yo question good class, we'll see in the next two yrs, but it'll tough to judge while playing CUPCAKES

As stated numerous times in this very thread, our attendance has nothing to do with OOC games.

We draw the same for UCLA as we do Missouri State.

OOC is early in the season and weather is typically fair. Or at least, not cold enough where half of you don't attend CONFERENCE games because your kid doesn't want to go or whatever.

And Cupcake SIU had within 5000 fans of UCLA. Winning has much more to do with attendance than anything other than weather. Who we play is about 5th on that list.

Do you honestly think beating a UCLA team that finished with a losing record had nearly as much to do with playing in the Liberty Bowl as finishing 10-1 and playing the AAC Championship game against an undefeated UCF?!! The winner was going to the Access Bowl, the loser was going to the Liberty Bowl.

Your lack of comprehension of the total picture astounds me at times, most of the time is just the same tired drivel.

If you agree that it's hurting recruiting, either you don't pay attention or as misinformed as he.
