We do host P5 Mississippi St in 2025 as part of the home and home with them in 2023

And we can cancel the remaining 3 OOC games with Troy in 24, 28 and 29 and replace with possibly UAB and/or La tech

Probably will see 4 home conference, 4 away conference, TWO road money games, 1 FCS home and 1 G5 home. If we cant get the G5 without a return game then TWO FCS. This can change after a few years when we get our ship righted.

I think it's good to have two road money games instead of one road money game and one G5 road game. The road money games get the alumni base more excited relative to playing a G5 school, aside from a few.

I feel 99.99% positive we won't do 2 FCS games in the same season as only 1 counts towards bowl eligibility.....and very unlikely we get a 1 and done home matchup with another G5 team. I could see 2 P5 road buy games along with a home FCS and home G5 but there's gonna be a return trip to the G5 team. The only 1 and done G5 matchup we've played in a LONG time (that i can recall) was at Navy in 2011 as the return game was gonna be something like 8-10 years down the road so we were paid as a 1 and done buy game by them.

Our AD actually mentioned playing Southern Miss OOC. I bet our future schedule gets changes and we do this. We should cancel our HH with U-Mass and U-Conn and replace with USM IMHO. It just makes sense due to our proximity. Why play a crap DII school basketball or a crap G5 program?

He also hinted about playing WKU and La Tech.

How? Well, every P5 team doesnt = Bama, Georgia, Clemson, and the like. Ms State, South Carolina, Virginia, etc arent an automatic curb stomp, particularly if we can get the program back to where it historically has been.

As far as playing wku again? Forget it. Never happen and never should. I have no problem playing La Tech or even UAB every now and then but no way we need WKU. We want regional or money games...not the travel costs of a weak ass n0-name program like wku. No one wanted to watch them in The Rock for years, why would they suddenly now? A SWAC FCS game is good bc the SWAC fans fill the Rock and makes us money.

I still think Hall is the answer. I could be wrong. Hope not. His recruiting will be better than anyone since Fedora.

Play one buy game like Alabama each year. Then have a P5 game like Virginia/Kansas that we can win.

Possible for it to happen between 2024 to 2027. From 2028 thru 2030 UAB already has two SBC teams scheduled. Then it could be schedule again from 2031 thru 2033 since UAB only has one SBC scheduled for now.

Haha, you're funny. USM's record vs "weak ass n0-name" WKU is 0-4. Just as an extra fun statistic, USM vs MT is 0-3. For even more fun USM in basketball is 1-10 vs WKU and 4-10 vs MT.

If your only point was WKU shouldn't be scheduled due to geography, fine, but to act like WKU is beneath USM is asinine.
