I'm hearing it's a 2-year deal. That's a little more acceptable. I'd prefer we and ESPN pick a day and set up an 8-10 year commitment so it's not moving around all the time.

SEC schedule is supposed to be released tonight. Hopefully there will be some clarification on this. I would rather play it on Thanksgiving every 8-10 years, not for that entire stretch.

Holding my breath to see whether the road to Atlanta is paved in gold in 2017.

Dang. That three game stretch facing Tom Herman, Kirby Smart, and Art Briles will be tough.**

It is a multi-year deal, won't be as long as you're hoping, maybe 4 years, but at least 2.

That Charlestown Southern opener will most likely be 11am kickoff. DWS will be hot and empty...again

Hope we win this time

At La Tech.... Whaaa

Part of a 2-for-1. Going forward, we will alternate between a road game vs. a P5 team and a road game vs. a regional team (LA Tech, Memphis, Tulane, etc.).

At La Tech.... Whaaa

How, after about 10 years, do people still get surprised when they see this.

 

[patdog]

Somehow, they still are. BTW, Miami (the one in Florida) is playing AT Appalachian State this weekend. South Alabama hosted NC State a year or two ago. We're not the only ones doing this. It's just the way the college football landscape works these days. Sometimes, it makes sense for a P5 school to play at a mid-major.

My impression is that ESPN really wants the A&M-LSU game every Thanksgiving. But with LSU refusing to play their home game on Thanksgiving, and MSU-UM refusing to play unless it's a multi-year deal, ESPN caved and went with a 2-year deal. I suspect they're still hoping to convince LSU to change their mind in a couple of years.
