It is crazy not seeing lsu or au in the first quarter of the season.

 

[Shamoan]

i liked getting lsu early....dang...

 

[Lettucexxxx]

barbaric schedule. We roll through that with one or two losses and my wool will be profuse.

to me, that kind of thing is overrated. It's not like it's really helped in the past.

The only time, in theory, that it helps is if we have a veteran team and they have a young team...and that goes with any matchup. And visa Versace it hurts us.

Just my opinion tho.

The best part of this schedule is our open date is on my anniversary....FINALLY!!!!!

See you in Manhattan boys, just a 7 hr drive for me.....

Home vs road sets up pretty nicely next year. We get a relatively easy game or an open date before every road game except the Egg Bowl, and even that's not too bad with Arkansas looking pretty down these days.

I thought the SEC has a rule that each team has to schedule a Power 5 non conference game. I don't see one on Arkansas's schedule.

 

[Wizard of bulldogery]

think it was cause Michigan backed out on them

 

[patdog]

Yep. They got a waiver for both 2018 and 2019, even though Michigan cancelled in summer 2016.

The series with Colorado State replaces Arkansas’ originally scheduled home-and-home with Michigan that was set for 2018 and 2019. Michigan bought out of the two-game contract in July 2016. Thanks to SEC approval of a waiver submitted by Arkansas, the games against Colorado State will satisfy the league requirement for games against a non-conference Power 5 opponent in both the 2018 and 2019 seasons.

I like it for the most part. I know it's just fantasy but I wish we could catch Bama earlier in the year. Usually by November they're rolling and unstoppable.

 

[RocketDawg]

Thought that was an NCAA rule. Why did Michigan back out on Arkansas?

Thought that was an NCAA rule. Why did Michigan back out on Arkansas?

It was scheduled before Harbaugh was hired and they replaced it with a series with Notre Dame. We then scheduled a series in the 2020's with Notre Dame lol.

Cupcake schedule with the most talented team we've ever fielded.
