5 p.m. today, SEC Network, our remaining two opponents will be announced

[MSUDC11]

Just announced by the SEC on Twitter.

I assume they’re still not in studio? At SECN?

At 5PM on Friday, the traditional time to dump bad news. They know this won't be popular.

Let me guess, Alabama gets Vandy and South Carolina, LSU gets South Carolina and Kentucky, and we get Florida and Georgia.

 

[QuaoarsKing]

Are they not announcing the full schedule? What's the point of just telling us opponents? I want dates and times.

 

[messageboardsuperhero]

I have actually heard that some of the heavy hitters are not pleased with theirs draws. I guess we’ll see.

Damn, we need some football.

SEC Network..

 

[G-Dawg]

Wait, I thought they already announced these several weeks ago. Didn't I read that we were picking up Vandy and Georgia?

I suppose they could rationalize something like that and say it's become a new east-west rivalry since Mullen left us. And that's true in some minds.

If I recall correctly, that was just the poster's prediction.

To me, the best outcome would be that everyone plays their ‘24 and ‘25 opponents and starting in 2024, we go to a 9-game conference schedule. 1 permanent and 2 rotators to get around the league faster like the olden days.

 

[57stratdawg]

Sounds like strength of schedule was considered.

 

[57stratdawg]

Bama gets Missouri and Kentucky

 

[57stratdawg]

Headed to Athens..

Vandy coming to Starkville..

This is what they should have done. At least it wouldn't feel so rigged.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Bama gets Missouri and Kentucky

That’s unbelievable.

 

[Dawg1976]

Figures.

more like predictable

HOW THE HELL DOES OLD PISS GET KENTUCKY AND SOUTH CAROLINA? IN MY COUNTRY WE CALL THIS ********!

Not to ever defend any treatment of them, but they already had Florida and Vandy. So they get 3 winnable East games and 1 that likely isn't, just like we do.

I expected we'd get screwed since our existing games were a relatively easy pair of KY/MO, but they screwed Arkansas instead and at least gave us Vandy. We have a plausible path to 5-5.

 

[RocketDawg]

They certainly took care of the big boys - Alabama and LSU basically got two cupcakes.

They probably gave Alabama the easiest possible games from the East, then scheduled everybody else.

 

[Chris Mannix]

Bama gets Mizzou and Vandy? I mean damn getting calls from refs, and Saban handing out cars/money to kids over there with no consequences isn’t enough they have to be given a staked down goat as well? Damn it must really feel good to be gangster.

They will be underdogs in Lexington and the SC game is a toss up for them. I honestly don’t mind our draw compared to theirs, we are for sure going 1-1, there’s a very realistic chance they go 0-2 or at best 1-1, I don’t think they win both of those games.

Well, whoever it was, they nailed it.
