or any 1-AA team. Anyone else is going to want a home and home. We'd never have 7 home games in a year.

that I was trying to make...growing the fan base. Think people.

I just prefer to play teams that we can actually count the win for bowl eligibility(I think...). If we won 9 to 10 games a year then it wouldn't matter much, but we are not going to win 9 to 10 games a year, we will do good to win 6 or 7. That's the difference to me. Just saying....</p>

is a 7th home game most years (ideally every year). You can't get to 7 home games consistently without playing a I-AA team. In case you haven't noticed, it's a sellers market for buy games and the Sunbelt teams of the world realize that so they're holding out for $1,000,000 guarantees. That's about what we clear for a home game and if we paid it all out in a guarantee we'd be left with virtually nothing.

A win over JSU will count towards bowl eligibility.

only because you said "every year in Starkville."If this were the case, I'd take it. I just dont think you could get that accomplished

Just look at LSU and Ole Miss... How many season ticket holders actually went to school there? 60% ?

Watching us beat the **** out of ANYONE after the years we have suffered through will be a "great" game.

Still one of my favorite games is when we beat Fullerton St. 47-3 in Jackie's first game. That's when I knew things were different now. I still remember thinking, "We used to beat teams like this 20-13."

Under current regulations, in order for this to occur, a team must record at least six wins in the standard 12-game schedule, <span style="font-weight: bold;">which may include one win against a Division I FCS scholarship-awarding[1] opponent</span>, and the team must not be on probation.

South Carolina and Clemson have done similar schedules by rotating and playing South Carolina State, Furman, Wofford and Citadel.

of actual alumni is a lot bigger. LSU and Bama - your number might be right.

I wasn't sure about that, thanks for clearing that up.

I just don't think we gain anything by doing it. I know, I know we get 7 home games but, is that the best we can do for a home/home team. If so, then the only way I buy is if we rotate the other schools in MS. Then the money stays in Mississippi and is spread around the state and then it's a win-win but, that wasn't in the buy/sell. I personally don't have a problem with a home away with NE Louisiana or a home-away with Memphis or other schools close to the state line. Memphis is like a home-home for me so it's like I get 7 home games anyway.

I guess I still say....sell. </p>

 

[Porkchop.sixpack]

the freakin' band is going to rock. And I don't have to risk getting shot in Jackson to watch them now.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

If things go smooth...win or lose...not a problem, but...I'll hold off voting until after that.

Why do you insist on us playing Memphis. We need to play a team our first game in a new system that we can hopefully beat the **** out of. It will be fun watching this new offense hang 50 on JSU. It could also be a big confidence booster. I also agree with the little brother thing. If we show JSU fans a good time, maybe they will pull for us in future games, and maybe come to a couple games to party in the Junction. Huge buy for me.
