Buy/Sell: This brutal schedule...

in Mullen's first season has been good for him and the team in the long run.

but it didn't do **** for them this year. I get it when UGA and Texas and some others play a decent out of conference team. But let's face it -- year in and year out, teams like OM and MSU need to play cupcakes and then do their damndest to go 4-4 in conference.

We get rid of Ga Tech, but we go to Oxford, Tuscaloosa, Houston, Gainesville, and Baton Rouge. We also drop Vandy and add Georgia. We will be lucky to win 2 of those 5, and we might not be favored in any of those 5 away games no matter who we have at QB. The young guys got great experience this year, but going to these places is going to be brutal. We have a much more manageable non conference schedule,which should help us get to a bowl game. We could win all 4 non conference, and have a good chance against Georgia, Kentucky, and Ole Miss.

A bowl game would have been good for Mullen and the team in the long run. And if that idiot Templeton had scheduled properly, we'd have been playing in one.

Next year I believe we'll be truly free and clear.

But we're close.</p>

more exposure and an extra month of practice. THAT would be good in the long run.

is quite manageable- Two of those road games are at places like Memphis and UAB, which with the way our fans travel, will essentially be neutral site games.

Then we have what most likely will be our toughest non-conference opponent- La Tech at home. And I guess Valley, assuming that they are still around of course.

For the same reason as Patdog. The extra practice would have done our team some good, and even Birmingham would have been a nice reward for the team for working hard all year.
