This is the most recent 2010 schedule I have.

9/4: @Georgia
9/11: @Ohio
9/18: Open
9/25: Oklahoma State
10/2: Western Kentucky
10/9: @North Texas
10/16: Arkansas State
10/23: @Florida Atlantic
10/30: Florida International
11/6: @Ole Miss
11/13: Middle Tennessee
11/20: @ULM
11/27: @Troy

We need to be 1-1 with an open date to start the season. A loss to Ok State at home followed by 5 wins going into the Ole Miss game. A loss to Ole Miss and we are 6-3 with 3 games left for that illusive 7th game. Win one of three minimally and we are 7-5 and bowl bound, maybe 8-4 with MT at home. THAT should be the minimum expectation for next year for Bustle and staff.

If you're a mid major like us, that usually happens every 2 or 3 years.

With the schedule we have, going 6 and 6 will be pretty good. AD and Asst AD cannot continue to put the team in such a hole... 3 money games against strong BCS programs.

Complete horse hockey.

We HAVE to start the season at home with a winnable opponent. Period. End of story.

Win, first. Then get paid.

To do otherwise is insanity. We should not be looking for win No. 1 in weeks 3-5. Ever.

That is why fans like us need to get heavily involved with contributing to the RCAF. Once we start getting serious money coming into the RCAF to help support the entire athletic program, the A.D. will be able to start relying less and less on guarantee money from football.

It would certainly help to play a winnable first game like we did this year, and we can blame our AD for that, but the schedule is what it is. Most people here say the SBC is now on a par with at least the MAC, WAC (except for Boise State) and C-USA. Well, here is Ohio on our schedule who is heavy with seniors this year. It should be a winnable, albeit a toss-up, game. We need to win at least 6, if not 7, SBC games and we are in a bowl. Why is that impossible this year?

Troy lost to Bowling Green, Florida and Arkansas, yet beat UAB and went undefeated in conference for a 9 win season. MT beat Memphis and Maryland plus 7 conference wins for a 9 win season.

Quit complaining about scheduling. It is time for this program to move up after 8 years of rebuilding. We beat K State last year. Let's build on that. We can win 7 games on this schedule and go to a bowl game. After 8 years of rebuilding and several 6-6 seasons, this should minimally be doable. Why do we play 1A football? How do you ever improve the worse conference in the country if you don't play better competition? How do you think S. Miss or E. Carolina or Boise State or TCU got to where they are? Either we are 1A or not. It is time to quit pretending and prove it on the field.

This year 1A OOC schedule:

Troy - Bowling Green, Florida, UAB, Arkansas
MT - Clemson, Memphis, Maryland, Miss State
N Texas - Ball State, Ohio, Alabama, Army
Ark. State - Nebraska, Iowa, Louisville
FAI - Nebraska, S. Carolina, Wyoming, UAB
FIU - Alabama, Rutgers, Toledo, Florida
ULM- Texas, Arizona State, Kentucky
WKU - Tennessee, S. Florida, Navy
UL - LSU, Nebraska, K State

HoustonCajun, you and I are in alignment with the view of the 2010 season. Although the schedule is difficult, I am by no means seeing it as impossible to navigate a winning season out of it.

It's not impossible. It's far from it. Some people just choose to stay PO'd longer than others and assume the same mediocrity will creep in next year. It may do that but I'm hopeful that we can get there. The SBC loses a lot of premier players this year and many of the teams at the top lost a lot of lettermen. We will bring back perhaps the most experienced team in the SBC next year and for that I think we can win 6-7 games.

[Hardcore]

I agree with Cajunsmike & HoustonCajun. Yes, the schedule is not the best but we will have a lot of experience returning and should be one of the favorites to win conference in 10'.

For those of you who wish to keep griping about the schedule, I challenge you and 998 others to put up $1,000 and I will do the same. With $1,000,000 we can afford to give up one of these $ games and get us a winable home game. Until such time, IT IS WHAT IT IS!
