SBC 2023 cross division football games

We will never play USM on a Saturday as long as both schools are relevant in the conference. That’s unfortunate.

This is why we can't have nice things

Southern Miss and New Mexico State finished the season with winning records.

*Regular season*

NMST had to get a waiver and USM beat the other waiver team

Fair enough.

Let’s all remember that we were saying the same thing last year, more so about how easy the schedule was, and it turned out to be very difficult.

So that leaves drivable road games as:
UAB
South Alabama
Arkansas State
Troy

The Minnesota game is drivable if your a little unhinged like me. Lol. Driving thru Western Arkansas is the only annoying part. Wish they would finish I49 already.

If I could get the whole week off I'd pick up my cousin in Rockford and Madison and spend a few days in the Dells. Some great memories at the Ho-Chunk Casino.

The SBC needs to do what the SEC has done with 2 Divisions. Have a designated rival program to play from the East Division yearly rotating home and home. And the second game outside of our Division would rotate all other members of the Eastern Division. Our designated rival could be App. State, feed off the heated competition and help your conference members grow attendance and television game of the week in the SBC.

That will pack ‘em in. USM is the big draw and watch, midweek game.

Gross

[CajunNation]

App was turning into a great rivalry. By the time we play CCU again everyone who was here when they ducked us will be gone.
USM will be our best home game in several
Years. Hope it's a Saturday.

I was discussing reasons for the poor attendance in another thread, and I forgot this crap right here.

Midweek games are attendance destroyers.

Why are we going to UAB again?

I know we scheduled them last minute due to the Covid schedule, but should they not be coming here? Or is this just part of a different agreement?

Because they have a nice new stadium . . . isn’t that what AD’s do, schedule you to play in nice stadiums . . .

Different agreement
