I wish it were the 2007 NC schedule
Posted: Thu Jul 13, 2006 7:50 amNext year we play Tech, UNT, TCU and Baylor in the NC schedule. That is a more interesting slate than this year. SHSU and Ark State just don't work for me.

Posted: Thu Jul 13, 2006 9:39 amIs it the opponents you're not interested in, or the quality of the games? The Ark St game should be a good matchup I think, didn't they win their conference?
Posted: Thu Jul 13, 2006 9:54 amIn my opinion, this year's schedule is perfect for this year's team. We've got a young, inexperienced QB and we have a team with enough experience to build on last season's season ending momentum. Throw in some games in September against teams from less competitive leagues and we have a chance to gain some confidence. While the matchups aren't going to do much for attendence, if we go 3-1 before the conference schedule starts, we should have a more experienced and confident QB, we should get some local media buzz, and maybe the students will maintain some interest. If we can then parlay that into a decent conference run, I'll be pleased with how this year's schedule fell into place. Of course, if we lose a few of these early games, we're hosed. Hopefully, the former occurs and then next season's schedule will fit our team (ideally coming off of its second winning season post-1986) perfectly.
Posted: Thu Jul 13, 2006 9:55 amOnce we show we have the capacity to win a game in September, I am all for a more difficult NC schedule. Until then, lets try to win a game or 2 at the beginning of the season to give confidence and hope for the remainder of the season.

Posted: Sat Jul 15, 2006 2:55 pmSMU turned down our offer to play this year . . . I guess the athletic department wanted that skillet one more year.
Great Schedule...
Posted: Sat Jul 15, 2006 7:17 pmIt should be more like that every year. Especially with us improving, eventually we can starting calling Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and Texas to play some ball, that might be around 2008 though.
GO PONIES!!!

When did they offer it? After we already had our Non Conference schedule filled up?
