Heres's an idea though: What about Ole Miss? They are in the SEC, usually weak, but still give us credibility if we one. Further, travel time isn't bad. I remember when we played them in 98 and almost beat them. Either way, I just want to play some big tradional programs that are interesting. I really don't care who it is.

Ole Miss was a great home/home and I'd like to see them again. Our problem is finding a way to attract 32,000 (full price) paying customers. We are reaching a point where we can only get home games with other programs who can't attract flies. We've been fortunate to have TTech coming in here as often as they have.

Fortunate? Tech should be lucky we put them on the schedule.

Sorry, but Sam Houston is a 4th Tier situation.

So are...

University of Houston

University of Southern Mississippi

University of Texas El Paso

University of Memphis

East Carolina University

Marshall University (Regional Ranking)

I'm not going to argue with that. It helps my point, I mean if we already have 5 fourth tier situations scheduled that we can't avoid, why add more for are non-conferance games?

because we need to save room for the Pillow Fight games against the Tier 1 schools like Rice and Tulane and the Traditional Classic against Tulsa.

I'll buy that: Pony Up = FFR

Anything less is not worth it or, as the current coaching staff called it, "All Out!"

"All Out", is how I will always remember the Bennett Regime. Too bad SMU wasnt playing the Texas School for the Deaf that day.

We should just drop football and bring back baseball and track.

by **Ponyx2** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 7:23 pm

Dropping football isn't the answer. As a matter of fact, that's the WORST thing we could do. The problem has been a lack of commitment to excel. For far too long we've been not only accepting of mediocrity, we've encouraged it. Finally we have an AD in Orsini who is saying the right things and so far his actions have created some rays of hope. We just have to see how he delivers on this hire. At least for the first time in a long, long time I'm optimistic.

Sorry to get on my high horse. I'm overly sensitive to that kind of talk. And I hope you get baseball back. Didn't they drop that in the mid 70s?

by **Pony94** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 7:31 pm

Yeah...I think it was dropped to make soccer a real sport...not just club...but I dont want to be quoted on that...
