I think we'll make a half-hearted attempt at moving the date, and then opt for the buyout.

can we put texas State back on the schedule? maybe we can duplicate our 2008 record.

Careful. The Bobkitties are in the NCAA Div. 1 FCS playoffs. :shock:

the buyout needs to be HUGE then

Stallion · Post by **Stallion** » Fri Nov 28, 2008 4:55 pm

I'm sure its the standard contractual buyout. Probably $100,000 or so. It should already be in the contract when it was signed-it generally isn't a later negotiable issue.

Sam Houston State had a better record this season than SMU. Bearkats went 4-6 with 1 game cancelled (SHSU v Prairie View A&M) due to Hurricane Ike. Lost to Texas State in OT by a field goal.

The deal is done-SMU and Missouri have cancelled both the 2009 and 2010 games-No buyout. Can you say Aloha.

Didn't I say this was going to happen two weeks ago? Pretty sure I did. rest assured, June has already told Orsini what to do with the open week-I-AA (or FCS team, for all you that are Bobcats fans). Anybody looking at the schedule realisticly could have predicted this.

OK. What the hell? I didn't predict the whole series would be cancelled. What will we do for the 12th game? If we go to Hawaii, what will we do with the 13th?

Stallion · Post by **Stallion** » Fri Nov 28, 2008 6:58 pm

I predict we play Hawaii AND another Division 1AA team or NTSU.

Then what do we do with the 13th? Little late to be looking for a I-A opponent.

Hawaii would be a much better road trip than Missouri.
