RE: ECU announces home-and-home series with Georgia State
You know what, maybe this is a good thing, and we just need the rest of the American schools to follow along. Schedule as many cupcakes as possible. Then, all of our records will be elevated when conference play starts. Also, we should start putting our FCS games late in the year. Let's all schedule like Alabama.

RE: ECU announces home-and-home series with Georgia State
Also, maybe we can get Mike Aresco involved... have him announce that all American schools must play 1 P6 opponent OOC each year. And then start announcing exceptions, like Boise State counts as a P6 school for scheduling purposes. He could even troll a little bit and say Wake Forest does NOT count as a P6 OOC opponent.

No kidding. I get that playing in Atlanta can be good for recruiting, but I'd rather recruit against Ga Tech than Ga State.

Good idea. If UCF taught us anything last year, it's that an undefeated season in our conference is nothing without a Sun Belt win.

I'd happily have USM back on the schedule for a home and home skipping a year between games.

Seriously? Don't come over here with that crap. We have been your b*tch for far too long. You continuously treat us like some cheap tramp and walk all over us. No more...we are free from that annual ******.
I don't want to play you anymore...tired of losing.

RE: ECU announces home-and-home series with Georgia State
Hell, we can't say anything. We were supposed to start a H&H with Georgia State this past season, but a hurricane delayed that. They're coming to Memphis this season, and we go to Atlanta in 2025.
Other future H&H's for Memphis include..
North Texas
UT-San Antonio
South Alabama
Arkansas State
In the middle of a H&H with UL-Monroe
Troy
Mississippi State
Missouri
Not the best....but I imagine H&H's with Power 5s are probably getting harder and harder to come by.

Well, I can see Arky St since it's only an hour away and we have some history with them, but not the others. I mean a HH with ULM? lol
Much rather get USM on the schedule for a HH, or even UAB or MT. Then pick up some deadbeat Pac10 or Big10 teams for HHs. Why not Vandy or KY? Or Syracuse or BC? Don't we still have Ole Miss coming to town at some point, or is that now dead?

RE: ECU announces home-and-home series with Georgia State
I think the conference needs to adopt G4 Scheduling Guidelines.
Only schedule a H&H with a G4 if...
1. it's a regional (easily drive-able) game.
2. you have a storied history with said G4 program.
3. it's a top G4 program (ie Boise).

Here's the rub. What do you do when P5's won't do home and homes? That's where we're headed.
We've got a buy game coming up with Purdue. First buy game I can remember Memphis doing in a long time.
