'Bama vs FSU 2017

[Drop.Tine]

I applaud Bama for doing this game. Should be the premiere game of the regular season.

Love it when teams aren't afraid to schedule out of conference like this. Sooners start a home and home with Ohio State on 2016. Was supposed to have LSU after that but they have already backed out.

 

[Drop.Tine]

Yessir. Wish it was a home series, but should be fun either way.

Though the last time they played it was supposed to lead to a three game series....that didn't happen when FSU won(2007).

I believe they have Ole'Miss in 2016 as well.

By then FSU will be coming off a pretty impressive recruiting stretch.

They have pretty impressive openers the next two years as well. BAMA vs Wisconsin at Cowboys stadium I believe this year and then versus USC next year.

Nebraska vs OU still on for 2020?

 

[MoSooner69]

Its 21 and 22, but yes, those games are still on the schedule

 

[Drop.Tine]

I find it interesting that Bama(and Ole'Miss) are looking for teams of high caliber to play. I was under the impression the SEC didn't have to play strong OOC opponents?

It's been a while since I looked into it. Glad to see it's still on. That's a fun rivalry that I miss seeing

Yeah, and Tennessee played at OU last year and will host the Sooners this year.. I guess, some do, some don't.

They don't. Neither does any other major conference team. I think it's dumb to do it.

I'm shocked Bama hasn't come knocking on your door for advice.

 

[wcowherd]

What's the upside of scheduling tough ooc games?

 

[Drop.Tine]

Well for one did you not pay attention what happened the last week of last season?

 

[wcowherd]

Are you talking about fsu almost choking against Florida? Is that somehow evidence that tough ooc games are a good idea?

Yes that is exactly what I am referring to.

 

[wcowherd]

Ok then?

I shouldn't have expected an intelligent argument from you. That's my bad.

Perhaps they should drop ISU and kU* to help their SoS.

Worked wonders for Mizzou's.

Really you expect an intelligent response from a half wit comment? Please boy

"Perhaps they should drop ISU and kU* to help their SoS.

I believe those teams won as many Big12 titles as the Tigers did.

And would get their butts kicked by the Tigers in today's reality. Mizzous program is exponentially ahead of where it was.

Just like some programs used to be powers but now are middling or worse yet their fans still think they're the cats meow. (not your team)

Remember that.
