They need to move the MEAC/SWAC challenge back to Orlando.
I need a reason to check out that new Star Wars theme park.

Speaking of 2022, isn't that the year we are rumored to play in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge in Atlanta vs. Southern? Yes

We now have to wear our “big boy pants” all the time. i still say give me a "cupcake" for our season opener. doesn't have to be a "d2" team, it could be a "weak" fcs team. garner webb served that purpose before in the past or it could be a non-scholarship fcs team. i have always been and will always be an advocate of playing a cupcake game every year because it allows us to develop our bench, 3rd and 4th stringers get "extended" playing time that they might not otherwise get all season long. and yes, the "big boys" do it too and for good reason...

I understand the football logic. I’m just saying we’ve beaten our rival 99-0 over the last two years. Who’s gonna play us for what we will pay? Unless be can broker another home and home with an FCS opponent as you mentioned but I imagine it won’t be any “cupcakes”.

We would only have 4 home games and have our first 3 on the road if we don’t get this home game. Worse, we can only have 10 games, lose against Liberty and NDSU and have to run the table to make it back to Atlanta.

Well, it’s difficult to consistently go undefeated in conference.

Well, it’s difficult to consistently go undefeated in conference. yeah but that's gotta be our mentality, to control our own destiny and not rely on anybody else for help. bcu has been our friend the last couple of years, sooner or later that luck is gonna run out...
