Really, playing southern miss won't do us any good if they are an 0-12 team, but we could sure lose a lot from it. So really it's negative negative. Really no sense.

I wonder what's better for Tuscaloosa's economy:
Having a team that's an hour away drive over, watch the game, have a meal, and leave town
OR
Have a team that's several hours away fill thousands of hotel beds, and buy multiple meals?
Not to mention the extra tax dollars the state of Alabama gets.

I was talking with my boss about this just this afternoon. I told him that while Byrne had good intentions with this it was really a dumb move. Miss State has nothing to gain and everything to lose. I used this analogy to better make my point.
"MSU playing USM is like fighting a retarded kid when you were in school. If you win... Congrats, you just beat up a retarded kid, a-hole. If you lose... Well you just got you arse kicked by a retarded kid. Good luck living that one down."

When I saw this thread title and that it got to 8 pages, I just knew it would be a bunch of Ags biting hard. Turned out much better than I expected

Why should Alabama play little scrub teams and give them legitimacy. UAB has shitty football, wants the state taxpayers to pay for a new stadium that they wouldn't even fill.

Because small states like Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama don't really have the population base (despite having the best recruits per capita) to support more than 1 or 2 relevant D-1 schools at a time. With their small populations (this being especially true in Mississippi), there are only so many recruits to go around.

Updated: From a popular question that keeps appearing, did Texas A&M leave their conference because of having to play in-state rival Texas every year?
Sure we did. We were so scared of playing Texas every year that we now play a team every year that made their entire program quit.
