TMC meant the '16 game was a return at Kyle for the '12 game where we played them in Shreveport.

exactly. When we were desperate for a game in '12 because of the conference change, we agreed to a home/home with La Tech. We'd never do that. 2 for 1 maybe, but we had to have someone that could play on a specific weekend with 1-year notice.

We didn't want to play without a bye week so our options were incredibly limited. We offered them to play in CS because we also needed a home game to get to 6 (SMU was on road that year). They refused but did agree to put their home game in Shreveport. Their refusal led to us having to move the Ark game to home/home to get to the NCAA required 6 but for Jerry to agree, we had to extend the SW Classic deal.

Then they moved the game for a faux hurricane and forced us to play without bye anyway. And we couldn't cancel the game as we already had 2 FCS schools on the schedule due to our pure desperation. It would have left us with only 9 FBS games.

Essentially they fricked us because we were desperate. And now they cancelled our future home game. They better not ever need a favor from us

Ah, thanks. I still don't get the animosity, though. Unless people are mad about rescheduling the '12 game because of the weather threat. If that's it, ya'll need to grow the hell up. No offense or anything.
