Aren't they playing at Reliant next year?

Aha, so A&M will be the target of LSU's schedule fury this year?

Matters... They played the easiest OOC schedule in the conference this year and went 8-4 with Manziel running the show.

This year's schedule was easier and we still went 6-6, I wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah y'all took SHSU from us and we couldn't get New Mexico St so........

Is this what is felt like for LSU fans when the flagship wouldn't stop obsessing over them? I hate being the coonass's big brother... Arky can you fire
Bielema and get a real coach so we can get a better rival?

Who is Lamar? Can't even schedule a whole team, just one brother?

Only 6 home games...

They must have an eternal contract with Rice and SMU.

Well....
A) these agreements are made well in advance. Many of these were probably made when they were still Bevo XII
B) many are in-state. A public institution keeping revenues in-state.... hmmmm, I've seen plenty of arguments for doing just this from several fanbases. Including my own fanbase of LSU (or a portion of it); many would rather play Tech or McNeese than have Kent or Towson come in.
C) The SEC sets some of these "cupcakes" based on geography (e.g. Ga Southern, UAB) as part of the SEC's support of the region. Both Mizzou and TAMU will get transitioned to that. Much might not change for TAMU, the SEC wants it's footprint all over TX as much as possible. Hence, TAMU will continue to play the likes of Rice.
In the end, because of equal distribution of revenues means (C) benefits all schools in the SEC.

Not much different than LSU. Sure LSU has Wisconsin but you only play the Gators and Kentucky from the East. TAMU has Mizzou and the Cocks. Seems about equal to me.
But don't let that stop you guys from bitching. We know how much you love to schedule bitch.

Everyone laughed last year as well and we ended with the #6 toughest schedule when all was said and done per the NCAA. You never know.

Actually Missouri and Carolina from the East should be no cakewalk.

The one thing... OK, one of two things, I can't figure is why A&M would agree to play SMU in Dallas. Unless I misunderstand the split, SMU would be better off playing in College Station, too. And it's not like they have a home field advantage, so why do this?
#2. Lamar. There's just no excuse for that. I refuse to believe A&M couldn't find a better opponent. Even one they were guaranteed to beat. What does beating Lamar by 50 get you? Note that I'm not letting Georgia Southern opponents off. But I'd like to see A&M get better opponents.

Bye week before LSU and ULM? A&M scared of Louisiana

At least they start off with a tough opponent. Don't worry Aggies, USC will boost y'all's SOS ratings. Unfortunately, y'all will start off with a loss.
