You do realize is still building our program don't you? We aren't anywhere near the level of Bama or LSU.
Scheduling tough OOC games that we could lose aren't helpful considering the brutal SEC schedule we already play.

Yeah, I like what grasshopper and merlins are doing. No need for a strong OOC schedule. We just need to guarantee a bowl birth even if we can't win more than 2 SEC games, like last year. And hell, you need cupcakes between the Bama and LSUs to recover, rest, and gameplan.

So playing Alabama, Auburn, LSU, and Arkansas every year isn't "running with the big dogs" as you like to put it.
I guess you think we should schedule Florida State, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and USC in our out of conference.

This isnt basketball- strength of schedule doesnt matter...
State and Auburn were the only 2 teams in the nation to play 4 top 10 teams in 2011. How is that for scheduling? Bama played 2 in the regular season.

Diamondawg thinks he pays too much for his season tickets to have to watch us beat teams like Jackson State, Middle Tennessee, and South Alabama at home

Not a bad schedule at all for a SEC West team.
I see bowl eligibility in the Bulldogs future!

Going to bowl games every year improves recruiting
Improving recruiting leads to better teams
Better teams allow you to schedule more big teams for national TV
we have a plan in place- but it does take a little time to execute it

Diamonddawg gets to watch us play Auburn, Texas A&M, and Tennessee next year, in addition to a few other wins- he'll be fine

So playing Alabama, Auburn, LSU, and Arkansas every year isn't "running with the big dogs" as you like to put it.

You're seriously marking down Auburn as a definite win...again?! After what happened last season? Some people on this board never cease to amaze me.

No they won't. As long as we are winning big the fans will be happy.
We tried your scheduling method last method scheduling home and homes with Oregon, West Virginia, and Georgia Tech. That really helped us a TON. The only year we went to a bowl game in 2007 it was because we have an easy OOC.
