The week before Ole Miss. Apologies if Germans, I'd not seen this anywhere previously.

Are we sure it's not to take the place of OM? Just kidding; sort of.

I wish we could have been doing this the past 10 years...playing a non conference the week before OM. Now that they are getting ready to head downward we decide to make the change.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Heh. I checked the schedule on the site. Last regular season game is on November 30 which makes the SEC Championship Game on.... December 7.

That's fantastic news.

I wonder if Larry Templeton's going to be upset about us scheduling that in the place of our traditional pre-Egg Bowl Arkansas rivalry game?

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Damned - I really miss LT!

Much needed move. Especially with the Egg Bowl being a short week the next week.

 

[patdog]

Yeah. I don't mind too much playing an SEC game the week before the Egg Bowl since both teams are coming off an SEC game as long as the Egg Bowl is played on Saturday. But if we're going to be playing on Thursday, we need to insist on an open conference date the week before. And that may be what we did.
