What is everyone's opinion of college having a preseason game like the NFL. After watching 2 horrible games on ESPN last night, I would like to see some games that allow teams to play in a real game atmosphere and get all the horrible execution out of the way. Revenue would be a plus as well (tickets, food, etc....although it would not be a lot). Maybe even play some teams at a neutral location to allow some people who can't come to regular season games to see a game or two.
Don't know if its been discussed here, but......
- Thread starter youngster
- Start date
that's how he treated La Tech. I think he even called it a preseason game one time, but I've tried to block that game out of my memory.
That said, I think it would be cool if college football had a jamboree like the high schools do. I know if there was one in Starkville with some teams like Delta State, Jackson State, and someone like a Arkansas State (random example), I would go to it.

this ever happening. I don't really have a preference either way. I do however, think we should play a game the caliber that we're playing tomorrow for the first game instead of opening with an Oregon, which we've done or an LSU, which we've done, etc.
Tomorrow SHOULD be as close to a preseason game as we'll ever come.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I always wanted to see JUCO football affiliated with Universities. For example Hinds CC is connected with Miss State. All Miss State guys who do not qualify to get in would go to Hinds CC. Every SEC school have a JUCO team with their scholarship on that roster. It could be called JUCOSEC or some other dumb name and they only play the JUCO in that conference. Just a thought.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
For years Ricks College was a red shirt school for BYU. It was a church owned Junior College in Idaho and their football team was always ranked in the top 5. Now they are a four year school call BYU Idaho and do not have a football team.</span></p>

I could see an MSU vs. some lower school friendly match in spring happening if the NCAA allowed it. Agree on some sort of handicap such as spotting the lower team points, requiring MSU more yards for a 1st down, changing the value of TDs and FGs, etc. Also implement the usual type of exhibition rules (no blitzing, no fake punts, etc.) Sure it would not be as interesting as a real game, but seeing as its not a real game I don't want anyone getting hurt. I'd hate to see a player end his career for an April win over Millsaps.
so I'm sure he would have loved one exhibition game to start off with. Maybe due to all those years in the NFL he had no clue how to get a team prepared without having multiple preseason games.
