OK Dawgs, my first genuine MSU rumor

that we discussed with USM about future baseball expansion and how to incorporate double wides with our outfield lounge area to give it the complete look.
As good as your football expansion is, I can't get over how bad your baseball expansion looks. And we here at SixPackSpeak.com love to dwell on the negative.

Probably not every year, but occasionally. The price of buy games has skyrocketed with the addition of the 12th game. If we can't do any better than home-and-home with the likes of LA Tech and MTSU, we may as well play an occasional home game with USM, which would draw an additional 10,000 fans. Counting ticket sales, concessions and parking, that's an easy $500,000 additional revenue for us. And no, we wouldn't have to split that with USM because the flat guarantee we pay them would be offset by the guarantee we receive from them the following year.
the only reason usm wants to play in state schools is because they have an inferiority comlpex. You guys aren't a bad team! You don't have to play us to make yourselves feel better. Just do your thing against Tulane etc and be happy. We have to worry about LSU every year. We don't need USM riding our coat tails every time they manage to beat us. it's like playing a girl in that if we win we are supposed to, if we lose we get laughed at.....BY USM PEOPLE. Basically you are calling yourself girls by demanding to play us.
and scheduling football- first of all, I think that Byrne is going to increase our revenue, probably to the point where we still won't have to play USM.
Secondly, our "scheduling" was mainly because LT decided to schedule these "series" one year in advance. We need to start scheduling games NOW for the next few years so that we don't have to play MTSU home and home.
Thirdly, our scheduling is also a product of LT being cheap.

Agree that Byrne will grow the revenue. Our budget increased from $28M last year to $32M this year. I predict we'll be at $40M in 4 years.
Not defending LT's scheduling at all (he had us playing 6 road games on a regular basis even before the 12th game was added), but we're not the only school having trouble finding buy games at anywhere near a reasonable price. I think (hope) we should be able to negotiate 2-for-1's with the LA Tech's and MTSU's of the world in the future. But I think the days of buying games from schools like that are quickly coming to an end for lower revenue BCS conference schools.
LT cheap? Surely you jest.
about Byrne sightings over at Barnhills near USM's campus.
/and since this thread was highjacked about 4 times so far I would like to say that I am excited that Byrne is starting to do things like this. He may turn out to be better than any of us would reasonably allow ourselves to imagine.

Low blow putting up the double wide picture, DS. If Corky ever gets out of a regional, we'll brick up his stadium.
