What's up with the "Flex" schedules and double 11am HOME games at the end of the season.

The Georgia game is the same week as LSU-Bama which TV historically loves to have in the night window to itself as much as possible and put everything else semi-interesting earlier in the day.

The Egg Bowl is on Black Friday when there is also Texas vs A&M, Georgia vs Georgia Tech, and an NFL game, so we got just drew the short straw on that. I guess you can argue why play it on Black Friday then, but that’s another discussion.

Don’t know for sure but I think we have a good chance of getting a night kick. If you base it on where we are in the pecking order and what games have already been given times.

I dont want to become part of the board lexicon, but after the watching the conference in action yesterday I still dont see us winning an SEC game. Upsets happen, so theres always a chance, but we're the clear underdog in every game.

Florida might be in total disarray by the time we play them, and if we can hold them to 1 TD like USF and LSU did, then we have a chance. They probably think State is their chance for a win, too.

Georgia might not throw a single pass against us.

I kind of get the feeling the SBC, MWC and MAC are farm league for the Big 10 and SEC. A lot of talent comes out of the conferences for the P4 grab up.

FWIW, NIU is 128 out of 136 in both scoring offense and total offense so far (based on per game averages). This after playing Holy Cross and Maryland, mind you.

and on schedule to be 4-0 for the first time since 2014. Tennessee game week is going to be fun. Still not sure about the game but I'm going to enjoy it after the past 2 seasons.

Mannnnnn if Whitson wasn’t out I would feel so much better about UT. He is a dude.

State website has it as an afternoon-night flex window. For whatever that’s worth.

Lebby HAS to figure out a way to get to at least 5-7 (1-7). He will lose all momentum with another SEC goose egg. 6-6 would be a phenomenal job and create tons of momentum. 5-7 is good enough and shows we are progressing. Even though we will be underdogs every week, surely he can find at least 1 win in there.
