Guess the pitfall of the tv contract $$ as USM is getting $1.85 million for the game on September 21, 2019.

the next four years has us at Tennessee (17) and host Kentucky (17), at Auburn (18), at Alabama (19) and at Auburn (20).

That's what I'm talking about! Maybe USM AD can show Tech's AD how it's done....

The 2 Auburn games are $1.7 mil (2018) and $1.85 mil (2020).

Good luck with that game.

J/k. The players want to play in games like that, it's why they play football

That's great! Other than the money part...USM needs games like these. I like the idea of playing the SEC again. Mississippi State the last two years...Kentucky and LSU this season..Kentucky next season..and Auburn and Alabama in the future. Kinda sounding like the old days again!

We beat'em about once every 8 games (wait..that's just me braggin' again..if you consider THAT braggin'), so maybe we are due? yeah right..

We would play bama for a quarter of that cost. But they won't return our number when we make a call. (I'm not kidding btw, we have tried)

Ain't THAT the truth.

You're not missing out on anything. They would just turn the sprinklers on right before a critical 3rd down play in a close game.

kudos and to that scheduling and to lightening the mood of "sprinklers"....it would be nice to take down "shooter" one last time before I turn to dust....

Another big step backwards. Taking the easy way out over the years is why we have been left behind by many schools.

I've got no problem with it. Lots of money and we might win one every now and then.

You know, if So Miss were in the AAC then they would be hosting Alabama. With all that FBS history under the belt, they deserve it!

I'd take the lucrative pay game at Bryant-Denny over not playing them at all

We've never played them outside of the state of Alabama. You need big uglies to hang with Bama. They'll always have more than you, but if your first team can hang, and they make some mistakes... Bama is a good measuring stick regardless. You play your best and hold onto that level of play, conference play is a breeze.

Nice job. Great get.

Not true. I believe we played them in Jackson during the Bear's reign.

And if you think Sunbelt officials are bad, try hanging onto a small lead against Bammer in Tuscalooser

Lememe try to understand dis thingy
A). Southern Miss has all this history. Just look at how we beat Bama, LSWho, Euburn, Flowwwrida State etc. we'z is awesome
B). Southern Miss is to good for CUSA. Unjustly left behind. Dammit ELoss we blame you ole man
C). AAC Teams don't wanna none of dis. Look at our record against you

But wait there is more
D) why we scheduling a Sunbelt Team? Home and home? Are you crazy. We need real competition
E). AD is CRAZY. Ho'ing Southern Miss out to the likes of Bummer, LSWHO, Euburn etc. we ain't ho's y'all. Dang Pimp

Believe you get the drift. So WTF should we be scheduling? Just curious

Don't forget Tennessee next year also. I believe the game is the first weekend in November so my guess is we are their homecoming.
