Not to mention, over the past few weeks as I check records on Yahoo when I'm doing my game picks: WHERE do they get off dinging the BIG for scheduling nobodies at the beginning of the season? Have you LOOKED at the teams these guys schedule in NOVEMBER?!!! East-Effing-Cupcake Missouri. It's kind of insulting to read the records of these teams, and think that anyone is supposed to be impressed that they "dare" to play them in the waning days of the season.

The Big Ten has been bashed for at least as long as I've listened to national radio call-in shows for their weak Week 1 schedules. But nobody gives a hoot about the SEC's Week-before-last schedule.

I've listened to at least three different national podcasts, including ESPNU, that have bashed the SEC's absurd late OOC schedule. As they should.

But don't expect Phyllis from Mulga to be critical. :lol:

It's the Bama(SEC west) formula for winning. It's every week before the Auburn game. They like to schedule Miss St. after the LSU game and before the cupcake as well. If MSU continues at a higher level they might have to switch it. LSU gets the treatment and so does Auburn I believe.

From the Bama schedules the week before Auburn.

2008 Open Date
2009 Chattanooga Mocs
2010 Georgia State Panthers
2011 Georgia Southern Eagles
2012 Western Carolina Catamounts
2013 Chattanooga Mocs
2014 Western Carolina Catamounts
2015 Charleston Southern Buccaneers

It's just not at the end of the season either. Bama gets some nice schedule help all year. I don't say that to bash so much..but they don't play that brutal SEC schedule like some of the lower tier SEC teams have to. They get "breaks" before & after about every big game.

On a side note..have you seen who we have before our rivalry game next year? The BIG does no favors to us or itself scheduling like that.

1. My "national radio call-in shows" are limited to Sirius-XM - Bill King, Jack Arute, Mark Packer, etc. The general consensus is that the SEC is doing it right, and the Big Ten needs to copy the SEC.
2. I don't think that either conference is "doing it right". Meh - And by that, I mean "the way I'd like to see it done". If you have 12 games, play 12 real teams. I know that this is never going to actually happen, though.
3. There's also a good chance that I tune out when people call out the SEC for their schedule, and wake back up when "angry South Carolina fan" calls up and yells that the Big Ten should just give up and donate their pads to charity.

Here's the major part of your problem.

I'm convinced that one's IQ drops ten points for every hour one spends listening to that buffoon Packer. It's obvious he lacked the smarts to get into his old man's alma mater (Wake Forest), hence his Climpson College degree. And Arute is so busy kissing the asses of the over-the-road truckers that he has no clue what people with actual teeth might think.

Ha. Packer's a goob.

As for Arute, we can include Penn State fans in the group whose asses he wants to kiss.
