Interesting! Schlabach has us playing Tulsa in the Liberty Bowl. Isn't that where the old OC went

can't remember his name).

Mahlzon (sp) is the coach there and did very well last year. They just don't have much in the way of defense.

How can you say that? They held their opponents to 32 points per game.

Does Bruce Feldman not realize that Ole Miss cannot play against the Mustard Buzzards in the Liberty Bowl? Playing against Tulsa would be a decent game.

It is an odd rule, so I don't blame Feldie for not knowing it. What I have heard is that if both teams have decent (8 win) seasons, the AD's would be willing to waive the ban for one year. Ultimately, however, I don't think we should play USM and the Malzhan/Nutt match up would be very compelling.

I wish it could happen if for no other reason than to make the arkie fans shut up.

So... What's the deal with us playing USM? I don't know this rule.

Yeah, why can't we play Southern Miss?

There is some rule that if a CUSA team and a SEC team from the same state are the teams slotted to play, they don't have to play. Such as, Alabama would not be matched with UAB, or Ole Miss vs. USM.

The Liberty Bowl can't even schedule it, can they? I thought it was a rule, not an option, but I may be wrong on that.

Also in that rule is that no regular season repeat matches can happen. For instance, this year the Liberty Bowl cannot be Ole Miss-Memphis because it will happen in the regular season.
