Plus they get A&M at home


Last time they had A&M at home, it was 31-0 A&M before they could even realize what happened.

They won't host game day

Most likely won't beat st


But they will be pretty decent this year.

Your opinion isn't holding much ground since your previous posts show that you don't really know what you are talking about

potential

Why am I not surprised your sports knowledge is on the same level as your reading comprehension.

Mobile is a growing market and South plays 2 SEC schools this season.

If they can do a game at North Dakota St., the can do a game at South Alabama


It is? I thought the town was fairly stagnant.

Out of curiosity, do the people of Mobile support and attend games of South Alabama? Mobile's breakdown always struck me as...

Alabama - 60%
Auburn - 30%
LSU/Ole Miss - 10%

Well your the one thinking those other teams wouldn't get gameday that week because they have bigger games down the road

Absolutely. Mobile has one of the fastest growing economies in the nation. In relation, people are wanting to find ways to have pride in their town. South Alabama is really the only sports team (RIP Mysticks) in the city.

It is slowly growing. I mean South has only been a team for 4 years. So obviously it isn't huge yet. But that MSU game will fill up Ladd.

It fluctuates on who is good that year

There is actually a larger amount of LSU fans than you would think. Lots of LA natives here. Better area to raise a family and not too far away from the rest of the family that is still in Louisiana.

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

They also have the potential to host an ESPN Gameday during week 3 against Mississippi St.

I have contacts at the Battle House Renaissance and before each season, They are contacted by ESPN to reserve a small number of rooms for ESPN staff on weeks they will potentially be in town. Week 3 is the only week that would make somewhat sense for Gameday to be in Mobile
