re: Next big OOC team you really want to schedule

I think by "big" you mean AQ, so that leaves Boise out. They should have joined the Pac-whatever last year.

Of the AQ schools, I think it should be Michigan. We've never played them - not even in a bowl. I don't think the home-and-home will work, but maybe in Indianapolis, Dallas, or Atlanta.

We lose a ton of money with the home-and-home series - only six home games this year, for example. Seven last year. That's three home games in two years we didn't get. That's a lot of scratch to give up.

But a neutral-site game like last week could work.

Other than Michigan...

Clemson (show them the real meaning of "Death Valley" and teach them how to play Tiger Rag like it should be),

I'd like to see us tie in for a true "Year of the Tiger". Play Clemson, Missouri, Memphis, and Auburn all in the same year (the only five teams w/ "Tiger" in the nickname).
