BREAKING NEWS: SEC Team to Travel

[Danimal]

Mizzou will be helped by getting Texas the week after the RRS.

I gotta give OU the inside-track on the con, they are the champs and return plenty, but anything can happen, the 12 should be very good this year.

I'm interested in seeing what the horns do with Muschamp revitalizing the D.

Sam,

I've read on the ND homer boards that 'Bama contacted ND about a home-and-home and White turned Moore down flat. Do you know anything about that?

Fwiw, if I were Kevin White (and thankfully I'm not), I'd write to Moore and say simply, "Are you interested in a home-and-home series with us?". If the answer came back something like, "Yes, but we only have open dates in September, so I guess you're not interested," I'd then get out the contracts with Michigan State and Purdue, find the first date that we're not tied down to one of those schools, and write back "We can fit you in in 2015 and 2016" or whatever. Once the ink from that deal was dry, I'd write to the AD at either Michigan State or Purdue, and say something like "Gee, we'd love to keep you on the schedule, but September is completely full in 2015 and 2016. Unless you can fit in a game later in the season, we're going to have to take you off for those years." That would kill two birds with one stone.

Btw, Moore was briefly an assistant football coach at ND during the Faust era, so perhaps he has a vested interest in getting a series done with ND. As bad, and as poorly coached, as the Faust teams were, it's amazing what some of the assistants from that era have gone on to do since.
