I do respect the USM program, with which Bower has done an admirable job, but all the chest-puffing gets mighty old. Let them play an SEC schedule instead of CUSA, and see how things turn out for them. Neither Ole Miss nor State plays them because there's nothing to gain and everything to lose by doing so.

Remember, along with the SEC schedule, we'd have improvements in recruiting and that BCS welfare check.
I like our chances.
and you're protesting "chest-puffing" by more chest-puffing . . .
Another reality: Recruiting the blue chips is tough for all three of MS's D-1A schools precisely because we have three D-1A schools in a very unpopulated state. There's no solution for the problem, but tis a reality we all face each recruiting season.
