It's a decent schedule but if I were an AD, I would look at scheduling like this.... I can't help my conference slate but I would want my OOC slate to be games that I have a 50/50 chance of winning. Alcorn has a 100% chance of losing both games. I would ask myself, where I want this team to be in 5 years. If my team went 2-9 last year, my goal would be to have some winning seasons but I would not have scheduled pushovers to get those winning seasons. I would have tried to see if I could schedule maybe a home-home with Howard and maybe home game this year with Albany State and a home game in 2013 with Fort Valley State. IF we get 6 and 7+ win seasons, I would then up the game. I would try to schedule Southeastern LA and NCA&T with Home-Homes. I we are below 0.500 after 4 years (if we not above 0.500 by now, it's time for new coach). If am above 0.500. I don't know where I would go but depending on if the fan base has picked up, I will probably go for an additional home game (vs Morehouse/Delta State) and then pick a school my fans can travel to.. like Samford. Now, if I had 4 OOC games to work with, I could add more variety but the bottomline... Arkansas State and James Madison are not what Alcorn should be focusing on right now. They need winning seasons. Not more losses. If I thought Alcorn could get 7 or 8 conference wins, I would agree that James Madison and Arkansas make sense but in their present state, they need to schedule with the 50/50 mentality.[/QUOTE
GREAT COMMENT!!!!!!! Well said!!!!!!!! i wish ATL BRAVE and his other Alcorn people would understand that. They just happy to be playing a top FCS school. Whoever there head coach is. They setting him up to get fired at the end of the season.
