I would call that an upgrade in scheduling.
I could buy Crimson red, erect a shrine to the Bear in my den and start Screaming "Roll Tide" tomorrow. I could buy a ton of Orange stuff, some
orange socks, orange tassle loafers and learn the words to Rockytop tonight. I could buy a case of cheap corn whiskey and find a table in the grove Saturday -
I own Dockers, have a freshly laundered heavily starched white button down collar shirt and a $300.00 Blue Blazer in my closet. I could fake all of that OM
stuff until I got good at it - Why, just listen to me, "Hotty Toddy - where's my ice" - sounds authentic doesn't it? I know people who suck
crawfish heads and follow them up with a corn dog. I like gumbo and Old Crow. I could root for the Tigers down in Red Stick (WHo dat?) right away. -

we will have to lose that one so UCLA will not let some things out about Sidney.

I would be more for it if it wasn't in Anaheim. Maybe like Coaches vs Cancer or something like that.

This is basically a road game. I am not in favor of this at all, unless there is more to it, like perhaps a game next year at a truly neutral site, or
something.

Maybe ucla will have a rival school there that we can teach the fight song too like we tried to do with unc when we played duke in the tourney

and a probable loss playing UCLA in front of a home crowd. Should help the RPI, though, I suppose.

I would be more for it if it were in a truly neutral location, like, New York or Tampa. We're basically playing them at home with no return game.

Welcome to the reality of MSU "upgrading" their schedule.
We're basically playing them at home with no return game. |

I don't see how it can hurt. Helps your RPI and strength of schedule | #16 | ||

could possibly be a loss, but I still think it's good for your season.

...Stans and Peaches.
Seriously, our RPI will likely go up win or lose, and if we were to win, it would be huge on our resume and for our seeding. Plus, it's against an NCAA tournament type team in an NCAA type setting. It can't do anything but help our team. |

....we gave up a game with Gardner Webb to do this. For shame. For shame.

i'm sure it'll be a nationally televised game. maybe CBS will carry it. good exposure, and i guess we were going to have to essentially play a road
game to get a game like this. it's at least a step in the right direction. didn't mich st play unc and/or uk at ford field this year and last year?
were there return games in that series?

Yes we do lose a home game, but we do get a definate RPI boost by replacing Gardner Webb with UCLA. This is supposed to be our year as well, so I see nothing
wrong with this team going out west in a hostile enviornment against a high profile program to get some experience in that type of environment.
