An A&m fan in that thread yesterday the reason for the crappy teams they have now are because of the futures against Oregon and USC

Further, USC has stepped back from its once aggressive scheduling.
oops.
That 2013 arkiesaw non conference schedy looks brutal...
You just worry about trying to keep the game within 40 this year. I think that would show a nice improvement.

Those games are no longer part of A&M's plans, Hyman said, because "having switched from the Big 12 to the SEC, we've had to scrub our whole schedule - throw it almost out. Going forward, we've had conversations with people, but we really can't be contractually (obligated) until the conference says you've got the green light."
Slive said this week, moving forward, he intends for SEC schools to first receive their league game dates and then schedule non-conference contests around those.
"When we know what we've got and we know where the holes are and what we have to work with," Hyman said in regard to when scheduling can be tackled.
As for any future marquee non-conference opponents for A&M?
"We've had some general conversations with some people, and in time those conversations will spring into something more concrete," Hyman said.
Playing in Texas a lure
When the time arrives, A&M won't have any problem finding solid non-conference foes, he added.
"What is the advantage we have? A lot of people want to come to Texas and recruit Texas," Hyman said of the state's strength in high school football. "They want to get that exposure in Texas. The Big Ten, the Pac 12 … we have something they would like."

I figured this might be a problem with some future games, as many teams are scheduled out to 2017. However, I haven't seen a date on when that's going to start, or which yrs will be affected, if any yet.

Looks like posters aren't reading the link:
We originally had those games scheduled when we ALSO were going to have Arkansas as an OOC game. Now we're catching grief because we're trying to be flexible for the good of the conference?

Was cowardice -- known as savvy scheduling in some parts -- to blame? Perhaps, but it sounds like things have been pretty complicated from a logistical side for A&M. From the Houston Chronicle: Those games are no longer part of A&M's plans, [A&M AD Eric] Hyman said, because "having switched from the Big 12 to the SEC, we've had to scrub our whole schedule - throw it almost out.

You must be some kind of obsessed to bring up LSU in an A&M flame thread.

Kinda had a feeling this was coming ever since we left the Big12. Oh well, in Hyman I trust.
