What? They wouldn't play a home-and-home with SU but will with Arkansas Friggin' State?

This is why...2-0 vs Arkansas St... 0-2 vs Syracuse. Seriously, I dont think we were we looking for a home/home with them. I think it was a scheduling void by both schools that just happened to work. I'll take what we got any day as we got an 800K payday & a W out of the deal.

I find it difficult to believe SU wouldn't want a home-and-home with Missouri. SU's OOC is wiiiiiide open after this year.

Mizzou won't come to the dome.

They'll buy out the second game.

Not necessarily, Arkansas State sit 70 miles from Memphis and is in the Delta Region. It is a rich area for recruiting. Jonesboro, AK is very close to to the bootheel of Missouri so it allows Mizzou fans from SE MO to easily attend.

I'm very surprised they didn't negotiate a 2 for 1 though.
