SC’s OOC schedule is pretty crowded, but there’s a chance we could be in.

I’m thinking @southie is right and Texas will travel to SC this year. We played at Iowa St and I highly doubt the Big 12 would send us anyone other than Baylor or Texas.

West Virginia hosted Tennessee last season; so, wouldn't surprise me if WVU was sent to South Carolina.

Err, ok.

I do not really understand the scheduling in this challenge (or SEC conference games in general

they seem to dislike marquee events.

Which is why it’s coming to an end lol. Maybe we can play the PAC 12 schools.

I have a feeling ESPN will help with the creation of an SEC/ACC challenge once Texas and OU begin playing in the SEC. So, that would mean the end of the B1G/ACC challenge, IMO.

I have a feeling that some teams refuse or ask out of games against certain other teams, particularly the powerhouses.

And it's the Big 12. There aren't a lot of marquee teams.

texas or Baylor would have made natural TV games. But maybe over scheduling for everyone involved.

Didn't Baylor beat SC in the challenge game about 2-3 years ago? And I seem to recall SC won at TX not too long before that. Not sure what their rules or standards are for how often a rematch can happen.

I guess that's right. Baylor was at least I recall.

Who can you see us beating?

SC? Georgia? Tennessee? Kentucky? All are gonna be predicted higher than us.

Arkansas has lost Dungee and Slocum, but they still return Ramirez and a heck of a lot of Top 30 recruits. Neighbors recruits much better than McCray. And we play 2 games against Arkansas.

LSU has a middle of the pack roster in the SEC, but Mulkey has stocked better new players than we have. Alexis Morris, Autumn Newby, Hannah Gusters, and Moon Ursin. Also, a 3 time National Championship winning coach against Nikki McCray Penson is a match Tiger fans will take. They split the series against us last year with an inferior roster, with a better one they'll go 2-0 against a not much different (maybe slightly improved) MSU roster.

It's possible we may split the series vs Ole Miss, but beating them twice?

A&M I'll give you that it's possible. Missouri has not shown life yet, but they're not a total bottom feeder. They embarrassed us last year, return all their top players....they just don't have anyone outside their Top 2 or 3. (Same situation as us really) Florida we should beat, but I wouldn't say it's a guarantee since they came close to knocking that door down last year too. Lavender Briggs having a big game might just be enough for them.

We'll beat Alabama, Vanderbilt, and Auburn tho. Looks like 6-10 to me. Conference is insane, really.

Y'all can definitely steal a game vs Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. As good as they are. They are teams that y'all can upset. Which I wouldn't exactly call it an upset. Mississippi State has a formidable roster. Now it's up to Nikki to get the players to buy into her. That's the key to y'all being a 9-7 or 10-6 team.

Edit: y'all can definitely split the Arkansas series. I think you're setting the bar too low for this team. But as I stated. Nicki has to get them to buy in. And she has to be a coach. Not that sitting on the bench. She has to be engaged. This team does not have a bottom feeding roster
 
I'll take the over for a 6-10 projected league record for Miss State.

I almost feel like were talking g about different things.

Agree with this post, the player potential is there, however player potential does not matter much if a coach does not understand how to be use that potential. Hopefully, last year was just a startup bump for Nikki and she becomes more positively involved with the players this year. GO NIKKI!

It's not a startup bump. No team has historically tanked this fast so quickly while getting the same team back.

I am not trying to make excuses for Nikki, I was amazed at the Holly impression she gave during the game, just hanging her head and sitting while the team struggled. The contrast with Vic and even the Ole Miss coach was just so different than what we were use to. My hope is this season will see a more involved coach, just have to HOPE!

NMP just hired Doug Novak as assistant head coach.

Looks like she turned the whole coaching staff over.

Not gonna lie, looks pretty bad when literally the entire staff turns over after your first season as HC. I am not sure I have seen that before.

Only time will tell if Nikki is in over her head. It’s very hard following such a successful coach and I’m sure the pandemic didn’t help. As a Gamecock, I hope she‘s great because she was a great assistant coach.

I think Miss State and Kentucky will give better reads of their coaches this year.

And Tamisha Augustin is leaving for the G-League. Will be McCray’s fifth assistant hire this off-season.
