Beating a terrible Vandy, Tennessee or Arkansas team does little for SDSU. Boise got on the national map by beating #4 TCU, #7 Oklahoma, #13 Virginia Tech, and #19 Georgia. [EDIT: agree with aztecryan that Mizzou makes the most sense with Sterk there. SDSU got robbed the last time in 2010.] Actually Vanderbilt went to a bowl game in 2018. I remember State scheduled Oregon State, looking forward to an easy win. By kickoff Dennis Erickson was the head coach and the Aztecs got bitch slapped by the Beavers. Be careful what you wish for.

Yeah but we don’t know how these teams will be if it’s years down the road. It won’t be Tennessee or Vandy anyways as we aren’t allowed to play in the state of Tennessee thanks to California politics. Lol. That's akin to saying "We won't be staying at your Jim Crow-sanctioned hotel cuz of Jackie's skin color"... I think you messed up the quote or at least your attention of the quote. Jackie Robinson was a devout Christian like Dr. King was. Just saying.

It was even worse with Illinois. They were 0-11 when we scheduled a home and home with them then they finished #5 in the nation when we played them in 2000

If you think we are going into Alabama and Auburn and have a shot at winning, you are delirious. Love SDSU, support SDSU, root for SDSU, but don't let it blind you from reality. Winning on the road against a bottom SEC team is 10x more valuable to us than going to New Mexico State, Toledo, BYU and getting a win. And we have to start somewhere. But, anyways, it looks like this won't start until 2024. Our schedule is booked until then, unless we drop some teams.

I’m willing to bet that Tennessee and Arkansas are much better again by 2024.

I'm hoping for an SEC bottom feeder, I'd like Rocky's guys to have a decent chance to win. JMO The only problem with that is even an SEC bottom feeder can be as tough as any top team in the MW, and give you a good game. And, last season Kentucky was not living off the bottom. They were winning and one of the best teams in the SEC! I would like to see a H&H schedule with Auburn, Tex. A&M, Arkansas, 'Ole Miss, LSU, but it doesn't matter too much really.

Isn’t there a big list of states that calif schools can no longer travel to due to gender laws? I believe it includes several SEC states such as Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, etc. so we can scratch any of those schools of the list. Teams can go and play in those states but they must fund their transportation costs privately.

[EDIT: agree with aztecryan that Mizzou makes the most sense with Sterk there. SDSU got robbed the last time in 2010.] I may be wrong, but I'll bet you that SDSU would be a clear underdog to every SEC school except Vanderbilt. Sure, we might well beat some of them, but that would rightly be seen as a big upset. Do you seriously think that Tennessee (who used to be a national power) and Arkansas would be push-overs? Needless to say, playing any SEC member above the middle of the pack would be suicide. We are not close to being ready to play any but the bottom half dozen SEC schools. Beating even Vanderbilt would be a plus. Much more so beating either Tennesse or Arkansas. We are not talking about Arizona State or Oregon State here. AzWm

Theonly thing we do know is that we have PAC12 games for the next 10 years.

Actually Vanderbilt went to a bowl game in 2018. I remember State scheduled Oregon State, looking forward to an easy win. By kickoff Dennis Erickson was the head coach and the Aztecs got bitch slapped by the Beavers. Be careful what you wish for. I wished for a new arena. That wish came true in 1997. In a perfect place on campus. I don't always agree with RA, but it looks like you have a serious obsession with that poster. However, and not to make RA's head swell, putting that arena where it's at wasn't well thought out. The decision makers should have moved it about 300 to 500 feet North. A 35k to 40k stadium and an incorporated arena in the North end zone would have been perfect. Just my alum opinion. But back to the topic, playing any SEC team is good for the Aztecs!! Especially if it was played in that fantasy football stadium that should have been. 😉

Why do we want to play Vandy? I suppose they are the SEC team we are most likely to beat , but the problem with that hypothesis is if we did - the victory would be brushed off "meh, it was only Vandy not a real SEC team" Vandy here is less of a draw than Oregon State. I'm not dissing Vandy (well , I guess I am but not on purpose - it's just that nobody cares about them) but can someone explain the attraction to that matchup?

A serious obsession? Perhaps, as most of his posts I disagree with. Then again, this is a board with many varying opinions. Nothing wrong with a little disagreement.

They are a team that is doing pretty good right now. I am bored with playing Pac12 teams exclusively for our P5s. Good reasons in my opinion. Also, Arkansas would be great too. NWA is gorgeous during fall, and Fayetteville is a great town.
