10 years of champs prior to last years... unpleasantness... only 2 failed to make it out of the first weekend. I think last year had much more to do with us playing a bad game against a good team than some sort of systemic disadvantage we had because of playing 3 games in a row a week earlier...
Chattanooga looks decent, but I like this matchup a lot for us. As far as the future games, if last year taught us anything it should be not to worry about them till they are set. I bet a lot of Tennessee and OK state fans were unhappy about the prospect of playing us in the sweet 16 last year...
