No Jacksonville State

There has been rumors floating around about this for awhile now but I wanted to wait until things got a little more official. It looks like that wait is over. Unless there is some bizarre twist, Jacksonville State will no longer be playing Mississippi State in the 2007 football season. They'll have to pay a $150,000 penalty for backing out of the game. It will be difficult to find an opponent to take their place as pretty much everybody has their schedule locked in by now. It will likely be another I-AA team, oh excuse me, I mean it will likely be another "Playoff subdivision" team. There has been some slight mutterings of playing Hawaii, but I don't see that as being all that probable.
