Thanks to Nico's post about the helmet schedule (huge hat-tip to whomever substituted the jorts for the Florida helmet....still chuckling about that one), I noticed a refreshing change for our football team.  Contrary to years past, no opponents have a non-reciprocated open date before playing us: the only teams who's open date falls before our matchup (Ole Miss and Auburn), we also have the week before open.  That's a huge, huge difference from the past few years..... last year was the first I can remember in several years that Tennesse didn't have a bye week before playing us.

Last year Arkansas, Auburn, LSU, MSU, and (I believe) FSU all had bye week before the game with us.....think it'll make any difference?
