Message: [QUOTE="bennyskid, post: 3377456, member: 9471"] From what I've been able to piece together from SR's statements over the years, he wants at least one big program to play in Gill each year - e.g. Notre Dame, Tennessee - to get the home crowd excited. He wants one serious road test - he was hoping Miami would be that test, but it seems that Miami isn't as good as everyone thought they would be. He wants a Top25-type opponent in Hawaii. And he wants a strong holiday tournament - last year that was Vancouver tournament. So he is looking for home-and-homes with top eastern schools and has scored a couple, but it isn't easy to talk top programs into flying 3000 miles for a game when they can get a similar game without leaving their time zone. We've seen some great games in Gill, but despite his efforts it hasn't happened every year. [/QUOTE]
