Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4106861, member: 71"] BL, instead of urinating in your cheerios this morning, I'm beginning to suspect someone did something far worse in them. Prior to ~2008 going on the recruiting trail, telling kids that [I][B]"all we have to do is win the Big East"[/B][/I] was similar to one of the better AAC schools over the past couple of years telling kids [I][B]"all we have to do is finish in the CFP top four"[/B][/I]. While technically correct, it was very far from being realistic. This will be a multi-step process and will require a different sales pitch than the opportunity to play bowl games. We will (in I believe every case in the reasonable future) play higher profile and more high profile schools than we did in the old Big East. If we can start winning, I imagine our overall profile will put us in a slightly better position to secure bowl invitations than many of our current peers. Until then, we will need to sell something different but I don't see why we can't. [/QUOTE]
