Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4725810, member: 71"] Very true. In all candor my first reaction to our joining the new BE and going independent in football was that we intentionally were going to slowly move the program to where we had no choice but to drop football to FCS as I didn't see how we could put together schedules with any legitimate opponents. I was very pleasantly surprised with the scheduling, even though it could use a few stronger home opponents here and there and having 2/3 of our home schedule completed this upcoming season before October first is far from ideal. I believe that our basketball programs can help us add some P5(4) opponents going forward and there are enough G level programs that field ranked teams periodically (Boise St and Liberty as you mentioned, also possibly a school like Coastal Carolina, possibly renewing games with Fresno St and Utah St). Benedict appears to be more creative and aggressive than the two guys who preceded him and he appears to be far more driven for success than they were. I think we will see some very good things from the program in the near future. Finally, if any if my prior posts offended you, my apologies. At all of the games I am normally pretty easy to find in the blue lot so I'd like you to stop by for food & a beer. You have an open invitation for any and all games. [/QUOTE]
