OT: USF lands series with Bama

[HartfordHank]

It also helps that they play in Florida because we all know how much Bama loves playing teams from cold weather climates any later than mid September

Will never repeat the mistake of playing BC November 26th 1983 in Foxboro. Coldest I have ever been at a football game.

Good for USF for landing the most coveted team...hopefully they will be competitive in these games.

Very doubtful. But they’re nice paydays.

Would we fill the rent for bama? I’m kidding obviously, but that’s the shape the program is in. I doubt we will come close to a sellout this year and probably won’t even hit 30k

Tulsa just signed an 8 year deal with Oklahoma State, an equal amount of home games for each school.

I understand Aresco's excitement for scheduling P5 games. But Tulsa has played P5 teams (I'm also counting BYU, Boise and Notre Dame) a grand total of 6 times OOC over the past five seasons resulting in two bowl selections.

ECU and UConn have combined to play 26 P5+3 listed above in that same time span and have combined for a total of... two bowl games.

I'd rather see Aresco preach realistic scheduling than blindly lauding P5 opponents.
