This makes sense for a long list of reasons. Glad to see it come to fruition

This is a series we cannot lose and I don’t think it will be easy.

Amtrak! Smart, mutually beneficial scheduling. Accessing Newark game tickets will likely be challenging.

I didn't realize they were moving up to FBS. Probably a good idea to get some rapport going

I figured we would get them on the schedule. Really helps us out when the home game for us is in late November.
I wouldn't of mind if this was a four-game series. Great scheduling philosophy as it will be an easy away game to attend. Really good recruiting possibilities with Pennsylvania nearby. Our scheduling is filling in nicely through the rest of the decade.

We have a November away game to offer for the 2025 season. Hope we can fill out the schedule for 2025 with Temple?

Great job scheduling our farm team to check out possible portal players.

It’s almost like all these eastern schools should make an actual desirable conference instead of slumming it in the Sun Belt and CUSA.

Not happy about losing a 4th P5 game in 2025. Need the 12th game to be part of a P5 H/H.

Why? We could actually win this one

Their stadium is a little more than I expected coming from the CAA

I guessing Joe Flacco will be on hand for this momentus occasion.

Nice!! Fun little town with some good bars - would make for a great early Fall road trip.

I don’t know what capacity is but their stadium is pretty nice. Above average for the CAA. I always thought they would have been a good addition to the original Big East for football. Way better than trying to upgrade Villanova, who didn’t really want to upgrade. And it’s not that far from Philly or even DC. I believe there is commuter service to Philadelphia from Newark. Certainly there is Amtrak service.

You are who you play.

You are who you play.

Shizzle thinks playing name programs and getting pummeled beats winning. Liberty would have gone to a12 team CFP playoff last year probably had it existed. They played 0 P5s. JMU was the toast of college football with 1P5. Tulane was ranked in the top 10 last year with 1 P5. But hey, better to be 6-6 and go to Myrtle Beach than have a great season. We are. G5 . We will occasionally beat a bad P4 team. Every few years maybe. We ain’t beating 4-6.

You know what's crazy about this? Liberty has almost single handedly assured that a team with their profile never gets into the playoff.

Also, not sure what you've been smoking, but Tulane was never even close to being ranked top 10.

Beating 8 of the bottom 10 schools in the sport is not impressive.

The only reason they even sniffed the NY6 bowl was because every other G5 champ lost at least two (not one) games, and many people thought two-loss SMU was going to get in over them.

Winning CUSA in football is the basketball equivalent of the Southland. Congrats, you’re McNeese State.

What many fail to understand is the more the playoff expands (and it will), the less we need to be in a conference as long as we play 4-5 P4 schools a year to keep our SOS up.

That was in 2022. They got to #9 at one point
