They batted .500. First game was @ Memorial Stadium.
Totally agree. With our recent dominance in football we should use our clout to determine the schools we play in fertile recruiting grounds.
What P5 team is going to schedule us that isn't a bottom feeder? So basically you just want Rutgers, Syracuse, Cincinnati, USF maybe Pitt? So you just want the old big east teams on the schedule? I'd rather have Georgia Southern, Appalachian St or any Florida over Rutgers or Syracuse.
From a fan perspective, how could you prefer GA Southern or App St over Rutgers & Cuse? If you bring in the recruiting angle you can make a slight case at best for playing in GA or NC. I wouldn't buy tickets for GAS or AS, but I would for rivalry games with schools I hate.
Understand your point in your first sentence, but as for the rest of your post, are you totally nuts? I think you will find yourself in the minority on that part of your post.
Georgia Southern and App St are better teams than Syracuse and Rutgers. There's 0 reason to play Syracuse on the football field other than nostalgia. They're not in great area for recruiting and Syracuse sucks as a destination. Rutgers you at least get the ability for recruiting NJ players. But I would say have Georgia and NC trips would do better for recruiting those areas than playing Rutgers at the absolute trash hole of North Jersey
And they were coached by Howard Schnellenberger (who passed away 2 weeks ago) wearing a baseball cap and a sweatshirt. That's a coach!
Super bad take.
Two words - Dinosaur BBQ!
Have you enjoyed winning 2-4 games a year over the last decade? If the answer is no than you should want 3 or 4 competitive games on the schedule. Uconn has dug such a deep hole as a program they can't really look their nose down on anybody including FAU.
While you are correct, the UConn fan will pay money to see us play Syracuse and Rutgers, not Georgia Southern, SMU or other good programs.
