UConn at Clemson September 11, 2021

This still leaves us with a hole in 2021 and who ever we fill it with, kids we are recruiting today should be participants.

I hope we can get and home and home with Syracuse, Maryland, Virginia or Pitt. Wildcard - BYU or army. If we have to schedule a MAC game - then make it Buffalo for revenge.

I'd rather do home and homes, neutral sites, or even 2-for-1's. This move screams FCS.

Also, this specific school had a sizable role in our current conference affiliation.

This is how Boise State built its football prowess way back when...........play anyone, anywhere, under any condition. I mean I hate to admit it, but it isn't 2010 anymore, that was 7 years ago. We are where we are at this point, no way Clemson would have agreed to a home and home
 
Although this shade technically applicable any more because Diaco has been shown the door, it still made me laugh. We have to own our history -- the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Sad fact, but fact non the less.

I'm excited about the opponent but sad that one day this type of arrangement will happen against our former conference mates. The writing is on the wall.
 
Interesting that it is also the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. I wonder if they'll have anything special lined up for that.

How is this bad other than we get our butts whooped? It's Clemson - the school that just beat Alabama for the NC. Nothing else on our future schedules is all that attractive at all. You wanted P5 schools - here's the cream of the crop.
 
Love love love!!! Now let's get some more big games ! Same people that hated on this hated on Notre Dame series. That ND game at South Bend was my favorite Huskies game . Let's go anywhere and play!! Swamp /Horseshoe /Coliseum...this also great for recruiting!

Ha ha. Reality. Super game
 
I don't love these 1 offs and honestly we haven't done a lot. What I worry about is if you go it for Clemson how far down the food chain will you go? FSU? North Carolina? BC? Texas? Oklahoma? Ok state? I think we are better off doing 1-1 with the P5 programs who will do them, and there are many, than doing too many of these. As the old story goes, a famous author goes up to a woman at a party and asks if she will sleep with him for $1million. She says "of course I will." Then he asks if she'll do it for a buck and she gets indignant! "What do you think I am?" She asks. "I think we've established that. Now we're just dickering about price." We need to avoid that scenario.

We made a deal with the National Champs. I wouldn't mind if we did that next year as well.
 
If you wanna be big you gotta dream big and win big. We aint exactly gonna miss out on the playoffs because we lost to clemson.

Why would you ever include UNC, BC, and OK State with FSU, Texas, and Oklahoma? It doesn't strengthen your point, it weakens it. Because we've already signed an equitable four game series with BC.

What a terrible analogy. Prostitution is a moral and legal argument. We're talking about a football game, it's nowhere near applicable.

It's amazing how many people are tuned in to the athletic department and still have no understanding or acceptance of how badly we need this money. We don't have a choice but to take games like this. If Texas or Oklahoma called and offered up $1 million to play and Benedict said no, he should be fired on the spot.
