Regardless of where we are situated (conference wise) over the next half dozen or so years it would do wonders for our efforts of increasing the visibility of our program (and the local fan base) if we were to regularly schedule a game (ideally one per season) against a bigtime opponent in the Meadowlands and Foxboro (ideally one on odd years, the other on even years).
Our plan from the day we decided to upgrade football should have been to stretch our reach from NYC to Boston. If we attempted this from four, eight, twelve years ago and even only made a fraction of the progress we were aiming at we would be infinitely better off today.
