We should put FAMU back on the schedule early in the season. Big crowd, easy win, gets season off to a positive start. Not sure if we could host just yet given we had >30k for the last meeting in the OB.

Thats a tough OOC schedule with the exception of Indiana. That is the type of OOC schedule we used to have. Way to many money games.

You're right. We're still trying to recover from ours.

UGH! Everyone's home OCCs are always better than ours... WTF is up with our athletic department??? Have they gotten anyone else other than Navy and Miss State coming in the next few years? Don't get me wrong, A+ to the athletic department for getting Miss State and Navy but come on. I want 6 home games!

there are 2 money games there...nebraska and kentucky...and count ky as an attendance game as 2 of the return games in that contract are in nashville and count towards our attendance. a gimmick for sure but it will keep us in the good for attendance as eLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLson beats down our interest.

that is still one too many for me as our prez and a.d. said we'd only schedule one money game per year. how many money games are too many? not trying to be smart. i think any more than one game is too many but our prez and a.d. seem to be flexible on what they first said.

So....I'm thinking a sign reading "Show Your Peayness" is in order.

I'd say 2-3 is reasonable right now. Slowly get rid of 'em as you get better and can afford it. When you start being able to win these games, limit 'em to 1-2 (should happen on its own as more teams refuse to play you). Pull some strings and get teams in your house (like MT with UVA, Minnesota, etc.) down the road. It takes some luck, and a good AD. But don't expect anything less than what you have right now with an 0-12 record.

I like how the all the teams around the conference are getting more home games and better opponents at home.
