G5 OOC Wish List
What's 1 or 2 G5 schools not currently on your schedule that's on your wish list and why?
(Include teams you've had games with in the past that you'd like to get going again)

RE: G5 OOC Wish List
North Texas - seems like it would be a natural rivalry. Not sure why they're so scared to play us.
Southern Miss - Last time we hosted them we had 27k. Most for a non Texas team. And it was one of the most exciting games I've ever seen.

RE: G5 OOC Wish List
1: UCF... use to be old FCS foes. And they are the current team to beat in G5.
I would say Boise State but we got them this year.
I’d also say southern miss but we also have that too next year.
2: I guess Memphis

RE: G5 OOC Wish List
Well I know Army isn't technically G5 but if you consider them to be equivalent, I would say Army and Navy. If you don't consider Army to meet the requirement, I'd take Colorado State, Boise, Houston, or UCF.

UCF to prove we can do it again.
Boise to prove we can whip the perennial favorite.

Louisiana tech and Memphis because those are historical rivals for us and it excites our fanbase-young and old.

Gimme Army/Navy for the history and the respect, USF for the return road trip.

RE: G5 OOC Wish List
just because i can i'll expand further for the other G5 conferences and I'll remove my top two picks...
CUSA-Southern Miss
Highly respectful program that is recognizable by our fan base as well. I enjoyed my trip to Hattiesburg back in 08 and I'd love to go back again.
MAC-NIU
As great as our 2011 season was, it really ended on a sour note against the Huskies in the Godaddy bowl. We had lost virtually our entire coaching staff and the team was being led by GAs and leftovers Hugh Freeze didn't take. I won't go as far as to say we would've won but man I just felt like that wasn't the same team that had competed from september through December. I would love another shot at NIU
MWC-Utah State
The 2014 game was incredibly entertaining and the return game in 2016 was surprisingly emotional and chippy. All in all, both games were fun I'd like to do it again
AAC-TIE East Carolina and Cincinnati
Cincy is just an intriguing matchup and I believe we have only squared off two times? Maybe three? Same goes to ECU and this one is more so personal as I got to mingle with Pirate fans many years ago when they were in Memphis playing the Pigs in the Liberty Bowl (Absolutely fun peeps! It'd be awesome to interact with them again)

We want Bama and Auburn lol.
But for as realistic games, Southern Miss and UAB. I can see a starting a rivalry with those teams. Also they are closer than most of our fellow Sunbelt members. I know they are on the schedule down the road, but it would be nice to play at least of them every season.

Those are the two old school opponents I'd love to see again as often as possible (especially since I grew up about 10 miles from UCF).
But I'd also like to see a H&H with Army, even though I don't think it will happen while Monken is there.

La Tech because it just makes too much sense. Annual rivalry. Functions like a home game for both teams (no travel), fan bases live next to each other. But Tech arrogance among certain powers won't let it happen.
Army, Navy and Air Force in that order. I like the service academies.

RE: G5 OOC Wish List
Besides Memphis and USM (already on the schedule), I'd like to get some games against ECU, UCF, and Colorado State. ECU left a favorable impression when they were in town for a bowl game a few years back, UCF because it's drivable and it's Orlando, and CSU because I love visiting that part of the country.
