I think they get to stay in the MAC for one more year (2015).Originally Posted by KSDAWG
But for 2016 -- I hear New England is beautiful in autumn.
Yeah, that's kinda what I'm thinking. They aren't a bad program and to play in Gillette Stadium would be flicking awesome in 2017.
Not feeling it. I compare it to LaMon fans being excited about the home and home they got with New Mexico. If a home and home does not help us draw fans in our place why do it? BYU, Army, Navy, etc..
Recruiting, players getting to play in an NFL stadium, exposure in a new market, likely wins, relationship building, etc. You know there is much more to OOC scheduling than simply putting butts in the seats.
That said, I'm not feeling UMass, but I'd rather play UMass than Bowling Green. I still don't get the BGSU deal.
Who put the BGSU deal together?
Do you really believe a young man will be lured in by, "Look, we play in the Patriots stadium in xxxx!"
I'm guessing UMass is close to a done deal or the news would not have leaked.
BVDV. McClelland has yet to officially schedule a football game.
No, I don't think a recruit would be lured by simply playing an OOC game in an NFL stadium, but I think it would be part of the recruiting pitch. The recruits know our future schedules and like knowing they will play P5 teams and in NFL stadiums. Look at the trend of the kickoff classics in NFL stadiums and the bowl games popping up in NFL stadiums. That's the only way I see we could sell playing UMass...unless it included a basketball home-and-home, but I doubt we'd think of that. There's nothing to sell about Bowling Green.
Why do you think this news leaked? I'm not reading anything into it.
May 2012 would be BVDV http://www.fbschedules.com/2012/05/b...all-schedules/
One of my sources has been getting info to leak back to THE BBB. Sounds like the UMass deal may be one of those "rumors".
Tech admins floating trial balloons amongst the internet squirrels?
Surely not ....
I would take a home and home with the Univ of New Mexico IMMEDIATELY!!! WTF? That's beats the hell out of having only 5 home games.
HONEST QUESTION: Why can ULM's AD schedule so much better than our AD? Maybe LA Tech should consider hiring ULM's AD. And yes, I'm DEAD SERIOUS. Having only 5 home games is unacceptable.
HD the NM game gets them a 4th home game. They are in Karl Benson's Sunbelt.
Any FBS non conference home game is a win right now. MAC, MWC, AAC home and away games gets us in new markets on an even playing field.
I am all in on our AD-- think he is destined to be superstar-- not sure you have any idea what he is acomplishing with our budget and the POLITICAL connections that we need to advance program. The work he began in AUGUST to develop relationship with HOD bowl paid dividends. The man has a reputation for squeezing every dime out of budget-- we are in great hands with Tommie and the day we need someone from Northeast to bail us out is the beginning of our demise ---
