If it holds, I think that's awesome.
But I suspect that we'll add some as we go.

On Playing FCS teams...
This season, 109 FBS teams played FCS teams. 5 of those teams (Army, East Carolina, Florida, Liberty, and Virginia Tech) played 2 FCS teams. Only 21 teams did not play an FCS team, and only 5 of those were G5 teams. Most of the teams that didn't play an FCS team were Big 10 teams were temporarily banned from scheduling them. It is college football scheduling 101. I'm not sure why we want to gripe about the most basic of established practices.
On Money games...
We haven't truly played 2 money games since 2014.
2014 - 2: Oklahoma & Auburn
2015 - 1.5: Kansas State and Mississippi State (MS. State only paid $500K in return for the 2 for 1)
2016 - 1: Arkansas (Texas Tech was a money game, but offset a buyout paid to Texas A&M to get out of a return game from the Shreveport contract)
2017 - 1: South Carolina
2018 - 1: LSU (Mississippi State was a return game)
2019 - 1: Texas
2020 - 1.5: Vanderbilt and Baylor (Baylor is only paying $500K in return for the 2 for 1)
2021 - 1: N.C. State
2022 - 1: Clemson
2023 - 1: Nebraska
Here we are on the precipice of our first possible CUSA championship, and all you guys can talk about is off season stuff like scheduling, rivalry prizes, and the like. Good lord.....
Way to many variables for Championship talk. If UAB beats UNT, then we are toast. I don't see USM winning in Boca.Originally Posted by HogDawg

I really want that conference championship (which requires the divisional championship first). But because we don't control our own destiny, I kind of don't love talking about it too much. Not that I personally as a fan had anything to do with it even when it was within "our" control.Here we are on the precipice of our first possible CUSA championship, and all you guys can talk about is off season stuff like scheduling, rivalry prizes, and the like.

The trophy thing was on my mind (and has been for a while), and scheduling talk is always fun. Hoping for UNT to win is a little harder to dwell on (although I certainly really do hope they win).
You are right that we'll have months and months to hash out these perennial arguments about scheduling. It's a long off-season.
But the same is going to be true about threads complaining about Holtz or his playcalling or the suspensions or whatever. Go start an X's and O's thread on UTSA's offensive preferences and I promise I'll post there too.
It's not a gripe, it is a discussion on what might serve us better to actually sell tickets and build our fan base. We all know it is a basic practice, which means everybody else does it. It's not working for us or many others. Playing SLC teams and especially SWAC teams is wearing down our fan base. Next year's home schedule is HORRIBLE.
Yet you took the time to drop in and make a comment. We have almost zero chance of going back to Marshall and losing again.Here we are on the precipice of our first possible CUSA championship, and all you guys can talk about is off season stuff like scheduling, rivalry prizes, and the like.

Agree about next year's schedule. Remember, that is all set up by the UNLV game (signed in 2011) and the 2021 Mississippi State (signed in 2009) road game getting kicked down the road by the prior admin. Without those two pieces of baggage, we probably would have had an AAC team or a Kansas type opponent at home in 2020 and on the road in 2021 and 6 home games in both of those seasons.
I hope LA Tech wins the conference championship just to piss you off.Yet you took the time to drop in and make a comment. We have almost zero chance of going back to Marshall and losing again.
Bam!I hope LA Tech wins the conference championship just to piss you off.
No that would upset you because I'll be happy.I hope LA Tech wins the conference championship just to piss you off.
I refuse to over expect anything from a Holtz coached team. Pay the man!Bam!
The number this year is 20.
Akron (needed one to not be 0-12), Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Purdue, Rice, Rutgers, USC, SMU, Stanford, Texas, Tulsa, UCLA, Wisconsin.
We have almost zero chance of going back to Marshall and losing again.Exactly!! That would really be a quandary for Eeyore.I hope LA Tech wins the conference championship just to piss you off.
UNT could still make our game VERY meaningful when we finally get underway. Looks like FAU will be the East winner.
I like our chances there over Marshall.
