We have a schedule opening in 2015 and 2016.


Oct 22, 2013, 11:03 PM

All would want a Home and Home with a name team. However, its not practical. We need a an opponent coming for a check at home in 2015. We need a Schedule Enhancer on the road in 2016.

How about:

2015=####### State of Indiana
2016=UCF (hedging that they will still be a good program)

Anyone know who we are pursuing in those years?

I've been wrong two times, but this isn't one of them.

But the thing is, it is practical: It's simple math. Charge $100 a pop for a big OOC game as opposed to $50 for some FCS game nobody wants to go to. They charged $70 for Georgia this year and that game sold out in no time, with lowers going for $350+ and uppers $180+. Plus, couple that big OOC game with an FCS game (like they did for Georgia)... At the end of the day, you don't have to pay the $250k guarantee to the opponent and you're not missing out on much money and your fans, players, boosters, etc. are that much more excited.

Rant over.

I want:

Ole Miss...more for the return visit to their place
Michigan...unlikely but how awesome would that be?
Tennessee...another great home-and-home opportunity
Florida...a good time to get them

Plus another 20 programs...

(By the way, if you simply EXPLAIN to your fans the reason it's necessary to charge so much, they'll be more than understanding. It's simple economics.)

It's not practical from the point of view that you're


Oct 22, 2013, 11:23 PM

lowering your win %. FSU + Louisville + ND + South Carolina is already a very tough schedule in 2015. You don't need to add another very difficult game to the schedule.

Re: It's not practical from the point of view that you're


Oct 22, 2013, 11:26 PM

So you'd prefer to shy away from a real opponent that would pack the Valley and bring national attention to the program because it would add another tough opponent? Come on. I'll take that any day over another game with SC State. That does nothing for you. Win percentage means nothing. You need 6 wins. I'd rather play a real team.

badge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You left out at Miami in 2015. That schedule will be tough


Oct 22, 2013, 11:42 PM [ in reply to It's not practical from the point of view that you're ]

enough.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Florida is actually perfect


Oct 23, 2013, 8:17 AM [ in reply to Re: We have a schedule opening in 2015 and 2016. ]

They need an Away in 2015 and a 2016 at home. However, our AD won't book ND, SC, and Fl in the same year with our Conference schedule (FSU, L'vul, and Miami).

I saw article in local paper here (Virginia Beach, VA) that Old Dominion University located in Norfolk, VA (15 mins from va beach) was trying to get a 2 year deal with Clemson.

I heard on one of the WCCP radio shows recently UGA is


Oct 22, 2013, 11:31 PM

possible for 2016 in the Georgia Dome opening game.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Love playing UGA...


Oct 22, 2013, 11:34 PM

But absolutely hate those stupid neutral-field openers. Would much, much rather have a home-and-home.

badge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

please no


Oct 22, 2013, 11:43 PM [ in reply to I heard on one of the WCCP radio shows recently UGA is ]

would rather have a home and home with a new opponent. How about Arkansas? only SEC team we've never played

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We have ND at home in 2015. The opening will be paid game.


Oct 22, 2013, 11:54 PM

Where we have space is 2016 & 2017 for another big name OC game. 2018 will most likely be a return trip to south bend. No SEC team will commit right now until they know what is going to happen with the potential 9 game conference schedule.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

get OK State back***


Oct 22, 2013, 11:55 PM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

They have a 9 game conference schedule in the B12 too.


Oct 23, 2013, 12:02 AM

Why would OKST do that?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

the pac 12 has 9conference games


Oct 23, 2013, 12:05 AM

and their teams arent scared to schedule bog non conference games. too bad other conferences are

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The ACC is odd now with their schools having to schedule


Oct 23, 2013, 12:15 AM

a nonconference game with ND every three years now and they have 5 schools with built in nonconference games against the SEC annually (CU,FSU,GT and Louisville)and Wake/Vandy for however long that lasts. I think much of the future scheduling is on hold until everyone knows the formulas for getting into the 4 game playoff.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Huge statement


Oct 23, 2013, 8:20 AM

Hugely correct

site opener in one of those years?

Have all of you forgot about the 4 team playoff? You have to take the path of least resistance to get there. You cant schedule those big time programs.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: We have a schedule opening in 2015 and 2016.


Oct 23, 2013, 8:13 AM

I'd rather sees play one team like sc state and more big name games.
Like let's keep Georgia for a few years with coots on the end and maybe a nice home and home series with teams out of the normal south east mainly for recruiting. Like a big 12 or big 10 school. Heck maybe even PAC 12

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Let's schedule Kentucky


Oct 23, 2013, 8:23 AM

home and home

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

What about East Carolina?


Oct 23, 2013, 8:26 AM

Would they require a home-and-home, or would they come to the Valley for just one game?

UCF says the Louisville game may not be that difficult even easier when they lose QB and D linemen to NFL

I wouldn't count on Notre Dame just yet.

Clemson will get them while the Kelly tryout is still ongoing so may have several years to say hey we spanked ND until they really get it going again

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Was supposed to be Ole Miss IIRC.


Oct 23, 2013, 8:24 PM

It won't be an SEC team since they are supposed to go to 9 conference games. Schedule Oregon.
