If you are Harlan when do you start reaching out to big named P5 schools for something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect there are a few. Yes, Mark you are in the clock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's load that sucker up and inject some excitement into the program. Edited June 23, 2017 by bullcocky101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can hear the AD's now, "Hey! Let's pay that top 10 USF squad to come in here and quite possibly ruin our season! I think our boosters and fan base would love that, right?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did I ever say that Harlan is not working to get better OOC games? I am only criticizing the quality of OOC games that he has gotten thus far. After killing it in his first year with series against BYU, GT, and Texas he has then only signed up future games against teams like Central Michigan, FAU, NIU, San Jose State, and UMass. Yes, I understand you can't schedule every game with teams of that type of quality all the time, but you have to have some sort of balance. Personally, I don't see the benefit in scheduling these teams when they zero benefit to us. If we are only going to schedule other G5 teams, at least have them against some quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the following quote is a good indicator of your implication of that very notion: 9 hours ago, bullsmeanbusiness said: If you are Harlan when do you start reaching out to big named P5 schools for something similar? If you don't think he's started, then it stands to reason you think he is not working on it yet. Simple logic of your own statements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he's working it as best that anyone could under the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
