On paper, 2019 looks like the best OOC slate

[Bull Dozer]

Love this I just hope their is a nice sized buy out for anything that gets canceled on UL's end.   They days of expecting 1 for 1's with quality P5 programs are over so we need to schedule with a anybody, anywhere attitude.  I'll take 2-1's all day as long as it's against quality P5 programs and our AD makes sure we get handsomley rewarded for opponents buying out games.

I'm sure they're trying, but I'd really like to see the Florida P5 schools back on our radar. Maybe we can guilt-trip xCWT into it, at least...

Absolutely, already looking forward to making the trip to ATL

This kills me. Prior to this deal, our only unbalanced contract was a 2 for 1 with Texas. If we can't get a 1 for 1 with Louisville, who will sign one with us?

↓ This ↓ Agree with Bull Dozer. This should at least guarantee a home-n-home. Then if they want a buyout, go for it.

Can we get a series set up with WVU next? Love that we're playing UL again and if for some reason Strong is still here in 2022 the Strong vs Petrino matchup is intriguing. Completely forgot about that BYU game in Provo, that'll be a nice little 5-hour road trip.

Run the table that year and we'll be in the Final Four ...

I like this alot, great move. Our buy-out clause should be pretty high

Puts things into perspective of why the schedule is not impressive to some USF fans. Life outside the P5 makes it tough to get one & one deals with the so called P5.

I cant wait till 2024 for the Home game against Louisville! Only 6 more years to go!
