First three games of schedule has handicapped program

[bull2saintleo]

I think that if we are going to keep this scheduling philosophy we should schedule the I-AA to open and then backload one of the non-BCS games in the middle of our conference schedule. A few teams do this around game 7 or 8 and I think it presents the opportunity to rest guys and prepare for the final stretch in conference.

I can agree with this.  Shuffle the schedule around to maybe add some meat to the 1st third of the season.

adding teams to the conference would help.

the schedule would have been equally as bad with

wofford

wku

fiu

indiana

fsu is a huge improvement but wofford, wku and charleston southern is a black eye, especially when we already dont garner any respect nationally with our conference schedule

smazza, if you had your way, there would be some years that we would only have 4 home games.  That's not a good way to build your fan base.

wofford (and most likely csu) are barely watchable

We should have extended the UCF series.

I don't care what economic model you look at.  A sold out stadium vs UCF is better than paying a team $450,000 to sell 28.5K tickets (when you remove the 12.5K they add for the student sections)...

It's just silly.  Sure UCF is crap... blah blah blah.  It was a bad move to end the series.  I was all for ending it, but that's a regret now.

We have no idea where the program stands, and neither does the polls.  We arent even on the map right now.  And I dont think it would be any better if we would be playing FIU this weekend instead of CSU.

WE need to schedule stronger. 

Oh no!!  We're not ranked, and no one knows about us!!

In less then a month, we're likely going to be playing a ranked team in Ray Jay on national TV.  We win that game, we'll be back on the map.

i have been saying this for years

it is the ksu(leavitt) way

schedule patsies,pile up meaningless wins and stats and never win anything

bro do you every say anything new every post is ithe same

[mikebeau]

the new way is to schedule a strong program to start the year.  Look at the season openers that were out there.  Nobody gets excited about 1aa, let alone(basically) three of them.

this thread exists.

then there is one where people argue for adding memphis and UCF to the big east.

does not compute.

conference expansion isnt the problem. the problem is a ******** schedule. if i were in charge over there, id be calling arkansas, nebraska, iowa, UNC, georgia tech, wake forest, etc... not WKU, FAMU, FAU

the 5-year miami contract is the smartest move ive seen, and going to FSU and UF arent bad, but then theres the rest of the schedule. balance is good... right now the scale is tipped heavily in favor of cupcakes, and not the hostess kind.
