I doubt we can get UF. I could see FSU happening though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we get a few names that are in the mix from Greg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A) We'll never get the Gators out of the swamp, unless it's a one-game deal played at the Forum with a 50-50 split of the gate. Even if we got one of these teams, why do we want to open the place with one-third the seats orange&blue/garnet&gold. We need a big name that will draw a crowd but not one that will bring all their fans. I was hoping it was Michigan State, but I guess it's not to be. The other rumor I've heard was opening it back up with Duke like we did in the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see FSU happening though I wouldn't want uf or fsu...dont want their fans overrunning or house on opening night....would prefer a big name but from far far away.....how bout a ucla or a mizzou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kansas would be my ideal opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schedule UT or FAMU, etc. I'm with you, but a little better than that so we can draw some people. A middle of the pack team would be ideal so we actually have a chance to win on opening night. Xavier, NC State, Michigan, Vanderbilt, Kansas State, Purdue, UNLV...Wanting a Duke, Michigan State, or Kansas on opening night would for sure be a sellout, but I'd want to give the team a shot of winning as well.
