2010 Football Schedule

i think that MAC and Conference USA schools already have their schedules set for next season so we might not have a choice, especially since we are already playing Maine next season too

i totally believe in that approach. a few years later, nobody remembers that several of kansas state or rutgers wins are over rumeys. even the gators do it. this year, florida international was the latest cannon fodder. i must say, that without doubt , the usual crowd of like 88,000 fans residing all over the campus was missing to some extent. however, a win is win, and u got so much push playing in the SEC, that it does not lower the computer bsc standings. the computers, which many of the anti bsc types dont like to admit, could care less about usc beating some team like washington state, 51-7. however, i dont think the computer is real big factor right now, with the bcs. here is the story: play some cheezy out florida team. FAMU or florida international. or that other school in the miami area, or like florida atlantic with howard schnellenberger. cause the more energy u can generate in florida recruiting grounds, the better. and its always nice to go to florida anyways. right now, next 2 days, gonna be mid 70’s say in fort myers beach, and even 71/72 in gainesville.there is absolute no reason to play schools like washington or usc, cept in bowl games, we never go out there and recruit anyones. cept for a stray ca juco player .same thing with the big 11. cept for donovan mcnabb/chicago land, and recruiting in norheast ohio.. cleveland, youngstown,etc, we never recruit there.if all else fails, play some mac team that dont have a clue, in ohio, say. like akron or youngstown state or ohio in athens. it worked for kansas state for a real long time, most of the time,the bowls folks and sportswriters were too tres estupido to ever realize that 33% of the teams they beat every year nobody had ever heard of. right??

its always funny, the complete mass chaos and confusion fueled by drugs and alcohol at the gators home games. with like 90,000 wiped out people camped out all over campus with generators, big screens, sound systems. welcome to the campus resembling a state fair meets a rock concert. and it dont help with the stadium being like a quick 4-5 minute walk cross the street from the famous swamp" bar area! not for the faint of heart. game day. one thing i do wonder about is all the rednecks who hang out with their power wagons over by lake alice. the pic nic area.. i presume that they are armed and all. but do they really want to get macho with albert??the lake has its share of gators, but albert is the king.. 19-20 feet long , over 500 lbs.. been around for a long time on the campus.

however, dont schedule some token win" like a mac team from ohio if u are a coach like the grobster.. or its gonna be really a unhappy surprize.. non? talk about the absolute nadir of the syracuse football program.

d’accord/agreed. as far as i am concerned, we should really stress playing tradtional games with the same teams as when we were independant. as in" round up the usual suspects" navy, army, maryland and penn state. and guess what? all within driving distance to some extent to upstate ny. and we do recruit for both b ball and football in maryland and pa. think marvin graves and carmello, local products from dc and baltimore areas. of course, i have to day, for the past say at least 5 years, we have not had a chance in the world to beat navy’s triple opton., so its good they were not on the schedule. and they are doing nothing but gettng even stronger. beat a down nd program twice, walked all over missouri in the bowl game. and nearly beat OSU IN COLUMBUS AT THE HORSESHOE THIS YEAR! and that qb of theirs is fearsome.. what most run opton or triple opton teams dream about, a quick and strong runner who can throw on the run downfield. so i say, bring back games with maryland, navy and army. who we used to play all the time when almost all east teams were independents

anytime,anywhere is their motto. and unlike boise state, shoot, it could give us some recognition with CA jucos players if we beat them bulldogs from the central valley".

we should always look for games in areas that we recruit heavily. that is why penn state is a great rival game , maryland, also.. and any school in florida, tho i really dont like the concept of taking on the big 3" u know who, the miami most wanted list types, free shoe u, or the gators. lets be honest, that means running with the big dogs too much. better with florida atllantic, or central florida, famu, schools like that. the entire team would love playing in f lorida in say nov, and it gives su more brand name recogination. and i can state for a fact, just lee county, fort myers/ cape coral / area, has got more college prospects then whole states like minnesota, indiana, ct, mass, maine, nh, ri, vt, u get the drift. they in fact get colleges from all over the usa that recruit lee county.think that is where what is his name, the wvu running back is from.

it was never a mistake, they were like the kansas state of the east coast. they would actually play like say 2 big dogs a year. the rest of the time, schools like akron, temple, etc. the first big dog they would get real hyped up for. and also the second in their bowl games. pretty much, they have never gotten over the hump.. now adays. seems like that they have real problems with michigan and iowa. much less ohio state. it was very easy for them to exert max effert on 2 big games a year and coast for the rest of the season. but now in the big 11, they got too many other big dogs to contend with, they have not really challenged for the championship numero uno since they foolishly joined the big 11.plus all their male and female sports teams have to travel to iowa, wisconsin, mn, et al. and rivals like wvu , syracuse, pitt, from before, hardly exist any more. very stupid on their part. all because joe pa was greedy and did not want to go home and home i am sure,not only with us, but wvu and pitt. or share football revenue.

With the Big East in its current form here is how I would want the schedule:

7 Big East Games
1 D1AA — Everyone’s doing it
1 MAC/CUSA/Army/Navy type team — Get 2 Home games for 1 road game
2 Traditional/Regional BCS teams — PSU, VT, BC, MD, UM, ND, etc…
1 Other*

*For the next couple of years we might want to get another MAC/CUSA type team to get the win total up. After that I would like to see us play other BCS private universities. Most aren’t that much better than us and make interesting matchups between schools with real student athletes. I’m thinking teams like Duke, NW, Vandy, Stanford, Purdue, etc…

Unless you are in the hunt for the national championship (and realistically how often is that going to happen?) the schedule outside the Big East doesn’t mean much. I would rather us play a tougher schedule to get more fans in the Dome, get some national respect, and if we do have a good team it would put us in a position to get us to a BCS bowl game.
