Football Opponent

The question I have is, what would people think about a game against a team like Hawaii. I was thinking about this from a couple of different angles.

1) If we were to go FBS, how in the first transitional year that game would/could be our "bowl" game

2) trying to schedule them as a future OOC opponent.

thoughts...

As long as it scheduled at least a year or so in advance, it sounds great. The problem for the Chuck Souths of the world is that they were scheduled on somewhat short notice.

It would be like a bowl game experience. Of course, so would a game at UTSA.

We have a timeshare in HI so we'd definitely try to go if we could do the airfare. Any excuse to go back to the islands is a good one.

I have a friend there and I would be happy to share time with him and his family. Let's get it done, Paul.

That's a horrible trip for an east coast team. The only way it can work well is if you have a bye week after.

Paul does not handle football scheduling any more. Mickey Guridy does.

When did that change? Why did that change? But if you want anything done HE is the person to go to in any case :D

I spoke with Mickey at the Liberty at Montana game last year in 2012. Mickey has been covering scheduling of games at least since the beginning of 2012 season, or longer.

+1 -- I'd also be in for a Liberty vs. Hawaii game in Honolulu. We have timeshare options there, and it is a relatively short flight for us as my wife and I are already in West U.S. Was just in HI this summer for vaca. Might also be good for recruiting.

First, I am for a Liberty vs. any FBS school. Second, a game against Hawaii sounds great! Third, a game against FAU,FIU, Miami, UCF or USF sounds just as beachy and warm but several thousand dollars less expensive and easier to get to.

I dream of the day "one of the big boy conference teams" make a visit to Williams Stadium.
