The question also consist of Freeze rather wanted more P5's or games they can win. He said both, so we could get 3+ P5's either G5's with the FCS. Basivally, we may not have any more FCS as we may think we may have on schedule. More to come in the upcoming weeks :lol:
Whoever asked that question did a wonderful job.

Interesting comparison. I remember when Fresno St and Boise St were on the rise. Their philosophy was they’d play anyone anytime anywhere. Obviously Boise has had more sustained success but it is interesting to compare those statements with Freeze. I would think a similar philosophy could pay serious dividends this season.

No, and I'll never go, unless somehow Liberty plays in it. I forgot the details, but I have read that Rose Bowl holds the entire bowl system hostage. They are a bunch of crybabies who have to have their pacify.

You read something somewhere and can't remember the details, therefore "Rose Bowl bad". Typical.

I read something but don’t remember what it said so I’m just going to make something up so it matches my world view. Classic fraudcoach.

Matt Brown, a college football writer who never has liked Liberty took Freeze quote about only testing symptomatic players and is basically saying Liberty is failing to meet NCAA standards. How often are players tested?

Symons said he would let freeze address aubrey williams status when nick asked him about him. Any idea what that was about?

So hes not on the roster now and amari jenkins is out for the year. Dangerously thin at lb if hes gone and jenkins is out and cozad gone

If we play we need to find a lb with that other scholly.

Wish somebody would ask about humes or fuster. If they cant help we can barely fill out a 2 deep.

You do realize That Alabama OWNS the Rose Bowl, the Granddaddy of them all, and that their fight song opines the glory of playing in that game. :football

The venue sucks in September but is magical on Jan 1 - hard to describe the difference between a UCLA game in 95 degree weather mid day In early Sept vs Rose Bowl in Jan at 72 Degrees at sunset with 2 big teams playing - it is like 2 different places. And I have been to multiple and NC games all over - hands down Rose Bowl is the best on Jan 1. Herbstreit and Fowler don’t exaggerate - it is the best. Expand your horizons BC.

The Sugar Bowl in New Orleans is best bowl, most years. I would not watch a PAC 12 vs Big 10 game no matter where it's played.

I cannot expand my horizons to California for anything but softball.

Ha. This is an exceptional year where scores and records can be thrown out the window. Having a One Off year where you might lose but can be competitive won’t crush the psyche of your team and will ramp up exposure. You will generate a LOT of good will for the future and it would be a fun ride. As a long term strategy at L.u I’m not sure it’s sustainable but for just this year? Could be a gold mine

Need to get the Hoos to Williams. If I understand ACC rules, their oc game must only be played in the state of Virginia.

UVA probably leads the nation in "home" games over past 10 seasons. They've always opened at home it seems. Always with a cupcake.

We appear to be only aiming for 10 games. I get that we have contingency plans if an FCS school cancels, but what if Syracuse or some other school cancels. We could be left with 8 or 9 games. I think we should add the following games:

10/3. Texas State, Rice
9/5 - Middle Tennessee, UTEP, UTSA

That gives us 12 games and does not hurt our bowl chances at all as both teams were bad last year.

Yea, I was reading one of their forums. They want a cupcake before playing Tech. They don't want anything to do with Army's offence that week.

If you don't believe me, research it. They always seem to open at home against FCS schools.

Again, so does Tech. This has been covered over and over again with you yet you seem to ignore it.
