good get

[Catfanatic]

Agreed that is a good get.

[michigancat]

2 for 1?  good get.  home/home?  Not a good get.

[ksu_FAN]

Sorta interesting that its a home and home.  I suppose college football has reached that point.

This

Days of getting 2 for 1 are pretty well over.

get good home/homes, then.  Prince got dozens of them.  These home/homes are stupid.

Key to success is schedule sucky teams

[mikeycat]

I think uCF is a decent get.   Texas just played them last weekend.

at home.  these games on the road aren't good.

2 for 1 series.

[michigancat]

Who did Snyder puss out on?

I seriously doubt our 2012 schedule will be:

@UCF
@Oregon
Miami
North Texas

It would be pretty sweet if it was, though.

Rusty, I get where you're coming from.  But a) do you really think we have the position to schedule that Texas does and b) did you really think Snyder would deviate from his former scheduling practices?  

I'm sure Snyder is ticked we aren't in position to do these as 2 for 1s like he was scheduling at the end of his last tenure.  But he also understands we can't schedule two 1-AAs a year either.  Its just become that much harder to schedule cheap like he did early on.  I'd imagine there are some advantages financially to scheduling a non-BCS school in a home and home vs what Prince was trying to do, at least in Snyder's mind.  

[Catfanatic]

Well we aren't Texas, their stadium holds 100K+ that speaks louder than a 50K stadium. I still think it is a good series for us, we recruit Florida and it gives us a chance to show the team off in the sunshine state for potential recruits. For the same reasons we should schedule home & homes with some of the non bcs Texas schools as well.

[Rick Daris]

if we have to play an ooc road game, it should be against a crappy fbs team in a good location. ucf seems to fit the bill. great get.

[C_Manbeck]

UCF will likely replace the trip to Oregon. Miami in all likelihood will stay on the schedule.

[Copper Bowl]

Please oh please oh please . . . .

Figure out a way to schedule a home/home with Western Kentucky.

[michigancat]

Rusty, I get where you're coming from.  But a) do you really think we have the position to schedule that Texas does and b) did you really think Snyder would deviate from his former scheduling practices? 

Then compare to ISU's 2-1's with San Jose State and Kent State.  Or Miss. St's 2-1 with Troy.  Or CU's 2-1 with Fresno.

I'd imagine there are some advantages financially to scheduling a non-BCS school in a home and home vs what Prince was trying to do, at least in Snyder's mind. 

I have no idea how you think there would be a financial advantage for a home-home w/ a non-BCS vs. a BCS school. 

I will admit that series like this are more common than I thought after looking.  ku has a home-home w/ Northern Illinois, and MU has a home-home w/ Wyoming in the future.

exactly. and good luck trying to look for epcot center in wyoming or universal studios in craptown dekalb. i'm pretty sure you won't find them.

I'd probably go to chicago for a NIU trip.  It's an easy drive for me.

I'm just thinking there has to be some incentive to do it still.  I'm sure there is some sort of splitting of the gate/cash advantage for the BCS schools in these home and home deals that they can't get in a deal with a BCS school.  Granted, you can talk TV revenue/exposure advantages as well, but I'm sure Snyder discounts those b/c there is no guarantee there, plus its likely that if you get it right you can still get these games on TV too.

Space Mountain Pak  

[WildCatzPhreak]

Considering the schedule we have now, absolutely schedule sucky teams home and home.  2+ BCS teams in the nonconference each year would not be good for us.

I mean, I'd prefer one home game only, or 2 for 1's, but we don't have the cash or influence to make that happen right now.

You don't have enough faith in Snyder.  He wouldn't lose to anyone.

A September game between BCS opponents is pretty much 100% guaranteed to be telelvised (unlike @ULL).  not sure about the gate-split thing.

Space Mountain Pak  

I was just there last week and Space Mountain was shut down.   

But I could go for a Mission Space Pak or a Soarin' Pak, if you will.

I love this new emaw'd out Rusty.  Much better than the "we suck, just accept it" model.

I'd probably go to chicago for a NIU trip.  It's an easy drive for me.

great.

maybe you and some of the michiganders could carpool and head to the big city together. then you guys could hit up nike town and shedd aquarium before your two hour drive to dekalb. i'll have to settle for getting on my bike and coasting downhill to mhk then hopping on AA jet to dallas then to orlando then basically just having the time of my life for a few days.

it's only about an hour from DT Chicago.  I'll probably actually go to an elite coffee shop, and an indie music show at one of Chicago's many fine music establishments, and finish it up with a nightcap at a wine bar.  SO HAVE FUN W/ YOUR DORKY CARTOON CHARACTERS.

True.  I don't think Snyder thinks that way unfortunately.  (no idea why)

Now, if Snyder is willing to move the game, TV vs a CUSA team would be a good bet.  But will Snyder be willing to do one of those Thursday or even Friday night deals?

so it would be coffee, horrible music, night cap at a wine bar with four hours worth of driving and a football game in beautiful dekalb illinois sprinkled somewhere in the middle. gotcha. have fun w/ that. the other michiganders just called me and told you that you're prob flying solo on this vaca. sorry. no need to call them. have fun w/ that though.
