Talk about the Buckeyes the Wolverines the Hilltoppers the Ducks the Beavers the Chanticleers... or anyone else who isn't BG or an opponent in this forum.

Simple. New AD has made it clear that 2 for 1s are not the way to go. 2 for 1s are what Toledo does, that's why Iowa State and Purdue have been to UT recently. GC would rather do 1 and 1s. It's all part of getting six home games consistently, though he's had to work with a mess of contracts to get there and it will take some time. UT had that random 7 home game schedule recently, but that was just contracts all lining up at the right time for the home part of 2 for 1s. Also partly due to UT playing a 1-AA pansy pretty often - no need to schedule a return visit, but really not worth it because there's no exposure available when beating Liberty (barely), McNeese State, and Western Illinois.
The past few years have been about cleaning up contractual messes from the previous AD, who did use 2 for 1s a lot, so we've had the Boise fiasco, which GC cleaned up rather nicely considering the circumstances given, and the Pitt game in 08, which turned out nicely. Now we are doing 1 and 1s, like home and "home" against Wisconsin, home and home against Minnesota, and future home and homes with Maryland and Indiana.
Personally, I'll take the home and home option in a heartbeat over 2 for 1s. It makes the school look better, it makes us more of a force in negotiating contracts, and will lead to consistently six home games a year.
You are no force in negotiating contracts. You are a force in getting screwed over when it comes scheduling. Iowa St was a 1 for 1. Same with Fresno St, Boise St and Ohio St.
BG's schedule for the past couple of years has blown... for you to say otherwise is just dishonest on your part.
2005- 5 Home games in a 11 game schedule... HOME OPENER played in freaking october!! bwahahaha!!!
2006- 4 home games on a 12 game schedule... wow, a force in negotiating to be sure!
2007- 5 home games on a 12 game schedule... I can see how youre finally starting to be that force you were talking about!
2008- same as the year before... 5 home games on a 12 game schedule.
Do you even read our posts before you reply???
Man, what a great representation of UT you are.....and im being serious in case your wondering.

I'll be honest. This is the first time I have ever read one of your posts... and it will likely be the last time.
you're wondering... I think thats what you meant. Great representation blah blah blah.

Does UT even have a varsity hockey program? *crickets* Bueller? Bueller? Ferris Bueller? TJ's working on taking over Tek as the most annoying poster on this forum. Next time you want to get us to go "OH SNAP! You got us good!" I wouldn't use an article about people busting their azzez for our University.
C'mon, V- TJ worse than teke? Not even close. And he's one of your own, a brother Falcon. Check out the BG trolls on our board. Goes with the territory. And to answer your question with another question- does BG even have a varsity hockey program?

So when did you guys get your OWN board anyway?
Well. like AZZ somebody actually owns it and it isn't me so it doesn't really belong to any of the posters but one. But it says Rockets on it and most of the posters are Rocket fans and you.
