FWIW, I think FIU had to pay a $175,000 penalty for not honoring their contract.

I think an ideal OOC schedule next year for me would be...

vs. Minnesota
@ Memphis
vs. SEMO
@ Ohio St

With the next season having Memphis come to the Doyt, and starting a new home & home series with a lower tier BCS team like Minnesota.

That's about where we are headed. The only clunker in here is the trip to Boise State. I would hope that, eventually, they make the trip to BG, but this series has been so hard to figure out.

2008
Aug. 30 @ Pittsburgh - eventually, we gotta play this one, the last part of a two for one deal that started in 1999. It's winnable.
Sept. 6 vs. Minnesota - the good side of a home and home, and a winnable game.
Sept. 20 @ Wyoming - first part of a home-and-home. Winnable.
Oct. 4 @ Boise State - Not sure where this gets us.
2009
Sept. 3 vs. Troy - First part of a home and home, I would think. Winnable, although Troy is no pushover.
Sept. 12 @ Missouri - another game we need to get out of the way. This is the third part of a two-for-one that started in 2001.
Sept. 26 @ Marshall -- Good get. First part of a home and home. Winnable.
Oct. 3 vs. Wyoming -- The good side of a home and home. Winnable.

It seems like the department is moving away from two-for-one deals. I guess I'd like to see them once in a while if they get us more interesting home games every few years. And, if we do them, then absolutely bring in a I-AA school to fill the gap in home games.

If we do schedule a 1AA school don't get Appalachian State

Agreed. With the 12-game schedule, we need to think balance.

Oh, you mean 4 home games just isn't cutting it for you?

*sarcasm*

How many home games do we have next year? I really want to be able to check out more than 4 in a season, so if we get 6 I'll be happy.
