Re: Meanwhile at Marshall...I would advocate playing the same OOC schedule we had this year but I would rearrange the games so we could have them at different dates. Start the season vs an AAC team, play NT and BU/TT afterwards. Play A&M in Nov., and maybe have TCU be the last game.
Re: Meanwhile at Marshall...
What would you define "games we can win" as? We have NTSU and likely an FCS team on the schedule next year, are those "games we can win"? How much weaker do we need to make the schedule? They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security

Tom probably would prefer we just play the whole Southland conference, although I'm not sure we would squeak out more than 2 wins there at this anyway. BOP - Providing insensitivity training for a politically correct world since 1989.
Re: Meanwhile at Marshall...Marshall is going to take the access bowl bid. Bank on it.
Re: Meanwhile at Marshall...
True, at least half that league would beat us. Very few people realize just how bad our team is. They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security

Re: Meanwhile at Marshall...I don't fault them because they probably will win every game on their schedule. But that schedule just plain sucks. I know that Marshall wants to play WVU every year but the Mountaineers aren't interested. But that schedule just plain sucks and they don't deserve a major bowl if they win out.
Also, SMU should hire Marshall's coach, whoever that is.
Re: Meanwhile at Marshall...
I'm a Southwest Conference guy. I've travelled to Lubbock, College Station, Waco and Fort Worth for the poundings we took in these games. I loved playing those teams and hope we meet them again in the Big 12 one day. We haven't been competitive with them for nearly 30 years now. I'm just looking to try a new approach.
Re: Meanwhile at Marshall...
We haven't been competitive with them because we haven't had the coaching staff nor the admissions/academic model to get the talent necessary to do so. We have the model so now we need the staff. Let that be our new approach and see if it works before we just give up to play ball in the Southland Conference.

Re: Meanwhile at Marshall...Love the name of Marshall's coach-Doc Holiday.
Re: Meanwhile at Marshall...Better question is would we even have a winning record with their schedule?
Re: Meanwhile at Marshall...
We'd be 1-11 with their schedule (the 1 being Rhode Island). They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security
