UNLV?

Pajama party night for the Zags, ala circa 1999?

Those late tip-offs vs. TCU were always a blast! Well, except when we'd lose to the likes of Lee Nailon and company...

That's a really solid non-con schedule. I don't know how many on the board realize what a job the AD and HC have done but there are some really good and entertaining opponents coming to Moody this year. Guys got it real lucky to watch high-quality basketball at home instead of a neutral site. Want proof? Look at OSU's non-con games over the last 10 years...usually one marquee home opponent, everyone else is on the road. This year Virginia is the only team to write home about. Granted the conference schedule is much better than the AAC but even that isn't guaranteed always with 14 teams in the league. Some of the best teams you only play on the road so you don't always get all the top dogs in the conference. Here's the OOC for Ohio State so you can see what I'm saying. Yeah, there's good opponents, but neutral floors. Home schedule OOC kinda blows tbh.
