UCF in talks with ACC and others to upgrade FB Schedule

[LHS81]

Part of me wants SMU to get payroll players.

[Treadway21]

I guess everybody just wants a soft schedule and the MWC and a one way ticket to irrelevancy.

[gostangs]

I want B.E and a soft schedule so I can crow about 9-10 wins while on my way to a relevant bowl.

[Treadway21]

But then everyone complains about attendance - though I hear where you are coming from.

Just don't get the MWC lovers.

[Digetydog]

Why are SMU fans even bothering with the BCS charade if you are scared to play mid-level BCS schools at home?

Not worried about the home games.

The hard non-conf schedule was set up when we had a horrible CUSA schedule.

Long term, I'd like to set the Aggies, Baylor and TCU remain with a SFA level game to start the season and work the kinks out.

[Bergermeister]

we need to un-bolster out schedule. Nothing like 0-4 to suck all the excitement out of the year before mid October.

We do it to ourselves. We need a schedule blueprint for success.

Win one and we're relevant. No reason to believe this cant be done. Everyone wants to go B12 but when we play a B12 schedule, you whine? We've gotta show we can compete. I think next year could surprise us in a good way. Baylor and Tech are not that much better. It's all coaching and mental toughness. June has thus far refused to prepare for games against old SWC rivals. That better change...and I realize that A&M is good. But one guy should not win games for you. Just make an Fing tackle. It was so fun to watch him make us look silly all bowl season!

Agreed, with the exception of TCU.

Agreed, with the exception of TCU.

And Tech a few years ago (2010? Whatever year it was that we lost by 8 in Lubbock)

It takes talent too, the type of talent June has shown very little interest in acquiring. We'll be at a serious disadvantage in the trenches and at the skill positions, coaching and mental toughness can't cover that up.

We were getting blown out in that one too until late in the 3rd quarter.

I know a lot of people echo this sentiment, but I think that it is off base. People go on and on about his ego, then say he does not care if he loses games? To me, those are contradictory sentiments.

My belief is that he does his very best to win, but his best is just not good enough.

That is most definitely the best solutions for the wusses who want meaningless wins and people like me who want the losses that might come at a price of a blowout. Have one easy win to get players ready to go up against tough teams is what we need. However, playing a tough team first when they need adjustment as well isn't bad either. There's always a pro and a con. But taking away AM and putting a crap FCS team in would be beneficial.
