Yep some folks have not figured that out yet.Bingo. Recruits aren't diving into who we played, they're looking at 9-3 or 10-2 and saying "that's a good football program"

Yup. This is about changing perceptions. The reality of the SOS is a different debate and far less meaningful at the start of the Fran Brown era. And, the SOS of the 25 schedule will give SU a golden opportunity to change perception into reality. Perfect storm.Bingo.

Okay, that was a joke. This is some place called the Grape Bowl. Maaa. That was the sound a goat makes.Their stadium is way nicer than I expected. The field is relatively level and has some grass on it.
And they have power.
UNLV in Allegiant? They'd sell 10k tickets maxIf you want a P5 (or P4) opponent, Northwestern and TCU appear to need games.
If you want a non-P5 FBS opponent with an attractive destination, UNLV needs to replace Army too. 9/21 and 10/19 are open. UNLV is probably looking for an FCS opponent.
- Northwestern still needs a twelfth game with open dates on 9/14 and 11/9. This could be a seventh home game for us which certainly offsets playing a stronger opponent.
- TCU appears to need a home game with possible open dates in September. TCU is probably looking for an FCS opponent.
We don't need UMass (unless they come to us) or some FCS school.
Northwestern at Home would be a good test.
If we have to go on the road, playing UNLV in Allegiant Stadium would be a good place to play.

Neither Northwestern nor TCU have an FCS game scheduled, so they will most likely go that route.If you want a P5 (or P4) opponent, Northwestern and TCU appear to need games.

Am I the only one that thinks this stadium looks fantastic?Okay, that was a joke. This is some place called the Grape Bowl. Maaa. That was the sound a goat makes.
Here is the real stadium:
Are their big parking lots next to the stadium we can take over for tailgating?
Looks like the answer is yes.
Yep. Northwestern already is playing Duke and TCU is playing Stanford and SMU, both will add FCSNeither Northwestern nor TCU have an FCS game scheduled, so they will most likely go that route.
I heard they may be making some upgrades in the summer. Hard to believe the state of Mass would be so boneheaded about that facility.
Amherst is a pretty place.Am I the only one that thinks this stadium looks fantastic?
Nothing like a Lobster Roll tailgate!Okay, that was a joke. This is some place called the Grape Bowl. Maaa. That was the sound a goat makes.

Wow that’s what regional conferences would be like???? So stupid these conferences nowHaving three games within two hours of me would be amazing next year.
Wife went there for grad school and it’s fantastic. She lived at Amherst college which is even nicer.Amherst is a pretty place.
The ACC still has that for their old members. The SEC has it intact and the B1G does too. That's why college football is more popular in those places, IMO. Syracuse and BC are in no mans land.Wow that’s what regional conferences would be like???? So stupid these conferences now
Can't tell if that's sarcasm but honestly, if this plays out, I'll be at all 3 gamesWow that’s what regional conferences would be like???? So stupid these conferences now
No I’m being completely real. Conference regionalization is what made it great. It’s foolish we are back slapping the idea of playing 3 games so close. That’s kinda how it should be. If Penn st, bc, UConn, Pitt, Rutgers, army were the schedule we would be localized.Can't tell if that's sarcasm but honestly, if this plays out, I'll be at all 3 games
If memory serves, we never played in Foxborough. I think all the Flutie games were still in Alumni Stadium but I could be wrong.Wife went there for grad school and it’s fantastic. She lived at Amherst college which is even nicer.
I would think if we played UMass we play at Gillette. UMass used to play there. Last time we played in foxboro was flutie years no?
