I had mixed feelings about replacing at Army with Kansas at Syracuse.  Liked adding a home game.  IMHO, we should have 7 home games most years.

We didn’t (again) in 2023.

But I was not thrilled to schedule a top 25 level program instead of a decent FBS G5 program.  We need to have winning seasons year after year regardless that now and are not good enough to expect to beat top 25 teams. Insistently at home.

SMU is probably going to be another top 25 type team coming into next season.  I want to replace Army with a likely win or a sure win.  At home.  If it costs $1 million so be it.  I think the investment is worth it.  Might well make the difference between a 6-6 a a 7-5 season.  Or 7-5 and 8-4.

We need wins.  We need to show progress.  I don’t want to toughen up the schedule for 2024.  We already face a gauntlet in 2025.  We don’t need more challenges for 2024z

Let’s schedule a relatively easy schedule and win some games.  Let’s get rated and contend for a bowl in places like Jacksonville, Miami and Orlando.

Of course, it is easy to say let’s spend $1 million or so on a buy game when you are a fan.  Might not be so easy for JW…..
