Agree on everything. This schedule is harder on paper and easier on the mentals, with three of our in state rivals who are out for blood when they play us off the list. Of the three off (Army Albany Hobart), Albany is probably the most disappointing. It is highly likely that they will be the best team in the American East this year, with minimal losses in the offseason and some promising young talent. Wish we found a way to play them while dropping one of Jacksonville Utah Vermont or Manhattan.

On that subject, I also wish we just dropped Manhattan all together, despite the Odierna connection. No real opportunity to improve as a team or learn anything by teeing of on a team of their caliber. Even if they win their conference, which is far from guaranteed, it is unlikely to be any sort of RPI boost. For a team with such an experienced starting lineup like ours I really do not see the point other than extending an olive branch to Odierna's former school, which just ain't worth it
