Gr8 time and CNY'ers need to get a life...man up and go next year
well you know me and my Sopranos clan (he says with great affection!) will be there with bells on (not to mention eggplant parm, sausage with peppers and onions, rice balls, chicken cutlets, Italian heros and on and on). Even while running for cover from gail force winds and torrential downpours, it may have been the best food tailgate ever!Gr8 time and CNY'ers need to get a life...man up and go next year
BTW, the PSU game will be a de facto road game for us. I am guessing at least a 2:1 ratio of PSU fans to Cuse fans.

With the ACC coming...we'll have at least 2 marquee games a year in the Dome...equal to or better than WVU.
To throw one game on average every other year in MetLife is really not that big of a deal. Cuse got PSU to do 1-1-1's and it is a win-win for everyone. Throw in a 1-1-1 with WVU, tOSU, and Michigan. If ND joins us as a partial member throw them in there too. Schedule smartly and have 6 games in the Dome for MetLife years. If we can parlay MelLife into 1-1-1's the CNY fan will actually be better off.
I treated this as an in season Bowl Game...CNY'ers need to go if they can afford to.
It works out pretty nice if we do 1-1-1 with two OOC BCS teams per year.
Year 1- we have 6 H, 5 A, 1 ML broken down by 1AA Home, 5 ACC Home, 4 ACC Away, OOC BCS Away, OOC BCS MetLife
Year 2- we have 6 H, 5 A, 1 ML broken down by 1AA Home, 4 ACC Home, OOC BCS Home, 5 ACC Away, OOC BCS MetLife
Year 3- we have 7 H, 5 A broken down by 1AA Home, 5 ACC Home, OOC BCS Home, 4 ACC Away, OOC BCS Away
Year 4- we have 6 H, 6 A broken down by 1AA Home, 4 ACC Home, OOC BCS Home, 5 ACC Away, OOC BCS Away
Year 5- we have 6 H, 5 A, 1 ML broken down by 1AA Home, 5 ACC Home, 4 ACC Away, OOC BCS Away, OOC BCS MetLife
Year 6- we have 6 H, 5 A, 1 ML broken down by 1AA Home, 4 ACC Home, OOC BCS Home, 5 ACC Away, OOC BCS MetLife
So over a six year period we would have 6 Dome games five times with 5 BCS opponents every year. The other year we would have seven home games with six being BCS teams. Only one of the six years would we have 6 road games. And four of the six years we have a MetLife game. As a fan this would be the greatest thing possible. However it would make it very very very difficult to make a Bowl. Having to go 5-6 vs BCS teams every year isn't easy.
That being said it really is only one more BCS game than we plan on playing anyway going forward. We would have to schedule smart and go for beatable BCS teams that can draw crowds. Teams that are name brands but are beatable like Tenn, UCLA, Iowa, TCU, etc.

I like your thinking with a little tweak
We need schools that can help fill MetLife...Tenn Yes, UCLA No, Iowa Prob Not, TCU No...I think Wisconsin might be able to travel decently and would take them over UCLA, Iowa and TCU.
KingOtto...maybe to soften the schedule we schedule two near auto wins every year. We put Colgate or equivalent in the Dome every year, along with a MAC, SunBelt or CUSA team willing to a 2 for 1 or 3 for 2 or an Army/Navy for 1 for 1's. The downside is we basically say goodbye to teams like Northwestern, USF, Vandy, Baylor, Cal, Washington, etc...on our schedule.

4 games at MetLife in a 6 year period?
It was only supposed to be one every other year.
Can you rework your formula for 3 BCS teams instead of 4 over the same 6 years?
It's insanity to play 11 BCS teams every single season. Nobody else does (unless you want to be the USC of the East).
With the ACC coming...we'll have at least 2 marquee games a year in the Dome...equal to or better than WVU.

This is where the issue is though: Although we scheduled USC for a home and home (Dome), we decided to move our home game to Met Life. Then we agreed to multiple year deals with both Notre Dame/Penn State where we play an equal number of games at South Bend/State College and equal number of games at Met Life. NO GAMES IN THE DOME. This despite the obvious fact that games at Met Life versus either Penn State or Notre Dame will be at best 40%/60% in their favor - making it a true neutral site game.
You just moved the bar. You're only talking about 1-1-1's now. Nobody that I know of has ever had a problem with those.

Well All I know is ND is the only one with no return to the Dome. I think TGD needs to work 1-1-1's with schools like tOSU, Michigan, WVU. If he gets 1 Away and 1 MetLife I would be disappointed.
As for two teams equal to or better than WVU (I'm talking cachet to the casual CNY fan) FSU, Clemson, VTech, Miami...I would put UNC, GTech and NCSt in close proximity to the cachet of WVU...pretty simple stuff...not sure why you questioned this.
We agree on 1-1-1. As ti the 2 teams, will we get 2 of them every year? Some teams we only play twice every 6 years or something.
