Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 2014034, member: 837"] It's not a straw man at all -- the point is we need to get better period. The idea that scheduling horrendous teams inherently makes us better is a strategy but hardly a remedy for what ails this program. Ok, you can go to whatever bowl at 5-7 this year if you replace ND with southwestern Louisiana baptist. Ok, cool, I love the 15 extra practices and good for the team but ultimately we are in the exact same spot next year. And, don't forget, Ohio state would draw 85K to an algebra final featuring a backup LB. we struggle give away 35K for Pitt. That matters in the pocket book and for recruits. People come out to see a good team. They stay home for NW Missouri. The point is the program needs to improve. Schedule a few wins? Ok, but they can't duck solid OOC competition for long. It just doesn't work in upstate NY [/QUOTE]
