[*]We were supposed to know years ahead of time that our HC and 6 assistants would jump ship to the NFL?
[*]Maryland? We are supposed to be afraid to play Maryland?!! 
[*]We almost beat NW last year - actually had them beat until a dumb PF in then last few minutes.  I would not mind playing them next year.
[*]Playing on TV is worth more than win over some turkey.
[*]Putting players in the league is worth more than wins also. Ask kids how many players we put in the NFL last year and then ask then our record.

When you dumb down your schedule there are no guarantees. You might actually be embarrassed by losing to one of those teams - and you will be less prepared for tougher competition. It is not an open and closed case that scheduling patsies is a sound strategy - not by a long shot.

SU has clawed its way back to respectability and is on the rise. We are out of a lousy football conference and into the best (IMHO) conference. We will weather this little bump in the road just fine and look playing to you guys for many years to come.
