Message: [QUOTE="Stern, post: 1881898, member: 527"] Agree and I have been beating this drum for years and on this board for years I am sure you can dig up the posts. I wouldn't even schedule UCONN...I mean why? What do we gain? Helps them more than it helps us! Look, if we can face reality that we are one of the worst 3 teams in the ACC for football, then why play USF and UCONN (forget about, ND, LSU, Wisconsin...save that debate for another day). USF and UCONN are on our level. It makes zero sense for us to add essentially 2 more "conference type" games. We have nothing to gain and everything to lose by playing the likes of USF and UCONN. I mean Alabama scheduled Kent St, W.Kentucky, and Chattanooga. Clemson schedules Troy and South Carolina St and if they weren't forced to play South Carolina they would schedule a 3rd cupcake for sure. Syracuse's AD and coaches need to face the facts, schedule wins. Syracuse should have Buffalo, Colgate, and Ball St or something along those lines on their OOC schedule every year. Not like playing USF today packed the house. The same die-hards show up anyway these days so ya might as well schedule a win! SU football is in an endless cycle of losing they won't get out of until they pad the schedule with total cupcakes OOC wise. The current system isn't working! USF...UCONN they are on our level. They might not be in a P5 conference but so what, they are on our level. We are over-scheduling too much. If there was a way to get out of that Wisconsin contract I would pay whatever it took to break that deal. I mean Buffalo lost to Albany in football 2 weeks ago, I didn't even know Albany had a team (but since they do we should look into scheduling them too.) I mean SU could have Buffalo, Albany, Army and add 1 more cupcake (Ball St, Cent Michigan, any school from the MAC) and we should be perfectly happy. Not like we aren't gonna get tested in the ACC with Clemson, FSU, and now L'ville turning into a perennial powerhouse year in and year out. [/QUOTE]
