[QUOTE="Rocco, post: 769980, member: 51"] Amen to this post. I used to be very rah-rah about scheduling tough teams, and that was certainly Marrone's philosophy as well. However, starting off the season 0-2 by playing Penn St and NW does no good. Sure your players got to play against better competition and all of that, but it kills momentum in every facet (recruiting, rankings, quasi-fan support, etc). There are NO moral wins. I am all about scheduling one big OOC game per year (ideally Penn St or WVU), playing U of Buffalo or another MAC, 1 FBS and maybe another low-level FCS (like Memphis or something). This would give us a chance to go 4-0 OOC and have to win only 2 ACC games just to get to a bowl. You win 4 ACC games and you're at 8 wins and a better bowl... 6-2 ACC and you're at 10 wins... on and on. That model makes sense. Sure we get a nice revenue spike for playing at MetLife Stadium, but . If you want to get support from your local fans, we have to remain committed to keeping the "big" games in the Dome. Now that we're in the ACC, we will have at least Clemson or FSU every year in the Dome. Our big OOC game should also be added to that slate every other year. That gets fans excited to actually come to the Dome. [/QUOTE]
