Message: [QUOTE="JoeSU, post: 380651, member: 309"] Some folks seem to have a macho attitude about "to play the best, you have to beat the best". Fine. But a winning attitude, like the "finding a way to lose" mental rut we are stuck in, needs to be imbued in the culture of the football program. Until we acquire some confidence and swagger, we have absolutely no business playing the OOC schedule we have. As much as it kills me to admit this, one needs to look no further than Rutgers for the scheduling formula for building a top 20 program. Sure, a lot of fans will stay away if we play a weaker schedule, but what has our current over-scheduling reaped attendance-wise? I place a LOT of our current woes at the feet of Gross and the folks in the athletic dept. Marrone was dealt a daunting schedule this year and deserves a break in his efforts to rebuild the program.
