Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 785154, member: 27"] I would have preferred to play a MAC school closer to an area we recruit (UB, Northern Illinois, Akron, etc.) or a school that would be easier to drive to and attend, but I agree, this isn't a disaster. It is great to open with an almost sure victory. Finally. IMHO this should be the first objective with each schedule and we have failed to get it done for far too many years in a row. I am okay with a 1 and 1 with a MAC school. You are right, the days of the 2 for 1s are long gone. (this better be a 1 and 1 series). A 1 and 1 with Maryland makes a great deal of sense; it is a peer school that plays in an area we recruit and where we have a concentration of alums and fans. Lastly, I like that for once, we were not among the last schools in BCS conferences to complete our schedule. So sal-ute Herm Frazier. This (ginger) ale is for you! [/QUOTE]
