So excited for these new games.

there is no possible positive spin that comes out of scheduling kansas other than that they are even more of a punching bag over the last 10 years than we are

Schedule teams where we actually recruit. BC hasn't recruited Indiana, Kansas, Illinois or Missouri in forever. Replace those schools with Maryland, Texas Tech, and maybe Georgia or something. We at least recruit there.

I actually love the idea of playing Kansas. It is fun travelling to places you'd never otherwise go... and playing teams that you really have nothing in common with. There is a mutual respect that develops as you aren't really ever in competition with each other. It kinda is like why BC and Clemson fans get along so well.

eepstein0 {l Wrote}:You'd seriously travel to watch BC play Kansas in football?

I am as die-hard as they come and there is a 0% chance I will go to that.

I will go to Mizzou for whatever that is worth

I'd absolutely go and am planning on it depending on the date. I love visiting these out-of-the-way college towns. I've actually been to a game in Stillwater... which was a great trip. Lawrence sound like a place that could hold my interest for a weekend...

- Yukon gets 1.1mm to move game
- BC gets 7k tickets but FSG gets 10, so effectively I'd imagine it's a 22-17k split (and yukon will not fill allotment)
- Not sure if they will get logo'ing on field/stadium

$1.1 mil is a serious payout for UConn.

Saturday Day: UMass vs. Maine
Saturday Night: BC vs. UConn

This is good for New England.

Are they putting synthetic turf over the grass, or is this a situation that's ready made for a serious knee injury on a chewed-up field?

ATLeagle {l Wrote}:My guess is Daz drove this schedule more than Bates.

Which makes sense as he's got 4 years left on his contract.

In all honesty, I have no problem with these ads. Like it or not, Kansas and Rutgers are peer programs... at least they are based on the last 8 years (and likely the next 4). The schedule going forward is fine. Of the eleventy billion things to criticize the program on, getting winnable P5 games on the schedule is simply not one of them.

This. Heading to Alumni to watch them play Purdue, Rutgers or Kansas is a lot better than going to see Wagner, Buffalo or UConn. It's fine considering the state of the program. Win games and play an exciting team in a bowl game.

This. The program is a joke with no hope in sight. These are the games that they should be playing so that they don't get blown out and can eventually make it to a really bad/boring bowl match-up.

Ugh I hate defending Daz and BC.

To say this program is a joke makes you sound ridiculous.

They are in the bottom 5 or 10 of the P5 programs regarding facilities and fan support. In addition, they are 46-56, 23-41 in conference since Spaz took over. 18 games under .500 in conference with no major changes in the foreseeable future doesn't bode well for the program. IDK how much worse things need to get before they can be accurately categorized as not being good. But let's see how a freshman or another 5th year QB does next year... things are bound to turn around.
