At least with Sun Belt road games you know it will be on TV/streaming. C-USA road games can be hard to find.

GS is fine opponent for us combined with our regular AAC schedule. GS is an up and coming program that should be winnable and still be a good test on the field. Im not real keen on the Atlanta game..but..Id rather have that than the App series in Boone and Charlotte. Our AD needs his fcking head examined on that deal.

Yeah I like that we are going away from the murderers row. Going 1-3/0-4 non conference has us out of the Access bowl before October.

I completely agree. If we play 1 FCS @ DFS, 1 G on a home-away rotation, 1 regional P @ home, 1 regional P away, that's a good mix. No need to schedule the way we have been with the conference continually improving and us getting our asses handed to us year upon year. We generally have success against our regular ACC foes so that would be a decent mix. I don't care if we ever play USC again. Finish this contract such that it is and tell them to @#$% off back to where they came from.

Isn't the problem not that you're playing them, but that you gave them a home and home?

I would think it should be at least a 2 for 1 if not a buy game.

P6 can't afford to buy games from G4. What do you think this is? A P5?

Even as a wolfpack fan, I think ECU needs to right the ship with a new AD. I get playing a P5 at home first but to schedule G5 away games first is insane. I mean who would blame APP and GSU for going for buy games that would likely more than cover what they have to pay ECU. Say it was a much as Miami/Ark St which was 650K will less than 12 month buyout that is unlikely that high. Get a 1.2 million payday game, pretty good ROI. ECU deserves better leadership.

I like their stadium. I think it's kind of quirky cool.

And who taught you geometry. They are turning their heads 10 degrees, max.

They should now start their own playoffs they so desperately want.

Is this entire conference based on fantasy? You guys can't even do that right.

We can agree on that

Let's put this in perspective fellas; these games are a loooong time away. Heck, my 12 year old, 7th grader will be in college when y'all come to Atlanta and hopefully a 23 year old graduate by the time GSU visits ECU. Literally anything can happen with our 2 programs between now and then. We didn't even have a team 10 years ago! So take solace that we are at least a program that is trying very hard to be part of the "haves" (investing in facilities, growing our base, scheduling up) instead of some of those that feel relegated to the "have nots".

Very true. By that time this could be a conference game...

Couldn't you find a picture of your stadium where the scoreboard showed a game that you were winning?

I think the top teams in the conference should carry their weight and schedule the harder games unless it's a rivalry while the smaller ones schedule the easier ones until they can get in their groove. I hate seeing teams schedule power house programs and can't even beat a lowly mwc foe.

I mean every blue blood program out there schedules cup cakes so it's all good. It's only a problem if your on the Fringe of being on the top 25 or shooting for a conference title. It's the simple crawl,walk,run scenario.

And GA state has been doing good in their conference. So I like it.

Jesus Christ ecu has two bad seasons

“Murderers row”=FCS, NCSU/UNC, USC/VT/WVU, G5

Give me a break. If a team can’t win 2 of those games they’re going to lose more than one conference game anyway

Direct me to these two P5 games post-2022. i.e. what Compher has scheduled

That would be an "ideal" scenario in my opinion.
