One Franklin tradition I hope we continue is to humiliate the terps. That year it will be the season ender. We also have an all-northeast OOC schedule, thats neat.

How do you feel about PSU-Pitt coming back?

PSU has no OOC scheduled beyond 2028. Pittsburgh has 4 OOC in 2029 (if they play 9 ACC games they'll have to cut one). Start back up in 2030?

As I'm sure you know, we just completed a series with WV and a canceled 'cause of Covid VT series. Cuse and Temple are both already scheduled. UVA is hopefully blacklisted due to cancelling on us after we played them away in the mid-2010s. The options left are BC, maybe UConn, ND, another attempt at VT, a national opponent or another series with Pitt, probably a 2 and 2 just like last time. I suspect one of the New England schools, then ND or a random top national opponent, then Pitt in the mid-late 2030s. That would be about 16 years after a four game series ended in 2019, just like 2016 was 16 years after a four game series ended in 2000.
