Realistic Dream Schedule:

ODU . . . . . In state Rival
Army . . . . . Independent w/ National Following
@ BYU . . . . . One of three schools we strive to excel like (Too early for ND)
@ Virginia . . . . . Just up the road
New Mexico St. . . . . . Fellow Indy in need of scheduling
@ UMass . . . . . See note above
@ Duke . . . . . Easy drive for our fan base
Coastal Carolina . . . . . Old rival and a game we could likely schedule
@ San Jose St. . . . . . West coast exposure
@ Western Kentucky . . . . . Just because it's my home state
@ FAU . . . . . Building a bridge to FL recruiting
UTSA . . . . . Texas exposure

I know there should (and will be) an FCS team on the schedule, but I don't want there to be. I say we leave FCS behind and schedule winnable FBS schools.

Was not really think about having Liberty at UMass for Nov 24th but at Liberty. Don't like the idea of having only 5 home games, but it's hard to get excited about an FCS game in late November. Don't see a good argument of pushing for Liberty verses a local FCS team.

If Liberty still needed a 5th FBS home game would be neutral on the idea of us getting a big pay check and only have 5 home games. The caveat is that that money would go towards our stadiums improvements.

Did post my thoughts on UMassHoops.com recently, but no comments.

Footnote as you may realize that Ian McCaw was the AD @ UMass for 2002-3
