Welcome to BlazerTalk Mr. Dilfer!

I just love we have a coach that gets advice from Bill Parcells. His circle of influence is massive

Also, UAB is about to get alot of Bucs, Seahawks, Fresno State and such fans just by him being here. Growing the fan base and the reach of the team.

I’ve seen some Fresno Fans pumped for him. One even suggested a home and home. I can get behind that.

That would be incredible.

...yep - noted just that to a Fresno poster over on the realignment board... I DO think there is a solid chance we can bring in some 'upgrades' in terms of OOC home games... obviously keep the HBCU openers, but instead of having a few SBC teams, snag a MWC or even a 'lower level' P5 team for H&H - if Watson could get them in here at LF, you would think TD can at PS...

That would be awesome, but aren’t our OOC schedules already set for the next several years? I doubt our administration allows us to buy our way out of them.

If it's the right team for an HandH I'm sure swaps and moves can be arranged. The right visiting team is worth the butts in seats to have to pay a smaller fee to move a game around.
