Way too early prediction that’s sure to be wrong:

4-8.

I hope you are wrong too. I'm not that much more optimistic - I am thinking that getting to 6-7 wins with a largely new team, brand new, inexperienced coaching staff, and a very hard schedule would be a great job in year one. Anything above that would be huge.

BlazerTalk tailgate in the parking lot of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium! Only season ticket holders actually get to park at the stadium and all those parking spots have room for tailgating. After I get my parking lot assignment, I'll post recommendations on where to park. There are several large privately run parking areas around the perimeter of the stadium grounds.

I am doing to try to hit Tulane and UNT, maybe Navy and UGA.

I’ve been making 3 road games/year. Navy for sure. I’ve already been to UTSA and Tulane, so probably Georgia Southern and North Texas. I’d rather see us play Georgia when they’re not the #1 team in the country & we know we’ll be competitive in the AAC, so maybe the next go around.

I always enjoy the UNT trip. Just a nice area and family close by.

Yeah I am iffy on GA. I am so torn on whether we should be playing those elite teams. On the other hand, we recruit Georgia HARD for all sports and also for just regular students and that exposure of playing the Bulldogs is invaluable, even if we lose. No real shame in getting smoked when they are smoking SEC teams and playoff teams. But going over there and being competitive would be HUGE.

I always believed we should have Georgia Tech or Georgia State on the schedule every year in basketball and football. Recruit that Atlanta/NW Georgia area.

We have tried numerous timess to get GT on the schedule. They want no part of us.

...wondering if Fresno will be a future opponent...

With a focus to schedule more P5 games in the future and getting some of them HH I kind of doubt it.

I expect us to start trying to get some H&H with p5s for sure, at least one per year,
. I think we will keep the FCS, keep Troy/USA on rotation and another game against a regional team like Ga State/WKU/Southern Miss and then start trading some money games for H/H with a p5. Although sometimes we will still keep a money game in lieu of a H/H
