What's is the price difference between the two schools for a game?
Might be able to pay less to the Virginia schools instead of Florida or Nevada schools. Speculation on my part.
Isn't the purpose of scheduling the group of 5 teams to get an easy win? Why would you want to schedule a good group of 5 team? If you are going to do that, then I think they should just schedule a bad Power 4 team.
We did play Auburn and West Virginia also. We can't help that they weren't that good when we played them.
I wouldn’t want any of the PSU revenue going to help Liberty. Just my opinion. I’d rather put Temple back on the schedule than do that.
When's the last time WVU was good though?
I'd rather play JMU than Nevada or Nova but it's really not that much of a step forward. If we win, we were still expected to. If we lose, it's a nightmare. Kind of like scheduling Pitt which is also pointless unless they stop requesting a return trip.
Both were better than JMU especially the first year we played WVU….they won 9 games.
Now let's break down those wins--who did they beat that suggests they were a good team. They weren't. They avoided playing everyone decent in the Big XII (talk about luck) and beat no one with a pulse. Can we stop pretending win-total means anything. Analyze it.
I doubt the AD will schedule a bad Power 4 school. No biggie, I won't be attending any of those upcoming OOC games. I'll either attend a PSU road game or an SEC game. This month we will be attending Ole Miss game vs Tulane. One of our grandaughters is a Freshman at Ole Miss.
Is it really? I believe it to be Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. The entirety of each state, not just the areas close to or surrounding D.C.
I would refuse PITT a home & home. They owe PSU home games.
I'd take 4 at Penn State for 1 at Pitt...maybe
Depending on who you talk to, it means both. Those who live closer to DC think that the D stands for them those who live further away and on the eastern shore of Maryland or Delaware think it’s for them. I would include JMU as part of the area either way. Even though 81 traffic is terrible. It’s not that far from Northern Virginia and they get most of their players from the area so while we might not be recruiting specifically against them, the visibility is there.
PSU owes Pitt nothing and they know it.
And can we stop putting down every team that has success simply by saying they didn’t play anyone? Good lord, if all these teams were as bad as some of you say, then almost every team in the nation should be 11–1.
Well I guess we can agree to disagree on the coverage area.
Again, look at their schedule that year and tell me who was the best team they beat...
Their QB play is terrible. Sluka doesn't pass, and they bring in Barnett III on 3rd down to attempt passes at which time in the 2nd half Louisville just let their DL rush the passer. Louisville stripped Barnett in the end zone and got a TD. When Sluka was in in 2nd half Louisville loaded the box and dared him to throw. Nada, zero, zilch. JMU's QB situation is shaky.
DMV is a made up term. It can mean whatever you want it to.
I prefer Department of Motor Vehicles.
You would be the only one to ‘prefer’ them haDMV is a made up term. It can mean whatever you want it to.
I prefer Department of Motor Vehicles.
When I wrote that I didn't think of it that way...
Agreed but many of the fans are in the DC MD VA Metro area.
JMU is the safety school for many many DMV high schoolers. Good school but U Virginia and VaTech are better.
