Yeah, sucks that LA Tech bailed on us, but this one game will probably cover the Dane's athletic budget. We once wore the same shoe on the other footSIC EM 94 said:

Retreat Hell! We just got here! The 2/5

Having BYU scheduled in Provo the following week should help keep the schedule b@tching from other fanbases at a minimum. Hardly any P5 schools schedule more than one opponent with a pulse in non-con.
Although....our long tradition of scheduling cream puffs will probably have casual outsiders saying here they go again. Oh well....beat BYU on the road the following week and any talk about Albany will soon disappear.
It could be on ESPN 1,924 and the production value will still be better than our Texas State game last year.Jack Bauer said:
This game is gonna be on The Ocho!
You're right. It's either play Albany or all P5.Timbear said:
Let's play All P5 games, while the SEC rigs their schedules by playing 8 conference games, 3 cupcake non conf games with 1 other non conf P5 game. Would that make some folks happier?
Fair pointTimbear said:
Ok, Robert, I did post a bit of an exaggeration, but my point was that everyone criticizing Mack for scheduling Albany really doesn't know how hard it was to even get Baylor a 12th game.
historian said:
That's ridiculous & irrelevant. The Big 12 requires every team to schedule at least one P5.
6A high school would have people attending their games thoughJack Bauer said:
On par with a 6A Texas HS team.

The guarantee will cover the team's charter flight to Waco, Texas and hotel, with whatever is left over shared between the football program and the overall athletic department, according to Benson.
