2025 Schedule

[AppOrange]

Personally, if the landscape is going to change this much, so should our approach to scheduling. I loved going to those masssive stadiums and scarring the crap, or beating big teams with our developed culture, expectations and overall player developoment approach that made us who we are. Those days are mostly gone now, what we need is wins. Screw playing the P4, pile on G5 wins and hope for the best. With the player turnover every year, confidence and jelling is the name of the game, and that happens with lots of reps on both sides of the ball and in games. We wont be bringing redshirt seniors, playing as a unit, to these money games anymore, so the heck with it. Jell in some early, fairly easy games and run the belt.

Think the coming season's schedule is about right for us. Would not go below this level. A P4 game isn't a bad thing for the budget and you must play games that create interest for the program and the fans especially if the P4 is close by. Maybe with the stipulation that we receive a home game in return.
DG knows what he is doing and will make every effort to roll out a schedule that will work for us.
Question: Would you rather play ECU or Wake Forest?

Wake Forest.... my ex-wife went there.... I say that but we must win that game.

I will take the Power level conference opponent almost all the time. If we are playing away, we get paid in addition to winning

I would play East Carolina. One because it is a G5 and would still generate tons of interest. The extra money we get for playing WF (contractaully) is not worth the likely loss, i'd rather have a really good chance at a W. Plus, WF is lucky AF and always finds a way to beat us, regardless of sport.

To me, its all about the W's. The 2 teams in the P4 with the LEAST amout of P4 games were Notre Dame and Syracuse. It obviously didnt hurt ND, and even more telling is Syracuse. Those guys beat some bad teams, lost to Stanford at home (yuk) and still landed in the top 25 at the end of the year by playing a weak ACC schedule. Guys, get the dub's, that is all that matters right now. With that said, I am excited about EC and Char, next year. Boise is coming at a bad time . . . I like the scheduling of them a ton, and normally give us a great shot, but the discrepency is pretty wide right now, unless they continue to get the crap poached out of them. Should be interesting. Also, we are selling our mid week games against crap teams, the interest is there regardless of opponenet. We are all die hards on here, but the reality of it is, ASU football has trancended to an event that everyone wants to take part in, which is incrediable, but also explains the lack of money raised by such a rabid fan base that sells out everything. Give me a local FCS at the beginnig of the year, a few meh OOC G5's, then our conference. Win them all and we will be in the discussion every year for OUR ultimate goals . . Conf championship/playoff berth. That schedule still gets sell outs in Boone and a greater chance at exposure that superseeds the extra 500K for playing at a P4.

Upper level G5 programs should err on the side of playing G5 programs. Make the bottom P4s schedule each other vs giving them an opportunity to beat a G5.

Let them eat themselves.
