No matter which way you slice it - he should not have allowed us to get into this position. We simply should not be playing two FCS teams. Daz gets paid a lot of money to get the team prepared for the season. He shouldn't need two more weeks of practice - which essentially is what we gave him here with Maine and Howard. I don't mind giving the team a little growing room with a manageable first game - but the opponent has to be FBS level. Playing the likes of Howard hurts the program - Bates wasn't prepared.Napolean Bonapartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400468172192375595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-43302154918784631222015-02-02T19:38:55.469-05:002015-02-02T19:38:55.469-05:00Getting a steady dose of Miami and Pitt would be g...Getting a steady dose of Miami and Pitt would be great!

The other way to do it is go to 9 league games and cut that wait down to every 3 years.Hoibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681823413809048599noreply@blogger.com
