A look into next year

[Cane_Mutiny]

FAMU and BCC have big local alumni bases? And The University of Miami wants to support them?

If you go into any AD's office, you'll see a target objectives poster hanging on a wall. Certainly, those objectives will include:

1. Support other universities
2. Schedule teams with awesome bands

C'mon man, don't be dense... Given that playing one FCS team a year benefits us (extra home game revenue & early season warm-up for the team), then it makes total sense that you would schedule an in-state team with a local alumni base and a good band over some random team from Charleston or Staten Island... Of course UM's objective isn't primarily to support other schools, but when it makes sense for UM anyway, of course they should prefer to cooperate with FAMU and Bethune.

IIRC Wagner was a late replacement for a home-and-home Rutgers canceled. Weak sister, no doubt, but Top 10 P5 teams are not available with a season's notice.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't the PLAYERS at Wagner.

the Mighty Seahawks .... lol

And that schedule is not weak.

Mich St is B1G school that always runs the ball & plays good Defense regardless of their record & that's an early road game for us, that game is not a guaranteed W.

UAB is very well coached team under Bill Clark, they're not a pushover G5 school, I can tell most of yall don't watch them enough & just think of them as if they're South Alabama or something... Nope, not even close, sleep on them at your own risk.

@ GTech, @ UVA, @ Va Tech & @ Wake Forest are all tough games, especially at Wake. Plus UNC is no gimme even at Hard Rock, that's a game that will be tough because of Mack Brown & Sam Howell who's already beaten us.

If we finish 8-4 this season the expectations for next season will be higher, let's see if this team & this coaching staff could live up to that. If Diaz wants to keep the heat off his back he better hit the ground running next year, cant keep moving the goalposts every time you fail. This is a Wins & Losses business, it's best to get good at winning & not making excuses.

Facts!!! Well stated!

Wagner UAB Temple and Michigan State not quite the SEC west. If that makes you nervous well than idk what to tell you.

Why the **** are we playing UAB, Temple and Wagner in the same year?

 

[Sebastianbird]

what kind of total assbrain scheduled Wagner ?

I’d prefer not playing FCS teams period. But I’m still a little relieved that the annual FAMU/Bethune Cookman rotation is finally ending.

agree with you .... its ridiculous.

We can all agree that Blake James is ridiculous.
