Not going to bother quoting the whole mess in the previous post but to answer your question, Temple plays in the AAC, Toledo plays in the MAC.

 

[cooks002]

It's not ridiculous.

Major P5 programs don't travel to Toledo or Arkansas State.

But they do travel to Temple.

Scheduling is hard enough. This is good cupcake scheduling, as opposed to those other schools.

A G5 program that other top P5 programs visit. It's a good move.

You wasted your cute little pictures.

The only way that your assumption holds up is if P5 programs are traveling to Temple because they are far superior to the two teams mentioned. Is that the case? Evidence welcome.

What the **** are you attempting to argue?

No attempt. An assertion was made that other P5 schools schedule H/H series with Temple and not Toledo/Ark St. because they are a far superior team. I would just like some evidence to back up that statement.

You're an idiot.

The only assertion I made was that top P5 programs schedule home and home with them. I didn't state that they schedule home and home with them because they were a far superior team.

What I said was that from a scheduling standpoint, it is far superior to schedule a home and home with Temple than it is with Arkansas state or Toledo.

Your whole argument has really been stupid, I think it's time for you to take your L and move on.

Are you really this stupid? I hate to fill the board with OT but I feel the need to enlighten you:

You: Stop grasping for straws. Nobody is arguing about Arkansas State and Toledo, this is Temple we're talking about. (Implication Temple is superior program)
Me: Fred Sanford face
You: What's your point?
Me: Your implication that Temple is somehow a far superior opponent to the two teams mentioned I find ridiculous.
You: It's not ridiculous. Major P5 programs don't travel to Toledo or Arkansas State. But they do travel to Temple. (Assumption: Temple is far superior Evidence: Major P5 teams travel there)

I'm simply asking for something tangible to backup your statements regarding Power 5 teams scheduling Temple and not Toledo/Ark St. because they are superior.

Can you do that? If not take your L.....

You're too stupid to understand the concept that scheduling Temple as an H/H is far superior than scheduling Arkansas State or Toledo.

Someone else brought one of those teams up first, that's the only reason I use them as a contrasting example of the two teams or you'd have a legitimate argument as to why we shouldn't schedule an H/H with them. Let me know if my words are too big and I need to dumb this down for you, by the way.

With every post you make a bigger fool of yourself. You might want to stop now. I know I'm done with you.

For what it's worth I just finished school at Toledo and in my three years here Missouri played at UT and Iowa State did the next year. That was the year Missouri went to the SEC championship game against Bama (which they lost). But they went 11-3 and beat Minnesota in the Citrus bowl. Toledo beat Iowa St. at home in 2015, and also beat #16 ranked Arkansas on the road that year (I know home games against G5's aren't what we're talking about but I'm a proud alum and like to bring that game up whenever I get the chance).

Arky State has also gotten Louisville to come play in Jonesboro (2010) and Missouri (2015)

Temple has hosted Maryland (2012), Louisville (2013), and Notre Dame (2015). They will also host Maryland (2019) and Rutgers (2020)

Point being it really isn't that uncommon for P5 teams to travel away to these G5 teams. It's just never much of a national story because the away teams usually clean up and it turns out to be just another week. Honestly I think its pretty inconsequential that we're traveling to those places, and if anything it's beneficial due to the valuable road experience it allows the young guys to obtain. I think the LB's really benefited from going to Boone last year and playing in front of a hostile, red-neck fan base.

So no evidence combined with excuses and insults..... Yeah you done.

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

Temple has hosted Penn State a couple of times as well in the last few years. You make a valid point about Toledo and the others, but Temple more regularly schedules P5 teams from what I've seen

I wish, only because I am in Philly often.

Someone please tell me ...

That an actual football fan is surprised when a power five team schedules a cupcake. Because that never happens at Alabama or any of the big programs.

The other posters right, as a cupcake temple is a lot better than BCC

It's not about scheduling a cupcake. It's about the home-and-home aspect of it.

No reason to travel to a non-Power 5 school.

They're way more legit than Appalachian state or Arkansas state

And? Going to App State, Arkansas State and Toledo are also dumb moves that legit programs don't make.

PA produces ballas. Can't hurt to make a bigger imprint in that area.

[SevenNSeven]

Every time a home & home like this is announced, the same twats say the same things.


This board needs a sticky up at the top that reads: due to leasing a stadium, and the going rate for hosting FBS teams eclipsing $2 million dollars over the last decade, Miami (and any team that doesn't bring in $5 mill plus per home game) probably has no choice but to schedule home and homes with teams from non-power 5 conferences.

 

[SevenNSeven]

It makes no sense why blake James is scheduling home and home series with temple period....

12K posts, constant twitter and message board monitoring, and it seems you still don't know jack **** about UM football.

home games against app state, ark state, and Toledo would draw 20,000 fans in seats. Embarrassing to program. Need cupcakes for w's nd opportunity to play backups.

 

[Ispyin]

Also, tell it to Penn State, Notre Dame, Cincinnati, etc. with wall have had home games with Temple within the last couple of years.

Again, it's way better than Arkansas state or Tulsa.

Looks like you all are going to have to find something else to bītch about

Well, all those schools are Midwest schools that likely recruit Philly heavily. They probably used Temple as more a showcase to pull in recruits. What's the reasoning for Miami to travel to Philly, Arkansas State or Toledo?

We're talking about Temple, not about Toledo or Arkansas state.

We should not be scheduling Toledo or Arkansas State away, but there were reasons for it, hopefully those issues have been addressed. Temple is different than they are, this is a completely different issue. If Notre Dame and Penn State schedule away games with them, it's legit.

ND or Penn State playing at Temple has strategic recruiting advantages for them. It's basically another opportunity for their recruiting base to see them live. Miami wouldn't see those benefits because that's not a normal recruiting area for us. So what's the point of traveling to a group of 5 school?

Yeah you're right, we never recruit New Jersey or anything. I mean, Philadelphia is a whole river crossing away from New Jersey, it might as well be located in Africa.

 

[NJshoreCane]

Couple of reasons for scheduling a home/home with Temple.

1) As previously stated, Miami doesn't turn a large profit from home games against lower level teams because turnout is usually pretty poor. Instead of forking over $500K+ to some sacrificial lamb, they get Temple to come here for free. With more consistent attendance, they might be able to get away from this sort of scheduling but in reality, Miami's attendance has always been spotty, even during the best years.

2) There's a lot of high dollar Miami alumni in the northeast and the athletic department like to throw them a bone from time to time. Especially since they no longer play Temple, Rutgers, Syracuse or Boston College every year like they did in the Big East. Philly is a short trip from New York/New Jersey/ Connecticut.

Thank you.
This year I've got GT, VT and ND scheduled. Three round trip tickets x2.
A $30 in gas "quickie" would be welcome.

I stayed in Ventnor a few years ago. You all have some nice beaches.

Yes. love it.
It's where I live and work.
Not many outside the NY/Philly Metro area know about this area.
