Nevada playing texas state?

How does a start up program get a quality team like Nevada to come all the way down here?

Come on, man. Don't you know that we have to sell our soul for money games just to get by? We could never schedule a game like this. Nevada would never agree.

But, then again, maybe its a 2 for 1 or a 3 for 1 and they are just playing the first game at Texas St.

Ya, right.

No way are we in the bottom 10. I just don't see how we are in the 70s.

We were ranked # 78 in the CBS Sports 2011 Start-of-Season and finished # 90 in thier 2011 End of season rankings. So, bring ranked in to 70s seems to be right on pace with our program...

Nevada?

The team which has been to 6 bowls games in the last 7 years. And the team which beat Boise in 2010 cancelling their hope of going to the national title game!

A very quality team for Tx State to get at HOME in their very first year

Not questioning the quality, but this board is no stranger to perception and could spit out an endless thread discussing the merits of Nevada vs. Indiana/Houston.

oh i'm not saying that Houston isn't good, they are probably better.

However, who do we have this year?? Texas southern. Now thats quality...

Why can't we constantly schedule at least one quality team?

My apologies, I thought this was a "first year" comparison.

I don't think this is the schedule everyone is writing home about; but it's my Mean Green and I'd be there every game if I could. I'm actually very happy to see Troy and ASU in Denton for our last conference hoorah.

It was def a cool, fun ride through three straight Denton games of KState, Houston and Indiana.

BTW, FIU is #75.

Yeah I am going to chalk that up to the traditional bias Orlando has against Miami, a very serious case of jealousy on their part. They will end up ranking UCF much higher than they should be. 75 seemed a bit low coming off of two winning seasons and having brought in a few solid recruiting classes, ten spots higher would have made more sense in my opinion.
