Fire Rahe part III

[SWWeatherCat]

I would rather see 18 wins with a quality schedule than 20+ wins vs garbage. If next years schedule is bad idk if I will make it thru the OOC

:+1:

Next years schedule does look better already. Let's be honest, What we are really interested in is reducing the number of crap/beat down games. My personal feelings are that one is acceptable, two is iffy, and three is simply not right. We will have to start getting home n homes with teams we didn't want to visit in the past. That is the simple truth to the matter.

It looks better but not great.. RPI of 166 this year def can be improved. I see no reason why UVU can get kentucky and duke back to back and we cannot get a higher caliber team. Randy used to say we will play anyone anywhere. We want the toughest schedule. Its time for him to put his money where his mouth is.

I'm guessing UVU was able to get UK and Duke due to Pope's connection with UK. It wouldn't take perennial top-20 teams on the schedule to get me excited but Rahe should have enough connections of his own to improve the overall schedule and consistently get some H-n-H with other mid-majors, possibly through conference partnering. Either other conferences have the same struggles or Rahe is shortchanging fans and players.

I think its a double edged sword. Rahe & Bovee say no one wants to come here to play with fear of losing to us. We need to get that RPI up so that if teams do gamble and lose to us at home it wont be labeled as a "bad loss" and farther push teams from wanting to play us. Just my :twocents:
