Does The Grate One Host The Mother of All Tailgates?

These are the pay days we need to take. A winnable game, easy environment to play in, not a bad road trip for the fans. Good job AD Guthrie.

After this year, our future non-conference schedules actually look quite reasonable. 

 

2025: Wyoming, @ Nebraska, @ UAB, and Duquesne

2026 (not quite as easy but still acceptable): @ Wake Forest, Robert Morris, @ Minnesota, UNLV

2027: @ Rutgers, @ UNLV, Maine

I'll be in the orange lot along the tree line in the shade. Bring your own Mountain Fried Chicken and Foothills Brewery.

I agree. They are reasonable until they aren't.

This game has the ACC CW game of the week written all over it.

This will be an interesting time for Wake Forest. I don't anticipate them being any better than last year this coming year. Two losing seasons doesn't get Clawson fired. A third might. I don't think Clawson or Wake functions at the necessary level of sleaze to compete well in the current state of college football. I could see Wake having a losing season in 2025 and relieving Clawson. It would be an early season game for a new coaching staff.

I wouldn't necessarily call any OOC schedule 'easy'. At least not until we show that we can consistently beat other mid teams.

The TWO home OOC games in both 25 and 26 makes them equally attractive to me. This should be the Zips template for FB scheduling.

It's the type of sanity we don't often see in the MAC.

I'm hoping that they can have most or all of this complete by time the Zips come to town. It's really a large and ambitious project. The area around the various areas was very run down.

I found out a few years back that the sophisticated folks of the ACC don't drink like Midwesterners.  I'll be prepared for the judgmental stares this time.  GO ZIPS
