In fairness to Strollo, his hands are tied when the calendar calls for an eleven game schedule. As long as we play the blood game, we need to buy two home games to have a total of six. That means buying two games from the likes of the NEC and the Pioneer, the only teams that are of such low stature that they won't require a return game.
However, in those calendar years that allow twelve games, such as this year and next, we should have tried harder to produce an attractive schedule. One blood game on the road, one non or partial scholarship opponent at home, and four leagues games each at home and on the road. The final two games, one at home and the other on the road, should have been with full scholarship FCS foes. A two year contract with each school fulfilled in 2013 and 2014. Not the quality of Montana, however. The MVFC is too strong, but two worthy opponents. That would have still left us with six home games each year, and our fans would not be mocking the ooc home games.
We drew flies against Dayton, and it will be much worse against Morehead and Duquesne. Maybe for the next cycle Strollo will get it. He sometimes does get things....eventually.
