what's sad is that there are more people at the games when we play these teams than there are when we play the top teams in our conference. I guess the big factor that determines how many people come to the games is the weather. if it's warm they will come if it's cols they will not. sad.

Slippery Rock, Lock Haven, Alabama A&M the list goes on. We played these teams and folks complained about cupcake schedule. Started playing FBS schools dumped the D2 and still folks complain about a cupcake schedule.

Make up a list of acceptable FCS schools that will play us and not want a return game and send it to the AD. Do not forget the "money" that wants 6 home games.

Despite the comments, they all play "some" cupcakes. Especially the Eastern schools. Playing the Big 10 and the MVFC schedule is plenty of competition. Plus the home games are needed for the  big shots so they can show off to folks.

And, yes, I enjoy  watching football while warm !

Heres the problem -- go sell the program to younger, healthier folks who don't mind freezinbg their butts off at a football game. Works at the H.S. level. Your fan base is older don't you know.

Or isn't Ytown  really that big a football town ?
