Huge!!!!

 

To quote a local Albany car salesman.

If we're doing one FBS team a year my preferences would be:

 

1) Army - local school with huge history and my brother is a West Point grad

2) Central Michigan, MSU or Western Michigan would be a close drive for me.

3) Syracuse - a great local school

4) BC - another fairly local school

5) Georgia Tech

just never play Tennessee...I could never stomach that. I literally would have problems

Rutgers

At the rate Rutgers is going the game would have to be held at Rahway.

Any guesses on a FBS opponent in '17?

[GreatDanes06]

I mean from a logistics and wanting to get alumni, fans out etc...I would think you would try and first get games vs...

 

UConn, UMass, Syracuse, Rutgers, Army, Boston College, Temple and maybe Penn State...

 

I would think Army could be the easiest get for UA, as they have no problem facing FCS schools (play 1 or 2 a year).

 

Buffalo was a good play for UAlbany, as it is in NY and a SUNY school.

 

If they are willing to go to Pitt, would love to see them jump and play an Ohio team (not Ohio St...I can't take them losing to that tool Urban Meyer)

Live in Pittsburgh and the wife is a Pitt grad so this is fantastic for me! Especially since the move to the CAA ended the annual tilts with RMU/DUQ

[Dane96]

Great move because of the amount of recruiting we do down in that area.

You have to think that the University at Maryland has to be getting thrown around as a possibility.

I'd like Army also but there's got to be a long list of schools that want to play them.

I'd like Army also but there's got to be a long list of schools that want to play them.

And a long list of alumni that want them to stop losing to FCS teams.

Playing Army at West Point would be amazing ... .
