Ramius Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Boise turned down an invite to play down here in Tallahassee at FSU. Typical chicken **** attitude of that school and why i'm getting tired of them in the title discussion every year. They want to get treated like big boys, but then stubbonly refuse to play anyone of any consequence. And no, moving to the Big Least doesn't count as "competition." That conference is no better than the Mountain West. So, unfortunately, with WVU backing out of this upcoming year's game against FSU (one i was really looking forward to), we're stuck playing Savannah St, meanign we're starting the season with 2 straight 1-AA schools. it's not for lack of trying. Along with Boise, FSU was turned down by Cincy, Pitt, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Syracuse, and Arkansas among others.

My guess, and it is only a guess.. is Boise said home and home...and FSU said no dice, you play us here this year, and then play us here again next year. Prolly why the rest of those schools said no as well...none need the payday like the 1-AA's..they make more staying at home just like FSU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSU wouldn't be able to do a home-and-home due to already agreed upon future games with other teams, and the ACC is going to a 9 game conference schedule in 2013, which means we're losing an OOC date. The WVU game was already slated for Tallahassee, so FSU was working on keeping the new game down here. I called out Boise St. because they want to wear the big boy pants and be taken seriously, yet they still want to play with the little kids.

Cynical Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Boise turned down an invite to play down here in Tallahassee at FSU. Typical chicken **** attitude of that school and why i'm getting tired of them in the title discussion every year. They want to get treated like big boys, but then stubbonly refuse to play anyone of any consequence. And no, moving to the Big Least doesn't count as "competition." That conference is no better than the Mountain West. It will be interesting to watch Boise St the next couple of years. Peterson did a nice job with the kids that he had, but the last 2 years, the he was dealing with a veteran heavy team. Last year, they had 22 seniors, 18 of them were 5th year guys. The Broncos are going to have a down year next year, but if they bounce back the following year, Peterson's coaching stock will skyrocket. So, unfortunately, with WVU backing out of this upcoming year's game against FSU (one i was really looking forward to), we're stuck playing Savannah St, meanign we're starting the season with 2 straight 1-AA schools. it's not for lack of trying.

What you see may not be what you think it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Been saying it for awhile now. Takes 2 to tango with regards to scheduling. What you see may not be what you think it is. Still up in the air whether Cuse and Pitt might be let out of the Big East 27-month commitment early like WV. Plus, that the incoming schools might also join earlier. It makes scheduling anything damned difficult, if not impossible right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i heard, the current most likely scenario has Pitt and 'Cuse playing ACC football in 2013. I don't know about basketball yet, but they may join for the '12-13 season.

UConn James Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Is this going to fill in some dates? Texas A&M and Missouri have agreed to pay $12.4 million each to leave the Big 12 and join the Southeastern Conference in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
