[QUOTE="Wexahu, post: 2968133, member: 72863"] My issue with the game is that it sucks for the fan. It's one thing to schedule some overmatched teams in basketball. The games are a couple hours long, people are in and out pretty quickly, and there are about 18-20 home games in a season. In football you've got 6, maybe 7. Wasting one of those on a game that isn't remotely compelling is just too big of a waste. They are like NFL preseason games, a complete waste of everyone's time. And I'll never believe our guys will get more out of playing a bunch of overmatched Duquense kids than they would just playing a controlled scrimmage against each other, so the "we need this game to get ready for the season" is just dumb IMO. The coaches want an automatic win, that's what it's about, period. And when they are paid millions of dollars to coach a college football team, they shouldn't get one. These games should never be played, by any P5 school. [/QUOTE]
