    A H&H with Miami would be cool. Get to see CMR and let some of our South Florida guys play in front of some friend and family. Maybe even a Wisconsin H&H. Obviously I would support anything better than beating up on Nichols and MTSU. I know you need those games to help your team rest, but man there was something about playing that ND game last year that just made me anticipate college football that much more.

    Miami would be cool. I would love to see CMR back in Sanford. You know he would get a standing ovation. They way things went down, the fans never got a chance to publicly show him their appreciation.

    Annnnnnd Bama just set a neutral site with USC in Dallas for 2020. These games are major recruiting tools when players know they'll get a chance to play in these big time match ups. McGarrity needs to CATCH UP! Bama has made a lot of headlines with these games lately.

    The big neutral site games are good for publicity, but they don’t address the issues raised by season ticket holders about our weak non-conference games on the home schedule. A couple of home-and-home series against strong opponents would be nice to see. It was great to see how well our fans traveled last season, got a lot of attention nationally.

    Think about it... it's a win win situation for bama, they play these hard ooc games and if they win it helps there case to make playoff even if they lose sec championship. If they lose and win sec championship. They still get in playoff

    Agree that playing that caliber opponent is great, but given that we already play a neutral site game every year, it would be better for our home schedule if we played them in a home-and-home series. Would be nice if we could work it out so that in a year we had a strong home schedule of SEC opponents we could play in the kick-off game in Dallas, maybe have a rematch against Oklahoma.

    Play the neutral site game in Atlanta. FSU would be a fantastic neutral site game in Atlanta.

    Thought about Atlanta, but I figured we'd be playing there in the SEC championship game. Playing in Dallas would give fans a chance to go see Jerry World (if they can afford it).

    Hey, don't forget our H&H vs Notre Dame. Nothing to sneeze at.

    Would love to see us play Miami in a home-and-home series. Would be good homecoming for our south Florida kids and good exposure for recruiting, plus the whole CMR connection.
