I love it when Taggart talks about taking us to the next level. He does it all the time. This is the same guy who led USF to its first ever year end top 25 ranking

Its not just about winning games its also about building fan support and getting students at the tailgates into the stadium. When you can sell out FAU stadium on a regular basis and getting 20k+ fans to games in a so-so year thats taking it to the next level to me.

Are we replacing any of these cancelled games? Working on it? Been quiet on this topic unless I missed it.  

I thought the ACC said teams had to schedule IN STATE teams for OOC but FSU just scheduled FCS Jacksonville St. which in in ALABAMA!!!

FSU just does not want to lose to FAU with the coach they dismissed.

I saw that and chuckled.  But to be honest, if I were fsu , no way in heck would play FAU. Only something bad can happen.

I misunderstood the ACC criteria for OOC games, too.  It is weird, but it says they can play whoever they want as long as it is at home.  If they go on the road for an OOC game, that has to be witihin the state.  FSU was supposed to play Samford, which is also in Alabama.  But the Southern Conference (where Samford belongs) has postponed football to the Spring.

"I’ve checked with some dates with FAU, but that was two, three weeks ago. I wouldn’t say that it’s story-worthy. There is definitely an appetite for [FAMU Football] in the fall, but we are a long way away from that point. There’s a lot of work that must be done before we get there.”"

FAMU has expressed interest.
I dont know if anything happened with that.

On the press release that Conference USA sent out they list the Charlotte game as being 6pm on "ESPN Networks" so there is still some hope it will air on something like ESPNU instead of ESPN+.  There are a lot less games for them to choose from with 4 conferences sitting out so we might do better than ESPN+.
