It's Oregon.

Oregon ? Wouldn't that be something. "Clash of the Green Titans" and not a B-movie at the Keith-Albee.

I guess Mallards are green - sort of.

I'm guessing ACC....Maybe a school Mike knows from his days as ECU's AD.....Just a guess, though...

[Stripeshrt]

I'll take a wild guess and say it COULD be Boise. Remember back when the wanted to b " The Next Marshall" Maybe Maybe Maybe.  As for the sellout, Forget it, this is the same bunch that bitched when the VT ticket was $35...and that wasnt a sellout either. Boise or any other of the names mentioned will command $35 and above

VT was $50, and I complained, but still bought 4.

[Stripeshrt]

am glad u did, I seem to recall people bitching about paying $35, if I am wrong and ur right , so be it. The point is it wasnt a sellout.

[Johnnyherd]

Ok, the more I think about it....I think I have it....

We just played Akron....and Doc and Terry Bowden, Chuck Amato reunited....Well we all know the Bobby Bowden's connections to our area....But, Terry Bowden coached at Salem and guess who his QB was?  Jimbo Fisher....

So I figure Mike Hamrick spoke to Terry about scheduling and not getting quality opponents and Terry called Jimbo Fisher...and they've worked out a deal.....

So that's my guess...We're getting a 1 and 1 from Florida State...

[firstate]

well, for him to make a statement like that ..it's better than nc state...otherwise I would have guessed Virginia

I'm gonna assume no pac 10 because of travel.

I also was thinking about , Miss State, or Ole Miss....

so i'm guessing................... Arkansas.

[MarshallGrad]

Hamrick said "they will all say how did they do that"?

Nobody would say that about Boise, NC, Virginia, Vandy, and many other. We had VaTech and Kansas State and nobody was left saying, "how did they do that"?

A "how did they do that" would have to be pretty big.

[wasbarryb]

Given the attention the statement is getting, Hamrick is going to look like a clown if it isn't a really big name.

There's been a couple of times he's made these "just wait till you see it" statements that the announcement was somewhat anticlimactic.

[QuickStrike]

if I had to pick a home & home.....give me one with Kentucky.

[BHFIOHIO]

was the VT visit part of a 1 for 1?

[Johnnyherd]

We should have scheduled a long term deal with Virginia Tech, honestly...

In 2013, Va Tech gave ODU an 8 game deal that consists of 4 in Blacksburg and 4 at ODU...

Wow. Nice going ODU. VT and Herd wasn't previously 1-1. Maybe they've had a change of heart.

Norfolk is VT's prime recruiting area.

[IM4DHERD]

Tidewater area is VT's top recruiting base.  LOTS of kids will get to play in front of their friend and families.  Only reason for a 4-4, there.  We don't offer the same.

No matter who it is, I think Hamrick has done a great job in many ways. Listening and engaging with the fan base is one of the things I really like about him.

Agree 100% Fly

Quickstrike is in need of a dog .

Good one thunder LOL

Well if Tech misses out on the Beverly Hills or Ona kids, they better not come crying for a game.

[IH8WVU]

I bet it's Morehead State.

[ThunderValley]

can you believe it...Que'ers going to play 1-1 with Herd       ;D ;D

[HerdnClt]

They don't want any part of the Herd now. Wait for downturns.

[The Right Stuff]

The rumor I have heard is either Wake or Indiana.  Again just a rumor.

TRS
MU 71

Sounds like it could be bigger. Don't think anyone would say," how did he do it with either of those teams. Whipping them would be expected.

[parshall2marshall]

Didn't Pruett say there was once a deal in the works with Free Shoes U ?

The deal never came out about it was said because Bowden insisted on Always Crooked conference refs at the Joan. Heck, even with those they lost in a driving rainstorm at UL.

I figure that league still "owes" us. For all the times we have been cheated at their venues dating back to 1991 ... tossing us a team already out the door of their Conference to a big payday isn't enough comp.

Talk has me thinking...Although not a home and home, didn't we back out of a game vs. LSU or Auburn some years back.  Talk was that because they had to schedule some 1-AA team on short notice, they missed the BCS championship game by a hair due to SOS?
