However, they are playing Catholic AGAIN twice in the next four years if I'm not mistaken, including one on the road. |

San Diego is an expensive trip but there are benefits to showing the flag on the West Coast.

Ugh. It's the equivalent of patting Georgetown on the head and getting an "attaboy" for actually filling out a schedule. The only reason Georgetown is going to San Diego is to get an 11th game and that USD pays guarantee fees to get opponents to travel; that, and no one else is open on the last week of the season.
Put another way, if this was Holy Cross, would this be an acceptable schedule?

Makes no sense to go to Landover, too big. Not worth using the baseball stadium for one game, there'd have to be several there. |

Put another way, if this was Holy Cross, would this be an acceptable schedule? Since you asked, no. It's not a bad schedule but there aren't really any marquee games outside of maybe Harvard. I think the bettah OOC PL schedules basically follow the template of: 2-3 Ivies 1, maybe 2 CAA 1 FBS 1 NEC/MEAC/Pioneer. |

Put another way, if this was Holy Cross, would this be an acceptable schedule? Nope. This would have the look of a Dan Allen/Peter Vaas era schedule back when the likes of Fairfield, St. Mary's (CA) and Marist were a sampling of our OOC opponents. I think we played Duqesne too during that time and got thumped. Under Gilmore, the likes of Delaware, UMASS, Northeastern, Brown and UNH began to fill those spots. |

KY's post was a reference to how Catholic has a more legit college football stadium than Georgetown. If there was a ranking of all FCS Stadiums, you think Georgetown would finish in the bottom 3? To up the stakes, if we put Div II in the mix, you think Georgetown would still be in the bottom 5? Obviously, I haven't conducted tons of research regarding FCS/Div II stadiums, but can honestly say that Georgetown was the worst experience in the 45 games I played at HC. Be interesting to get other takes from people that have seen a variety of stadiums. |

Actually, if you wrote "the Allen era and the beginning of the Gilmore era" you'd have been more accurate. Peter's schedule was pretty good, Army twice, Umass twice, Hofstra (made the playoffs the year HC played them), BU (same thing). Of course, the way schedules work in football, very likely that the games were arranged a couple years ahead of time and each coach inherited the schedule of the other. Also, changes were made during those eras because of the PL picking up (and then dropping) Towson and, of course, Georgetown. |

I didn't start following HC football until 2005 so most of my knowledge from the years prior is via anecdote of guys who graduated 07 and 08 as well as looking at media guides. I believe football scheduling is the responsibility of the AD not the head coach. Obviously Im a huge Gilmore guy, but not specifically trying to give him credit for the change in scheduling v predecessors. Of course I do give him credit for the change in on-field results. |
