Poll Results: The schedule sucks

◊ This is pretty self-explanatory, and totally expected. This week's poll, asking readers if they approved of the 2009 football schedule, was a landslide. The fans hate it. I have to agree. Granted, Syracuse was scheduled the year after they went 10-2, in 2001, but still having Eastern Illinois, an FCS team, is in excusable. Sure, they'll tell us that it's just part of the game today, and that it's tough to schedule better teams. Bullshit! If it's so hard, then why do other teams have dynamite schedules seemingly every year? Even when Michigan* scheduled Appalachian State, the Mountaineers were going for their third-straight national championship.

Oh well, at least next year we get Alabama on the schedule.



*I just noticed over at MSC, that UM just inked a date with Delaware State (FCS). No, not Delaware, the team that's pretty competitive. Delaware State. This is a very disturbing trend.
