Around SBN: The Pros and Cons of an 18-game NFL Schedule

The Texas Longhorns will be in town. 2016 we'll travel to Texas.

I love this new scheduling at least one quality opponent each and every year. Way to go.

Navy also makes it's way onto the schedule in 2019 and 2020. 10 years from now that will be fun too.

Awesome

Mason would poop himself to see these kind of teams on the schedule.

I’ve already got a full car for the trip to Austin. Once people get out of work and find out that we’re going, I’m going to need a van, bus, or RV.

It sure will be interesting

to see where both teams are when we meet. When Ohio State scheduled Washington they had recently been to the Rose Bowl and won. Look at them when they met…

As they say down here

Lord willin’ and if the creek don’t rise, I will be there. This is fantastic news for the program and me personally. We will have to have a TDG meeting at one of the great bars close to campus.

I love it

I love them scheduling the big games. I just wish they would completely stop playing FCS teams also. When do you guys think they expand the Bank.

Id also like to see them start

playing a december or late november game to cut down on the time they have off between bowl season and the end of the regular season. Cutting the year 2 weeks short from everyone else kills the Big 10 in bowl games.

are their any pictures of what an expanded TCF Bank stadium would look like?
