AJC: GT to play Louisville... sometime/schedule notes

It will not count towards bowl eligibility, but I believe it will count towards stats, and towards the record shown on ESPN.com, for instance.

My interpretation as well. Game would count for everything except bowl eligibility...Only problem with me is that the D1AA games usually start earlier in the day - I need my tailgating time

I am buying season tickets either way. A D-1AA game just means my oldest daughter gets to go with me.

In an article from Tulsa detailing their dropping a game with Texas Tech and picking up a game with Arkansas on November 1, the paper listed these schools as needing an '08 opponent - GT, Kentucky, LSU, Va Tech, Tulane, and Illinois. While I really like playing Tulane, would anyone want to tackle an LSU or Illinois?

A home and home or 2 for 1 with Tulane would not be too bad - New Orleans being a good away trip for fans.

It's not just needing a game, it's needing one that fits into the schedule. Plus signing a 2 for 1 or 1-1 also means we have to have a spot on upcoming schedules. I think we're pretty locked in except for this year...that's the problem. We just need one game.

I definitely want a D1AA opponent. Just get someone that will bring fans.

Our 2008 schedule is plenty tough already. Let's get an easy few wins and positive momentum heading into a rough ACC schedule.

Bring Fans? Why dont we start filling up our own stadium, regardless if its 1-AA opponent.
