We'd probably have to win 1-2 of the games against the heavyweights for it to have that type of impact. Of all my years of following this team, this is definitely the most ambitious schedule without a doubt. That Kentucky game is icing on the cake!

: While a loss is a loss, playing Duke, Texas,
: and Kentucky on TV helps in a couple ways.
: One is that, when recruiting, we can tell
: recruits we are planning to play against the
: top teams in the country, where they can
: showcase their talents on a National scale.
: The second is, of course the possibility
: that we win a game or two. While unlikely,
: we have a talented squad who showed last
: season they can play well in tough venues.
: Further, the media generally likes Monson
: and the exposure on National TV means more
: recruits get a chance to find out about us.
: As noted above it helps pay the bills too.
: And lastly, if we win the BW and dance in
: March the kids are less likely to be
: overawed because they are playing a tough
: team in a bright spotlight.
