Attendance is tickets sold, not people through turnstiles.
Whatever floats your boat. My post was not ambiguous.

I know we get ND every few years, but it would be nice if our non-conference schedule were a little more beefed up. Those OOC Stanford and Nebraska games were pretty sweet.
Playing a I-AA doormat, a couple of Group of 5 lowlifes and a service academy here and there provides little excitement.
And my last request, get rid of the season opening Thursday night games. The empty seats look embarrassing on TV.

We should not expect to sell many tickets when we play Big South teams. Nobody cares, and rightly so, regardless of the weather conditions.

That's what the plan should be. Smart scheduling to build a program. Especially when you play in the hardest division in the country.
Why play a top heavy team when we already play: Notre Dame, FSU, Clemson, and Louisville? That would make no sense.
I would much rather play and beat Utah State to make a bowl game, get exposure, get extra practices, and get an extra game, than play USC with the same schedule we have this year and lose 45-0.
It's not just "saying we went to a bowl game", there are very tangible benefits to making a bowl game that helps build a program. To say otherwise would be foolish.
We've got to play probably 3 top 10/15 teams in our division, plus Notre Dame, plus @ Ga. Tech and we'll be walking into the hornet's nest at App. I think our schedule is plenty hard this year. I think playing one FCS team, 2 non-BCS FBS teams, and one BCS team for our out of conference schedule is right for us and that's typically what we've done.
What both of you are admitting without specifically saying....if you want to be honest about it....is that you realize that WF cannot compete in this conference. You can deny that all you wish, but if you feel that 2-6 or 3-5 is the best we can do in the conference and, therefore, must load the non-conference schedule with creampuffs to get to a 6-6 record, that is what you are saying.
I agree with you. And you can forget the clap-trap nonsense about this situation being only temporary while we "build a program". I've heard that talk for the last 60 years. Nobody is ever going to build an ACC-caliber football program at Wake Forest as long as we are trying to compete in this conference. If you think it can be done you are just living in a denial of reality. What Jim Grobe did in 2006-08 was a once-in-a-lifetime miracle. It had never happened in the 50 years of ACC history before then and it will never happen again in the next 50 years of ACC history.
This seems like a new thought for you. Tell me more.
