I've always liked Fresno St as a team. I'd be happy to do a home and home with them. One of the things recruits like is to know you are going to play a game in their home state which allows relatives to come watch. This may help California recruiting in a small way. We're also playing Oregon St. which will also help with west coast recruiting. I know Wolitarsky was a California kid, but I don't recall many more on the roster. Lots of competition for talent by the numerous local teams, but would love to pluck a kid or two per year.
Fresno is in the Mountain West conference now, which is a big step up from the old WAC. Much better than playing Div 1AA schools. I like it.

Do we know what years the home and home will be?
If recruiting was a major factor in our scheduling we would schedule someone from the SEC or Big 12. Scheduling Fresno is all about finding someone you can beat.
Folks remember ...
Folks remember we will be playing 9 Big10 games. 3 from the East. Our schedule will not be easy, so need some games in non- conference that we should win.
We are adding Rutgers next year and subtracting TCU, schedule strength is taking a MASSIVE hit.
Not sure what next year's schedule has to do with this thread?

Go Gophers!!
Minnesota had been scheduled to visit Miami-Ohio on 9/7/19 -- that road game does not appear on future schedules at the moment. Miami still listed as visiting TCF in 2018 and 2020.
I hope we travel well out to Fresno. Is 7,500 possible?
Boy, that 2018 home schedule is pretty puke worthy
