That's a very good schedule, a national schedule. who knows about Texas but u take it...maybe connections?

night and day difference with the men. Also I notice Coach Roussell is quoted in there multiple times. Our men's press release had nothing. Probably because they were embarassed, but it's still not the right thing to ever do. don't shrink from the responsibility, u have to speak for your program.

and Roussell specifically talks about setting high goals for the schedule. mindset. They may have ended up with an extra power conf game exceeding goals as result. I mentioned this with Mooney & the men's approach. If you're only going for a couple power conf games u can easily fall below it.

Amazing schedule. Probably one of the best mid-major nonconference schedules in the country. Well done coaches!

Roussell showing the receipts to Hardt-Mooney and the naysayers who say we can't do any better. Well done.
