Several sources after the Nevada pull out indicated we could schedule up. I am not saying a really good BCS team and I am not sure I want that anyway. Mid to lower BCS or Nevada non-BCS equivalent was out there according to several people.

Of course if things keep going the way they are I might have to save my $$ for something else, but don't want to jinx that and scare the crap out of myself simultaneously by thinking about possibility too much...
the brother that is really loaded said he would take them. He has 6 others, but my two are better than his.

How is it that FSU doesn't have it's schedule locked down for next year at this point? I just don't believe that.
Like I said, I'm not going to hang Bronco for the replacement for the Nevada game, because it's a legitimate problem to replace a team that late. My ire is directed at a long term philosophy but I think it's uncertain yet how that will affect us. The Army and USU contracts were the last two that were done.

The only thing I will criticize Bronco for is publicly saying he wanted to dummy down. Why not keep quiet and just say this was the best we could do, unless of course it wasn't. However, everybody spins so he could have too and said they couldn't find anyone.

It would destroy Bronco if it was proven he was a liar, even over something trivial like this.

All it would take is some AD saying "we offered but they said no" and suddenly Bronco isn't a prophet anymore. he is the new Elder Stapely.

Valid point. I think though what he is saying negates the fact for those who are saying no way can we get better than a 1AA to slide in for Nevada.
