Why the hell are Pac 12 teams playing @ "UTSA" (they have football?), Nevaduh, and UMass this weekend?

You know your team is shit when you have to schedule a home/home with UTSA.

Access to Texas' fertile recruiting grounds and an easy win surprisingly competitive game.

And I just looked at Arizona's commit list... they have quite a few kids coming in from Louisiana. RichRod knows where the athletes are.

Schedule a home/home with Texas Tech, Texas, Baylor, LSU, Arkansas, Texas A&M. You're not impressing anybody, especially recruits, by playing a road game at UTSA.

RichRod isn't a fucking genius. Everyone knows the athletes are in SoCal, Texas, SEC country, and South Florida. A lot of other coaches also know that if you schedule a road game down there, at least schedule it to a team the has a name to it, because if you lose, it doesn't look so bad. If Arizona loses to UTSA tonight, recruiting just got a lot more difficult down there.

No shit, Sherlock.
