From an Arkansas State poster on the Sun Belt board.

"Bryan Harsin was on radio today and let it slip that we (A-State) were in the process of finalizing home and home football contract with Miami (The Florida Kind)

Nothing official yet, but it appears this is very close to getting signed."




Imagine the Hurricanes in Boone. Looking forward to the not so distant future and the App home slate.

Ill take anybody but the canes in Boone. There are so many south floridians in the high country it may end up being an away game.

They're New Yorkers, really. So we best stay away from Syracuse too, just to be safe.

Just curious but why is this thread titles Arkansas State scheduling yet we're talking about App playing the U in a home and home

Care to elaborate?

It's a quotation lifted from the A-State forum. You missed the " " marks!

Arkansas State is the team scheduling Miami. The poster was just trying to imagine App being able to do so.

The U wouldn't bring a terrible number of fans, but the ones that they would bring will be the absolute sketchiest that you have ever seen.

Their schtik is to wave full sized towels that they have draped over themselves at all times. Lot's of jewelry and knockoff jerseys.

Don't forget switch blades and ambiguous racial blends.

The Red Wolves could be bringing in some big names for home games in the near future. Sources say that Arkansas State could be on the verge of ironing out a deal that would see them host the Miami Hurricanes. Although the Canes have fallen from grace in recent seasons, their name still commands a lot of recognition. For smaller conferences like the Sun Belt, getting big name programs to visit its members can be tricky. BCS conference programs do not like to travel at all if they can avoid it and they certainly do not want to give a team from an upstart conference a leg up. Bringing in a recognizable opponent like Miami is a great way to add legitimacy to a program and draw a large crowd for the game.

In addition to the potential deal with Miami, Arkansas State will play at Missouri this year in exchange for a home game in 2015. These deals show that the Red Wolves are making all the right moves to make sure that their rise to prominence continues.
