Yes UMass, and the rest Jay. Still UMass has never been P5. P5 has a much bigger meaning because they've become wealthy beyond reason. I just don't remember those others in the Dome.

Just trying to answer your question, Jerry. You said Georgia. And, I think I said UMASS has never been P5 before you did.

Florida State came in the first year of Jessie Evans. When Tennessee came, we barely drew over 3000 on a mid week December night. Of course we were poor that season and that was part of the reason for the poor support. If someone like Tennessee came now, after 5 straight winning seasons, I think we would draw well.

Who cares if UMASS was P5 or not? They were number 1 in the country. I'd take a VCU, Wichita State, San Diego State etc over a Vanderbilt or Georgia anyway.

No doubt, I attended that game, and Memphis with Penny Hardaway. The argument has been we cannot get P5 here period. Also unlikely to get Big East, AAC, MWC, Atlantic 10. But specifically P5, and Big East because they're still a dominant basketball conference because of money and options they have.

So I had originally brought up only Georgia came to open the Dome. Jay quickly said many more and brought up another P5. Now it's clear I've forgotten all the P5, and other elite programs that visted. But all prior to almost a decade under Big Fish. Go ahead enjoy the forty point win over whoever he's renting a win from. Don't be too surprised when again he's not in the NCAA, and
Unlikely NIT.

It is just remarkable how afraid power programs are of Bob Marlin. As soon as he got here they immediately stopped scheduling games here.

I remember Texas Tech... left disgusted.
