West Virginia would be very cool, but I would love to see us keep trying to play Ohio. Both us and them are good programs who play competitive games!

I would love to see rmu play a 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 with Temple. Coach Toole knows Fran Dunphy well (he played for him at Penn) and it would be a great opportunity for RMU to play in Philadelphia, where they recruit heavily, and also get 1 game back in Moon where they would have the opportunity to play one of the better Big East programs at home. That would be huge for the program, and would attract a lot of attention.

Multiple updates made, including the date for the Campbell game.

Added the Oakland game and a few future return games.

Final piece in with the Buffalo game. Waiting on final dates.

Game at Delaware may be of interest to us East Staters and our pipeline into Philly. It's Sat. 11/30/13 over Thanksgiving Break. The tip-off is TBA. I'm assuming there's television concerns or the high probability that Delaware will be in the FCS play-offs. DU's stadium holds in excess of 20,000 so crowd control would be an issue.
In any event I hope Coach Toole continues to schedule games in the Philly area. I hope to be attending that game and the road contest at Mt. St. Mary's in January.

I would imagine Robert Morris would love to have annual games in the greater Philadelphia area. It's obviously a crucial recruiting area for Robert Morris, considering their very active Philly pipeline. But I don't know how wild Andy is about playing at Penn on a regular basis. Drexel, St. Joe's, Temple are certainly elusive targets. Villanova...not sure how willing Jay Wright is to bring RMU in on a buy game.

So I'm sure RMU will try every year, but it may be more Delaware or Rider type games than securing games right in Philly.
