Gate'80 is 100% right and Gate Raider is wrong and doesn't know Colgate's history as primarily as a road team. Just ask Coach Dunlap. 3-4 home games is Ok. Play closer to the metro centers where alumni live. In today's world students hang in the dorms or fraternities so let's get on the bus and play where the alumni live.

In fact, moving to a schedule of 7-8 road games could give Gate a scheduling niche in recruits eyes. When you don't have to schedule "home and home." you can access better quality opponents. Playing in the Northeastern metro areas adds exposure, i.e. schedule a Penn, w.o. having to get a home game. Alums like Gate Raider willing to schlepp to Hammytown every weekend are a veerey small minority of the potential alumni crowd that will attend games in the metro areas. I'm calling Vicki today!
