I know I'm in the minority on this, but I liked playing the DII or DIII schools and wish we did at least one of these. It was fun to see these other teams have their moment to shine against the big boys. We had some tough games too. I know the value of competing in these scrimmages against DI talent, but the pressure of a winning a game you are suppose to win has value too. It was better when we played high major schools. These mid majors don't excite me.

Yes, it's better to scrimmage higher level teams if that's going to be the routine.

I will take two scrimmage days with NCAA bound team in advance of the OSU opener and Maui any day. MU will be really special right off the bat.
