     I understand your point but as Mr. Thompson pointed out NU's schedule has usually included a lower level team or two.  That has been going on for a long time.  If we were going to get that reputation we should have had it a long time ago.  Probably if one were to compare Maine with Houston on paper Houston would be the better team.  But, one isn't going to enhance their reputation of playing strong teams by playing Houston either.  Houston is Division I-A but they are not a very good team.
