We should focus on getting this program back into contention for Nattys, not scheduling more of these "destination games".

What good are these games if we continue to lose them?

I would bet the coaching staff isn't that excited about them - hard to keep the team focused, takes time away from their usual schedule, game really means nothing in the big picture. It's for the fans and as long as the fans support it they will keep doing it. It builds financial support from alumni. Personally, I am 0-2 in the games I've gone to and while Austin is appealing, I'm going to pass this time. I've been to Austin and it will be a great venue for the fans.

It would be even better for the program if we would start winning these games.

Sure. It would also be nice if they won all their games.
They won the first 3 they played (4 if you count the outdoor game in Omaha) and have lost the last 2. While disappointing, I don't know anyone who still didn't have a great time on the trip it it was ruined by a loss.

3-2 (or 4-2) is a far cry from "start winning these games".

Well you would lose that bet because the coaching staff loves them. The players love them and the staff loves it for the players. Awesome college experience and lifetime memories.
