[Island of misfit toys]

I don't see what's odd. It's an either/or, not a both/and situation. If they come on gameday, Dantonio and the staff are too busy to get their arms around them. At a different time, all the charm comes pouring out. They can get inside the heads of the kids and their parents and make them feel wanted and try to make them want the program. I don't believe they can have two official visits, it's either game day or another.
