These games scheduled 10 yearrs down the line (or more) are killing me.
I know the schedule is full next year, we have one opening in 2016 (likely will play an FCS team), but we need some opponents for 2017 and 2018. Also the 2019 OOC has worked out to where we have three games on the road. I imagine that won't hold up.

Its hard to get excited about a series starting in 2023. Kentucky has room in their schedule for games in the next few years. I would love to see Kentucky come to Nippert next season even if it wasn't the opening game. Actually wouldn't mind opening with a conference game like Temple, UConn, or UCF.

Would rather see the Louisville basketball game come back on the schedule than the football game at this point.

Yeah... 2023-4... Kind of... what's the point?

Hard to get excited about a series 10 years down the road. I had a feeling the Louisville series was over.

As other people have said, it makes sense that Whit ditched the Stoneybrook home game at PBS for a road trip to the U. The conference should have stepped in and helped out, period. That decision along with UC and UCF not playing this year really makes the AAC leadership look clueless.

I am not arguing that the Miami game is not a better game than Stony Brook. I am concerned that UC hired a guy that pulls the plug on an already scheduled game without having a plan on the backside for scheduling. He put UC in a competitive disadvantage with our early games as well as leaving us with no open dates to help recuperate in mid-season.

Rookie move at best. He's gone and UC suffers.

Cincinnati and UCF were scheduled to play until Boise State went back to the MWC. I don't blame Whit or the American for the schedule. There were too many moving parts during that time frame. The schedule is only an issue if UC plays poorly.

I hope all the 8 year old future Bearcat football players appreciate the nice schedule we are putting together for them.

Yeah, seriously its hard to get excited now about these games in the 20's . I like everyone else would like to see the 2016-19 years fill in . We have to be the only school to have booked the year 2020 already and we are also getting a good jump on 2021-25 . But nonetheless.. heres to the future , wherever we may be .
