We had two Thursday games last season and it really blows. I have young kids and it makes it really hard to make a weekday game. Was really glad we only got pegged for one home Thursday this year.

Really looking forward to hosting you guys in Statesboro this year. Should be a great game.

Georgia_Power_Company have heard anything about a series starting in 2017?

Quote:CHAMPIONSHIP REMATCH — UMass is expected to announce shortly that it will play a home-and-home series with Georgia Southern, according to an athletic department source. The years have yet to be announced, but both teams have available dates in 2017 and 2018.

UMass beat the Eagles in the 1998 Division I-AA championship. (It)Lost to GSU in the second round of the 1999 I-AA Playoffs.

Schedules

Just saw where my Colonels will be playing at Ball St in 2016. Makes for two FBS games in the state of IN for 2016 for EKU as we open at Purdue.

Buzz has been it will be at UMASS in 2017 & home in 2018 but nothing official (or semi-official) so far. Should be a good series as we have some history!

I am pretty confident in most cases this extra "exposure" has very little to do with decision making when it comes to signing with a MAC school. At-least that is the opinion in our family when it came to choosing whic school to attend. All came down to staff even though that probably should not of been the deciding factor when making a decision this important.

The final home game of the season will be played against Miami (Ohio) at McGuirk Stadium (Nov. 21). That brings the campus-portion of the schedule to include the Florida International game on Oct. 3 and the Homecoming contest against Kent State (Oct. 17).

The only other kickoff time currently released is for the game at Notre Dame on Sept. 26 which will be nationally televised on NBC. That contest is set for a 3:30 PM start.

What an incredible home-and-home series. Fans for both programs should be terrified. And delighted.

Puts us at odds relative to this blog post: Next Boise State?
