We are mainly because we ended up playing 4 sub par MEAC Teams other than that our schedule is decent not fabulous.
I think the schedule is just fine, along with the MEAC games. When you have a 25-0 home winning streak, you put in a few guarantee games. 7 home OOC games is a good thing. As a whole, there are several opportunities for quality wins. I would like to see some H-H with some ACC teams, but we all know the challenge with scheduling them (cough, chokies, hoos).
Sure i am fine with the schedule too except for the MEAC section and there's nothing we can do at this point except sit back and enjoy the ride. Hoos think they are too good for us and Chokies are afraid they might get whooped. I wish we had reeled in JMU instead of one of those 4 MEAC guys.

Probably Charlotte (three Battle 4 Atlantis games, Davidson, Georgetown in Charlotte).
ODU, Middle Tennessee (Auburn in Nashville, VCU, Belmont, @Murray State) and Western Kentucky (@Louisville, @Xavier, @Belmont,) would be the second tier. UAB, as well, if they get Iowa State in their tournament.
Friday November 13 - at Auburn
Thursday November 19 - at Troy
Saturday November 21-Tuesday November 24 - Emerald Coast Classic 1st & 2nd Rounds (Alabama State & Jacksonville State)
Friday November 27 Illinois @ Emerald Coast Classic in Niceville, FL
Saturday November 28 Iowa State OR Virginia Tech @ Emerald Coast Classic in Niceville, FL
Tuesday December 1 Georgia State
Saturday December 5 at Illinois State
Saturday December 19 at South Florida

Add Stephen F. Austin to UAB's OOC. Looking strong.

It would be really solid if it weren't for that. Even Charlotte has a couple garbage opponents Citadel, Furman, App State, and ECU.

You guys have some good teams that you will be playing in BOA and overall your schedule looks good except for those you mentioned. We have to see who we draw in HOF. I hope ODU kicks A10's arse this year too.
I hope MT performs well this year. A lot of potential there, they were scrappy and young last year and have a good schedule this year to prove themselves.

lol, I wonder if we have another "Plavich" type experience awaiting us?
For the non-Niners, Brendan Plavich still holds the record (I believe) for most 3-pointers in the Carrier Dome with 10. At the time, and I think it is still true, it was the only time a National Champion ever lost their very next game. 2003.
That dude was nuts. By his senior year, he was more deadly from three point range than the Ft line. I have never seen such a good shooter be so piss poor at the line.

One of the things that made Plav so special was his strength. He could literally shoot from near mid-court with the same (normal shooting form) form he shot from 10-15 feet. He could also get sooo hot from 3 it was unreal (add that to his almost unlimited range----ask Indiana about it). Super stout guy.
