They forgot to list James Madison as (Exh.)
How much are we paying them for this bodybag game?

These are the little things that just disappoint me about ODU Athletics.
They announce their 2016-2017 Basketball Schedule.
Then when you go to their website you can't download the schedule to your calendar because?????
Because they still have the 2015-2016 schedule up.
How do you make an announcement of your schedule and not have your website reflect the new schedule that you just announced was ready?
It's a little thing but it so amateur - it just a carries over to other things and to even more important things.
Pick up the ball and go ODU. If we want to be respected more - we have to handle ourselves better.

Damn! I thought I made this post. Sure I have in the past made similar ones. This is what happens when you claim to be "big time" but don't have sufficient staff to follow through. It not that our staff is not competent, it just that there are not enough to do the job right.

That is funny. I got like half way through the post and scrolled up to see who wrote it, fully expecting that it was you.

I believe you are right. I work for a city agency that does not have anywhere near the resources it needs to do a thorough job. It can be very frustrating when you work your a$$ off and things still fall thru the cracks. I say give them some slack. All in all, we get a very nice product and I'm sure fans from most every other school in this country has similar gripes.

Maybe they listened to you, the 2016-2017 schedule is on odusports.com???

Also, the VCU game is Saturday, December 10th. Is that during winter break? That could pose a threat for student turnout...

Better than thanksgiving weekend, at least for me. I'm always out of town and can never make that game.

December 10th is the weekend before finals week.

Awesome, so the students will still be on campus. I hope as the years go on, our new and incoming students still see VCU as a rival. I would love to see a full student section going crazy that game (as I do every game, but VCU for obvious reasons)

They probably won't see them as the rival most of us do, but even out of state students know VCU as a big basketball program who are always in the tourney and usually ranked in the top 25.

Fair enough. Either way, I think I'll start looking for hotels in the area for that weekend... I miss me some good ODU/VCU basketball action!

Definitely. Hunting over Thanksgiving, but besides that...

Who want to smell VSewageU after eating a big Thanksgiving meal?

Solid schedule. Good enough to build a NCAA resume if we win what we should and step up and win a few where we are underdogs.

So this means 2017-18 OOC schedule consist of (so far):

1. RICHMOND
2. TOWSON
3. @ VCU
4. @ W&M
5. @ James Madison
6. 2017 Charleston Classic (at least 3 games against Auburn, Dayton, Maryland, Temple, Clemson, Hofstra, or Indiana State)
7. TBD
8. TBD
9. TBD
10. TBD

There is a home and home series with Hampton that is out there lurking (which was part of the agreement that went with this weekend's football game with Hampton).

Definitely a solid schedule.

Feces U!!!
Feces U!!!
Feces U!!!

I can almost smell/hear it now.

Even the color yellow is right!
