Good call on the B1G 9 game conference schedule. Totally forgot about that.

Late season away games at Florida Central or Florida Southern would make for a nice road trip for most of you and an easy way for me to go to three games in a single year (Homecoming and at FAU or FIU would be the other two). :)

If the Monarchs played at Beaver Stadium, I would seriously wear a Penn State Shirt and an ODU hat/beanie. It would be cool to watch these two lions battle it out!

Just be sure to wear Blue and White!

not exactly future schedule material but I love to see YAHOO mention ODU several times in a season preview

I saw 3 mentions, not one of which was complimentary. Rather not be mentioned at all then this way, thank you.

Anybody heard or have any idea who our 4th non-conference game will be against in 2016? I am assuming it will be a home game against a FCS school preferably to open the season... Just curious.

I'm hoping for JMU, W&M or Campbell (for old times sake). But I've got no inside info.

Totally agree with this i would rather us not be mentioned in these kind of things. So we are a lame competition, use artificial turf and won lottery by not playing tough cross division. Screw the writer may be he should note that we lead the friggin NC State for atleast half of the game before he writes this kind of crap and we beat the western division leaders so we don't need a lottery to avoid those guys.

I counted 4:

#10
#29
#32
#36... Stated we host a P5 team.

Let's beat NC State

as long as they spell our name right

It'd be nice for them to get the abbreviation right on telecasts as well. Looks like FS1 might have gotten it right for the upcoming season, so we've go that going for us. Old Dom and OLDD just don't have the same ring to them.

How about "Old Dirty"?

Campbell is non-schollie so they would not count as a win for bowl eligibility.

Now see that actually has some ring to it. If we stay in the sunshine for the next 50 years, I could see that being sort of like what Ole Miss has going (Ole Miss aka University of Mississippi). Old Dom just sounds like the rum-swilling sailor that sits in the corner of the tavern. (Apologies to any old guys named Dom...)

Don't you know that Ole Miss is racist and refers to the term the slaves of the house used for the plantation owner's wife?
Ole Miss = Massa

Or a very experienced worker in the BDSM field.

Back to what the thread is about...

I wish Idaho would just step down to the Big Sky already. That way we don't accidentally book two FCS teams in 2019.

That's easy. We just keep Idaho on the schedule and if the Vandals pull an 11th hour switch to FCS we get on the Red Phone to Buies Creek.
