We should make all the home games, plus troy and Vandy. I'd like to do UTSA or FIU on a road trip.

Well right now I'm on call for FAU, MTSU & USM unless they shift them to other weeks or weekdays or I trade weeks w/ someone

Totally different now but at least 2 off weeks instead of an off week the before we've even played a couple of games. Don't particularly care for the off week going into NWSt but just after LSU is a benefit to that & mid season off week as well but it might be too soon to say we'll have two offweeks as maybe a game will be moved to weeknight for TV.

Way too early to say a prediction since nobody has had spring game yet nor who signs that might see playing time. While we're capable of going bowling not sure if it'll happen this year yet.

That post made my brain shut down.

Shall I go Valley Girl speak instead? Tw*tterspeak?

I just thought it was a PM to Big Dee.

I thought he was ribbing me about my grammar usage & using too many &s in a sentence

He was.

UTC is Samford's homecoming opponent, so surely there will something UAB-related going on that weekend.

I'm planning on coming down for UTC-Samford. I think we typically do a bus trip for that game so I'll be selling that. I'm still a maybe on Vandy as we play at Georgia Southern that weekend and that should be a big bus trip for boosters/alumni. Our expectation going into this season at UTC is to make the FCS playoffs so beating GA Southern would go a long way in making that happen. I'm pretty pleased overall that I'll be at 5 home games. Looking forward to seeing everyone in the fall! I hope to make the spring game if possible.

Made arrangement today to attend the LSU game. That will be our big road trip.

Looks like Troy and Vandy on the road for me.

ECU and Marshall on back-to-back weekends. That means I'll only be going to one, most likely ECU, then spend the night on the Outer Banks.

Likely the same for me. I was planning on just Vandy, but that means I would have to wait until Week 4 to see a game in person.

if the Saints are home the weekend of the LSU game, it will be a nice road trip for me !

5 home games sucks. Those home games in November could have exceptionally bad attendance if the record is in the tank.

Correction 3 or 4 games for me, for whatever reason I was thinking we had 6 home games.

Hey!! You might turn out to be right if the 6th home game turns out to be the C-USA Championship Game.

In a perfect world (ha), yes, in addition to the home games, we'd like to do Troy, Vandy and, especially, UTSA. We have family in San Antonio. It'd be fun to take a few days and revisit the River Walk and catch up with kin folk after winning against UTSA!

I went to San Antonio last spring for a conference. We had a good time. The river walk was nice. We got out of riverwalk area and hit a couple of cool restaurants and bars. As a history buff the Alamo was cool, but a bit of a let down.

The home schedule sucks - big time.

The best game is the Southern Miss game, and they went 0-12 last season.

We need games we have a shot at winning. That means sucky teams.

MB, excellent point, as usual. You are keeping it real.

Actually it looks like I may be going to the FIU game instead. Come October, that one may be closer to home.
