So far we have

Aug 30 vs Troy
Sept 6 at Miss State
Sept 13 vs Alabama A&M

Will we do another road payday or get another home game?

What do you think? Anybody hearing anything?

I think its likely we get another road game, at least a part of a home and home or another buy game, mainly because we already have 6 home games and we have never, ever had 7 home games at UAB and usually need the money the road games provide.

We are playing at Arkansas on October 25 according to their website. I don't see it listed on uabsports.com.

we cant beat state, troy or arky.

Schedule
Alabama a&M
Alabama State
Jax state
North Alabama

it works for the power 5 schools.

Next year is full with Arky http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2013/...n_m_3.html

Only 1 OOC game scheduled after next year, though. http://www.fbschedules.com/ncaa/conf-usa...lazers.php That TBA Moo State game that FBSChedules has listed is probably the one they bought their way out of.

Doing a quick search and found out that we are playing at Arkansas on October 25th according to these sites

http://www.fbschedules.com/ncaa-14/sec/2...hedule.php

I don't remember see this before.

Edit: I was searching while others were replying.

I see according to our site that. Maybe Mackin was in a waiting to see if we turn the corner with the new coach (McGoo) and can move to having more home games than having to do the buy games, to allow for a few more wins. At this point he probably realizes we now can't do that in 2015, may hope for 2016.

Maybe he was waiting to see if we could turn the corner with the new fan (BhamCrap).

From that article, it sounds as if Mackin would like to schedule some former CUSA opponents. I would like to see a home and home with Tulane or Memphis.

I think we're going to play Kentucky at some point. 2016 I believe.

We're at Tennessee in 2015.

Let's go ahead and play them anyway, just in case.

Was the Ark was a replacement for Ol Miss or Navy? Or was Navy supposed to be in 15 or 16?

UNA is D2 so you cant schedule them. I wouldnt mind seeing South Alabama added to the schedule soon.

I didn't list USA because I dont think we can beat them.

Not to mention they're full up for the next 3-4 yrs unless someone backs out on them also they're getting HnH w/ their H first when we can't vs same teams???

Will be making the Miss State trip for sure

I'm going to reply to several BhamSnap posts in one if that's okay.

1. You can only schedule one FCS game to count towards your win total for bowl eligibility.

2. We can beat Troy, Mississippi State, and Arkansas, especially by next year. We could probably take Arkansas right now. They are awful. They had a hard time pulling away from Southern Miss.

3. We aren't substantially worse than South Alabama. That would be a great home-and-home, but a lot of people don't think South Alabama would bring as many fans to Birmingham as Troy does. I would also like to buy Samford at some point, but the consensus on their draw to Legion Field is the same. I think they are worth at least more ticket sales locally than Northwestern State and Southeast Louisiana.
