what the heck are you talking about.

ACC -1 - Uva, local and Nat Champs
A10 - 2 - GMu - ex caa and good game for NOVA alums
aac - 1 - ECU - future conference mate
Cusa -2 - ODU, local and ex CAA, Charlotte, again regional

Radford has good teams the last few year and local

so, maybe 3 games that are soft? what is your complaint, shenandoah? everyone has one of these

Coppin and Charleston Southern?

seriously, some will complain about anything


Wed/Nov. 6 7:30 p.m. Charlotte
Sun/Nov. 10 TBD at Virginia
Wed/Nov. 13 5 p.m. Shenandoah
Sat/Nov. 16 TBD at George Mason
Wed/Nov. 20 TBD at Old Dominion
Sat/Nov. 23 2 p.m. New Hampshire
Mon/Nov. 25 7 p.m. Coppin State
Sat/Nov. 30 TBD East Carolina
Wed/Dec. 4 TBD at Radford
Mon/Dec. 16 7 p.m. Charleston Southern
Fri/Dec. 20 TBD at Fordham

For starters, I rarely complain about anything around here. Second, let's take a look at the home schedule...

Charlotte (last year's RPI = 262, 8-21 record)
Shenandoah (OK, we play non-D1, I get it)
New Hampshire (last year's RPI = 345, 3-24 record)
Coppin State (last year's RPI = 342, 8-25 record)
EZU (last year's RPI = 258, 10-21 record)
Charleston Southern (last year's RPI = 197, 14-16 record)

I get it that we have contracts to face teams like EZU, but that doesn't make it any less of a yawner. I'll be there at the games. Hope to see you there. I was hoping by Year 4 of Rowe's tenure we'd be attracting better competition. If we don't go 6-0 in that stretch of home games before the CAA schedule starts, then it is a terrible sign of things to come. Hoping that won't be any worry. I know we are pointing to the opening of the new arena a year from now, but nothing about this home schedule is going to get more than 1,500 sets of hind parts into the Convo or get students fired up to go get excited about this team in Nov & Dec.

With all the Multi Team Events (MTE's) out there that can get us to 31 games, I'm a little surprised and disappointed we haven't found our way into one and are settling for 29 total games. Oh well.
