Battle 4 Atlantis

That could have been much worse. Neither of those teams are great, but they aren't complete garbage either. The schedule is shaping up nicely this year.

We will have a home game as part of the B4A? I'm confused.

I didnt see either of those 2 teams listed among the invitees down to the Bahamas. Am I missing something here?

The Battle 4 Atlantis invites 8 teams to compete in Nassau. As a part of the agreement they also supply one home game for each of those 8 teams. 4 other teams that do not travel to the Bahamas each play at two of the 8 island participants. Those 4 teams (ULM, Coastal Carolina, Robert Morris and Chattanooga) will participate in their own tournament (Atlantis on the Mainland) to be held this season in Chattanooga Thanksgiving weekend.

That's one of the most depressing tournaments I've ever heard of.

Must be playing those games at the Tennessee Aquarium.

It could've been worse. They could have had it in Monroe.

I STILL remember the Monmouth disaster in tha Nooga

So BOTH the Chattanooga and UL-Monroe/Coastal Carolina games are part of the B4A tournament? Am I understanding this correctly?

No.

The Chattanooga game is part of a straight up home and home with Chattanooga. We are simply fulfilling the return game of the contract. Has nothing to do with the B4A. That's just coincidence.

As part of the contract with the B4A we get one home game. Sources indicate it will be either ULM or CC.

Coastal Carolina has been a good team last few years, but didn't Cliff Ellis retire?
