This is good for the team, coaches, program, university, and fans.

Two ooc games?

No games vs suspect competition.
Upgrade from past seasons.

What about the scheduling alliance? Did that die out? If not then that should add a home and away game to the schedule.

Not much new has been heard regarding "the alliance" since last fall. Only that it includes Conference USA; the Horizon League and the Sun Belt. East Tennessee State joined the group last September, but it is not know if they were added individually or the Southern Conference joined as a whole. No word on whether any other conferences have joined in the meantime. The teams will be paired up by Mark Adams based upon NCAA tourney metrics???

For this season, everyone is supposedly guaranteed one home and one road game from others in this grouping. According to ETSU these "Challenge Games" will be played on November 26 and November 30. The plan is to transition this alliance into exempt MTEs (Mult Team Events) beginning in 2020-21 which will exempt them from the 28 game per season limit.

Alabama a and m november 11 home game

Auburn put out their non conference schedule today and we are on it. Auburn is listed as the away team so I am thinking we will play them at the BJCC again.

??/?? Illinois State

6 more non-conference games
14 more Conference Games

Based on the above and on some rumblings I have heard, when all said and done this year's schedule will be a significant upgrade.

Yea. It will be significantly better but I’m sure people will complain anyway

That would put us out of the challenge this year, since we now have games scheduled against Lamar on the 26th and The Squid's Sex Lube Kittys on the 29th.

UC Davis? Ehsan.

I will probably go to the ODU game.

We are not playing Illinois State

12-17 UNA comes to Bartow
