So how great is next year going to be!?! What are the possibilities and your predictions?

That gives us VT, ECU, UVA, Liberty, and potentially Marshall/JMU/ App/ Coastal in our first year of Sun Belt.

You can drop the potentially from that statement. Gonna be a fun but tough slate of games. March 1 we will know exactly who we’re playing.

Ya. Good stuff.

Plus the two Ga schools.

We play every D1, FBS school in Virginia next season.

Cannot state it will be correct in the end but I (like apparently some others on here) have heard rumors for weeks we would be playing a SB schedule this Fall. Now it is clear those rumors were true so I would guess we have had the SB schedule worked out and ready to go. In any case I am happy for the change and looking forward to playing in the Sun Belt.

Va Tech
ECU
UVa
Liberty
JMU
Marshall
App State
Coastal
Ga Southern
Ga State
Two SBC West Schools (1 Away 1 Home)

Big improvement...

Here's a thought: What if Liberty drops us from their schedule, as retaliation for leaving CUSA early, and help CUSA fill their schedule.

Season ticket demand just went up substantially.

Who cares? I don't think any of us give a hoot about them anyway. If they pull that crap on us and USM we can may be schedule each other and be done.

We notified the league in December. Liberty knew and still signed a new contract to play us. The hypothetical is already proven wrong.

BIG year in FB coming up. Time to show the rest of VA what this new era of ODU FB is capable of.

Season Tickets are going to be HOT!!!!!

A) We added another home and home with them so I doubt they’d do anything that rash
B) Why would they even care? They were never going to be in CUSA the same season as us no matter what? Maybe some of the remaining five might boycott us but that’d be more of a principle thing because I don’t know how often any of those schools would show up on any of our schedules

Yessir.

Brutally tough, but exciting schedule. We should a better team, but we will need to be a whole lot better to go bowling again. I’m seeing 3-4 wins. Hope for more.

I hope one of our west division games is So Miss just for the fun of it.

I'd rather have the money from the cancellation and take on the challenge of winning 6 of 11 games.
