I really hope we add a recurring series with WKU.

Quality opponent, lots of history between the schools, easy road trip, fun & tough environment to play at.

They check all the boxes.

All for WKU and Middle as well.

That would certainly be a bold strategy as we look to do renovations. Just cancel a third of our season ticket value.

If we aren’t going to schedule decent home games that don’t leave Bartow 85% empty. Save the game day expenses and go play some body beneficial on the road and get a pay check. Pretty easy to see the direction I was going in. But, yeah, let’s schedule old conference foes that we were trying to get away from. If it ain’t UTEP or WKU, there’s simply no reason to play anybody we no longer have conference affiliation with. That’s if UTEP suddenly turns it around.

I say that as a season ticket holder. There’s plenty of others that would pay the same price for season tickets with less home games if they saw we were truly trying to beef up the schedule for tests prior to conference play and SOS purposes.

All it’s about now is padding win records, which don’t mean a thing when it comes to selection Sunday. Might look good for AK or MI’s next job interview.

4 road games in 3 seasons.
South Carolina(trash), WVU, Saint Louis, ETSU(boo boo)

MTSU and La Tech are ok to play sometimes.

I would like to see some intersectional home/homes with similar non-bcs programs. Boise State, Utah State, Harvard, (any MVC, most A 10) if we need to play a true road game in a tough environment schedule a 2:1 (two home games for us) with some solid schools who routinely make the NCAA tournament from one bid conferences: (Vermont, Winthrop, etc.)

We added another Juggernaut in Mcneese state, to the schedule.

Will Wade will likely be serving a suspension for this game.

any rumors at the least?

Lair you're in luck....H&H with Drake starting with 1st game here then to des moines in 2024

Will be nice to catch up with Nick Norton.

Better. Probably should be the floor in what we are willing to schedule.

I expect to see you and Grammar Nazi there. I’ll be there as long as it doesn’t interfere with football.

Arkansas State home and home as well.

Not better, but I can see why one would assume Hodgson would turn them around immediately.

So far, Drake is the only one that fits what I’m looking for.

I can understand why those schools might interest you. A short drive for ya to see your Blazers.

I kind of wish we would schedule Georgia State again just because their gym was so different and it was such an easy trip. I’ve given up on us ever playing Georgia Tech.

They don't play there anymore. They play in their new Convocation center with open glass facing downtown. Seats 8,000 and is really really nice. I do think this should be a HH game. Their new building is as nice as any we will play in this season.
