2015 Schedule

[UAalum72]

Are we missing a weekend in there somewhere..or are we not playing 12 games again in 2015? The schedule above has 12 Saturdays..one of them being a bye only gets us to 11 games.

FCS teams may only play eleven games unless there's an extra weekend between Labor Day and Thanksgving. Last year Labor Day was almost a week earlier, and the season has to end before Thanksgiving for the playoffs. The next 12-game season for FCS is 2019.

We all have our own limited number of categories, it's why I never tried out for Jeopardy.

Little known fact about me: I was on the College Bowl travel team at UA. Even got a stipend for it.

 

Now excuse me as I descend back to nerddom.

Some more limited than others

Have we figured out who the 4 OOC games? Buffalo, Holy Cross, and?

[UAalum72]

Should be only 3 OOC (see post #16), but no, nothing out there yet

Does Duquesne owe us a home game? We opened at Duquesne in 2013. That game should be returned at some point.

[Ruler]

Not Duquesne. They would not bring anything to the table for a home game. One of the IVY's Colgate, anyone but an NEC team. No offense to the NEC but if you want attendance Duquesne, Wagner, ST> Francis etc. will not do it. Its an easy W next year but not an attention grabber.

Saw on Twitter ball state game is this upcoming season. Duquesne does owe us that home game next year as well.

So we're playing two FBS teams this season?

[UA'08]

If the tweet was right then yes.

Ball St. has taken Middle Tennessee off their 2015 schedule, so Oct. 3 is open for them, but Holy Cross already announced we're playing in Worcester on that date.

 

Going from never having played and FBS before, to playing two over five weeks is quite a jump. At least, by Sagarin ratings, we're only six to ten-point underdogs to both of them. Both games seem a little early for homecomings.

 

If HC has been moved to the future, is playing both Buffalo and Ball St. an early tryout for the MAC (which might really confuse local sportswriters)? The MAC has thirteen teams, are they looking to expand?
