Ugly schedule...

Two sub-Div I teams and an FBS. They've got to take care of business in OVC play if they want to discuss the playoffs, though that's probably out of the equation anyway, eh?

Has Tennessee State announced their sked yet? They normally only play 7 OVC games (a major source of contention in the league) so they can keep 4 classics games.

It just dawned on me...if TSU only plays seven per year...does that mean that they rotate someone off every year (not to play) in the OVC?

...thus obviously sticking a 2nd OVC school without a full sked too.

Some OVC fan fill us in.

That is correct. This year it is SEMO AND JxSU. Most years this is a non-issue because we are not in the conference race. This year we will be predicted to finish in the top three. Our coach is on record in favor of playing full conference schedule. With that being said, you would not believe the excitement within my fellow alumni that we will be playing Southern. It's a sticky situation that our AD has managed but the heat will crank up this year.

I hadn't heard of Concordia before, very interesting schedule. Six Thursday night games. I just hope we don't wear those yellow uniforms on national television again, if we get on this year.

Gotta agree. OVC + payday + two sub DI = xsmhx

I know Cumberland is NAIA but what division is Concordia (AL)? Are they a brand new program or something?

The Auburn game caused UTC to have to scramble at the last minute to pick up an 11th game. TTU asked out of our scheduled game to accomodate Auburn. UTC ended up scheduling Carson-Newman, a D II :( game. A lose - lose situation for the Mocs.

is this the same Cumberland that GaTech scored 200+ points on?

NAIA as well. I'd never heard of 'em.

Yes indeedy. Their campus is about 45 miles away from our own.
