2008 schedules?

[nwFL Griz]

Hey all, I am in search of some 2008 schedules. I know alot of schools are still tentative, or incomplete, but I would still like to see them.

Feel free to post them or pm me with them if you prefer.

Thanks for the help!

[PaladinFan]

I think Furman is playing Deleware (not sure yet of home or away) as well as the Southern conference and one of the big schools named either USC or Virginia Tech.

That could be all wrong, except the SoCon part. Oh and we'll play Samford.

Glad to see the Apps and the Dukes going at it again. I don't understand why this can't be a game that we schedule every year. Great regional game for two outstanding programs. Seems to be a no brainer to me. xthumbsupx

[G.S.Green]

Can Hampton get a few OOC games on a home and home basis?

JMU at ASU September 6, 2008

[mcveyrl]

JMU at ASU September 6, 2008

I thought we were at home.

[rmutv]

The only definite ones for RMU are a home game against Morehead State and what appears to likely be a road game to Bucknell.

RMU travels to VMI in 2009.

[UNHWildCats]

I thought we were at home.


I dont hold the accuracy of location at this point.

McNeese has 3 open dates for 2008, Our preference is 3 home games.

It's a 12 game season, We have 3 Conference games at home,

We go to SDSU, and an unnamed BCS money game.

We have 4 SLC games on the road.

[appstate38]

I thought we were at home.

Doesn't matter to me where the game is played, because it will be a good one none the less.

BTW. Does anybody know when North Dakota becomes championship eligible????

[brownbear]

Aren't they championship eligible next year? I believe they become full members of DI next year which would make them championship eligible.

North Dakota or North Dakota State?

[Punchykky]

Norfolk State will be playing @ the University of Kentucky and William and Mary in 2008. And we will have our usual rivalry game with D2 Virginia State University next year as well.

[OL FU]

C'mon T, hook the guy up... don't you have these posted on your website?


Furman never post until the SoCon overall schedule is released. I don't know if it is a Furman thing or a Socon thing. But I would assume that we will play 8 SoCon teams including Samford, we have Delaware at home, Colgate and Va Tech away.

[Go...gate]

I think Furman is playing Deleware (not sure yet of home or away) as well as the Southern conference and one of the big schools named either USC or Virginia Tech.

I think you play us in Hamilton.

[Go...gate]

G.S.Green

After last Saturday's success, sounds like you and Princeton will dance some more in the future. That was a really good game and you have a wonderful fan base and band.

[UNHWildCats]

I think you play us in Hamilton.
Furman at Colgate September 13, 2008

[th0m]

I dont hold the accuracy of location at this point.

Yes we are definitely at home, since we played at The Rock last year. Also for the conference games, we switch with the CAA North again giving us games with Maine, UMass and Hofstra. Seeing as how we have two CAA North road games this year, we'll have two of 'm at home this year.

Ya i checked all the CAA opponents this year and last for all 12 teams and altered to opponents accordingly.

[UNHWildCats]

I have JMU's complete schedule. Just dont know the dates for the conference games or the bye.

[footballer23]

NDSU doesn't have anything scheduled for next year other than a couple of conference games (including the marker battle against SDSU)... but we have a date in Ames, Iowa with Iowa State on Sat. Sept. 5th, 2009.

Arent you playing Georgia southern next year? And Sam Houston?

[umassfan]

UMass plays @Texas Tech, @Holy Cross, Albany(from their ooc schedule) and have one open ooc game left to schedule. That is on top of playing @Richmond, Delaware, @JMU, @UNH, Maine, @NU, Hofstra, and URI.

[FargoBison]

Arent you playing Georgia southern next year? And Sam Houston?

Georgia Southern is likely going to end up being played in a later year do to scheduling conflicts. SHSU is set to happen in 2009 I believe.

[bisonguy]

Arent you playing Georgia southern next year? And Sam Houston?

Sam Houston in 2009, and Georgia Southern is up in the air. With the SoCon adding Samford, Georgia Southern is scheduled to play Samford the same day that the NDSU game was scheduled. NDSU's AD is trying to get a Gateway conference game rescheduled so the NDSU/GSU can still happen next year.

Wofford's is listed even later than yours. I don't know what the deal is.

[UNHWildCats]

Good question really not sure at this point.

[UNHWildCats]

Wofford's is listed even later than yours. I don't know what the deal is.

At this time last year I believe UNH had already had this years schedule announced. I have heard the Albany rumors and I assume that game will be in Durham... With the game at Army and heading to Dartmouth next year our AD is prolly looking for the 12th game someone to come to Durham.

I would think teams there looking at are Stony Brook, Central Connecticut State I doubt any of the mid to top level teams in the FCS will come to Durham and Im not sure UNH wants to add another road game.

[UNHWildCats]

Good question really not sure at this point.

As you can see in my post after yours, I wouldnt be surprised if UNH might try getting you guys up to Durham again next year.

[SuperJon]

Home: North Greenville, Stony Brook, Elon, Gardner-Webb, Chuck South

Away: Western Carolina, Youngstown St, Presbyterian, Coastal, VMI

I know the North Greenville is Week 1 and Elon is the last week of the season.

We're looking for one more home game and one more away game. We're playing 12 next year.

If we do visit you guys in 2008 hopefully it will be better game that 2006. We should be at 57 scholarship players next year- which should help.

Liberty series has been pushed back to 2009 at the request of JMU.

As an aside, all of the Ivies with the exception of Cornell (and to a degree Penn) were either founded by protestant churches/ministers or were/are chartered as religious institutions.

Harvard - Puritan, although never officially tied to one denomination
Princeton - Presbyterian
Yale - Congregationalist
Brown - Baptist
Columbia - Church of England (Episcopal/Anglican)
Penn - Founded by ministers and Benjamin Franklin
Dartmouth - Congregationalist

It is interesting how the schools have become more secular as the centuries passed and are now much more inclusive to folks of all faiths.

My alma mater was founded as a religious school (Presbyterian)...

[proasu89]

I thought we were at home.

:D You were until we Grizzled you.

[JaxSinfonian]

Jax State has the 8-game OVC schedule (minus Samford ... good riddance), plus Georgia Tech, Alabama State at home and Chattanooga on the road. Haven't heard anything about a 12th. We could use another FBS to make up for the dough we lost backing out of this year's Mississippi State game.

Is this a 12-game season because of the calendar, or did FCS finally vote to approve a permanent 12th game? I haven't heard.

***leaves us with three games to schedule; four if we play a 12-game schedule

I have heard that we're trying to schedule a OOC game against a SoCon team (don't know who though).

[RabidRabbit]

Cal Poly in 2008 (what I know of):

Home: UC Davis, Southern Utah

Away: South Dakota State, San Diego State

Site to be determined: University of North Dakota, University of South Dakota

So is Poly going to play both USD & UND? I thought Poly & Davis were each playing one of the UxD's so as to NOT have two non-counter games?

BTW, I'm thumping happy about keeping Poly on SDSU's schedule in 2008 & 2009.

[JALMOND]

Portland State's "money" games for the next three years (I believe we open the year with these as well)...

2008---at Washington State
2009---at Oregon State
2010---at Arizona State (still tentative)

Also I believe we have Montana at home next year, at least I hope so. Also, I heard we are trying to get the Davis game to be a permanent home and home year after year. A carryover from the days of DII. It might not happen next year, but I guess there are people trying to make it go.

From what I hear, yes. I think the fact that 2008 is a year where twelve games can be scheduled makes it doable.

I am also very happy to see SDSU on the schedule the next two years. The Jacks have another great schedule in 2008.

[Eaglegus2]

Sam Houston in 2009, and Georgia Southern is up in the air. With the SoCon adding Samford, Georgia Southern is scheduled to play Samford the same day that the NDSU game was scheduled. NDSU's AD is trying to get a Gateway conference game rescheduled so the NDSU/GSU can still happen next year.

I hope that the game can be played next year. I am looking forward to visiting Fargo.

[SuperJon]

When does the complete Big South conference schedule come out? Curious to see who is visiting Long island in 2008.

I'm not sure. It'll be later in the year, early next year.

how many teams will be in the big south next year?

Technically 6 since PC is still transitional and doesn't count towards conference standings. We're all playing PC though, so you could say seven.

[SuperJon]

Really? Do you know the reason for this?

Um, I was told something about a date getting mixed up. You guys had an offer (it may have been a I-A, not sure) for that date and asked if we could push the series back. We said yes and instead of it starting in 08 at JMU, it's starting in 09 at Liberty and running for four years.

[appfan2008]

Technically 6 since PC is still transitional and doesn't count towards conference standings. We're all playing PC though, so you could say seven.

i hope you all get a bid with the expanded playoffs... i believe the big south deserves it

[appstate38]

Both NDSU and SDSU are playoff eligible in 2008xthumbsupx

xthumbsupx That is awesome... I know you guys can't wait. It will only make the FCS playoffs that much better. It has to suck having to watch another year from the sideline knowing that you can compete on a high level. Oh well '08 will be here before you know it.

as an appfan not having ndsu in there last year sure was nice as they may have been the second best team in the fcs land!

Posted in another thread, but might as well repost here:
Albany rumored OOC:

Delaware

Rhode Island (or Fordham..but probably RI)

Normal NEC schedule with Duquense added next year.

Maybe if the caa prefers to keep the divisions balanced when Old Dominion adds football.

[Dallas Demon]

Northwestern St. plays Jackson St., Baylor, and I think Delaware St. for OOC games. There may be a couple more games to schedule.

[T-Dog]

Knowing App, we'll have a finalized schedule by late April.

Here's what we know

vs Presbyterian
@ James Madison
vs Furman *
@ Western Carolina *
vs Elon *
@ UT-Chattanooga *
vs Wofford *
@ Georgia Southern *
vs The Citadel *
@ Samford *

* = conference

10 so far, two to go. Samford being added, the JMU deal and Presby stepping up really helps us right now as it's hard to get a team to play us.

Heck, it was hard BEFORE Michigan. Now it'll be damn near impossible to find teams.

I suggest we get set up with a big name FBS team and have it on ESPN or ABC as I imagine the interest would be great.

[HensRock]

Delaware's Schedule:
(times are an educated guess)

08/30 6:00 PM Delaware at Maryland, Byrd Stadium (College Park, MD)

09/13 7:00 PM West Chester at Delaware, Delaware Stadium (Newark, DE)

09/20 6:00 PM Delaware at Furman, Paladin Stadium (Greenville, SC)

09/27 7:00 PM Albany at Delaware, Delaware Stadium (Newark, DE)

10/04 1:00 PM Delaware at UMass, McGuirk Alumni Stadium (Amherst, MA)

10/11 1:00 PM Maine at Delaware, Delaware Stadium (Newark, DE)

10/18 12:00 PM William & Mary at Delaware, Delaware Stadium (Newark, DE)

10/25 1:00 PM Delaware at Hofstra, James M. Shuart Stadium (Hempstead, NY)

11/01 12:00 PM Delaware at James Madison, Bridgeforth Stadium (Harrisonburg, VA)

11/08 1:00 PM Towson at Delaware, Delaware Stadium (Newark, DE)

11/15 1:00 PM Delaware at Richmond, Richmond Stadium (Richmond, VA)

11/22 1:00 PM Villanova at Delaware, Delaware Stadium (Newark, DE)

Obviously, all schedules at this point are tentative. But this is what I have thus far:

Illinois St (11 games with dates)
Southern Illinois (9 games with dates)
Yale (complete with dates)
Brown (complete with dates)
Colgate (complete with dates)
Georgetown (8 games with dates)
Southeastern Louisiana (10 games with dates)

Anyone have any more? I know some teams have already finalized their 2008 schedules, so surely someone has some more knowledge.

Also, dates and opponents are what I need. Thanks

Anyone have any more? I know some teams have already finalized their 2008 schedules, so surely someone has some more knowledge.

Also, dates and opponents are what I need. Thanks
I know Southern has 10 games scheduled (3 OOC games and 7 conference games although what 3 non divisional teams we play is not set in stone yet)

[FanOfAllThatIsJMU]

I have JMU's complete schedule. Just dont know the dates for the conference games or the bye.

When do we play Duke and VMI?


Also, it looks like JMU will only have 5 home games, man why can't our AD be more like Montana's ;)

[mcveyrl]

I think we've got 6.

4 conference games, plus ASU and Liberty at home.

Then 4 conference games on the road, plus Duke and VMI

EDIT: Never mind...I heard that Liberty was getting pushed back a year and forgot.

Different question: Do we have a 12 game schedule in 08?

[BestOfBreed]

Wofford has the usual SoCon games and South Carolina in Columbia on Sept 20, 2008. Not sure about the other OOC games though. I think Charleston Southern is one of them though.

Knowing App, we'll have a finalized schedule by late April.

Here's what we know

vs Presbyterian
@ James Madison
vs Furman *
@ Western Carolina *
vs Elon *
@ UT-Chattanooga *
vs Wofford *
@ Georgia Southern *
vs The Citadel *
@ Samford *

* = conference

10 so far, two to go. Samford being added, the JMU deal and Presby stepping up really helps us right now as it's hard to get a team to play us.

Heck, it was hard BEFORE Michigan. Now it'll be damn near impossible to find teams.

I suggest we get set up with a big name FBS team and have it on ESPN or ABC as I imagine the interest would be great.


Presby coming to the Rock.... Man that is a tough intro in FCS football. We will be sure to lay out the Welcome Mat for them.

I've heard a rumor that Samford opens up its conference schedule against App State at Seibert Stadium.

Maybe App should just buy out your home games so that both schools can make some money on the games.

I guess such hostility comes from the frustration of receiving a spanking from the Terriers and having that negate the good PR from the Michigan game.

What is hostile about wanting to help you little guys make a little more cash? Your'e right about the PR I think I need to return all the SI, and USA Today cover stories now. Also, I wish ESPN would quit playing that darn ASU Pontiac game changing moment promo all the time. They were even still talking about the Michigan upset during the Navy/Pitt game last night. Maybe the Wofford PR machine needs to do a better job of getting the news out. Congrats on your big upset at USC. xlolx

[Husky Alum]

NU's OOC is as follows for 2008 - only 11 games I'm told we may stay with 11 unless we can get a "high quality" game (i.e. we likely won't play a MAAC team or someone like Sacred Heart):

@ Ball State (August 28)
@ Georgia Southern
Cal-Davis

The CAA Schedule (in no order)
@ Towson
@ W&M
Villanova
UMass
UNH
URI
@Maine
@ Hofstra

NU's 2009 Schedule is interesting as the farthest the team travels is to Villanova...

OOC in 2009
@ Boston College
Holy Cross
Youngstown

CAA in 2009
W&M
Towson
Maine
Hofstra
@ UMass
@ UNH
@ URI
@ Villanova

I suppose NDSU will be in October then.

Oct. 4 SIU will go to Fargo.

Jerk/Dorkso know where their bread is buttered. They are mouthpieces for the BCS; nothing more.

[Husky Alum]

Check the last time you played UMass Hofstra and Maine (I think it was 2005) if you were home in 2005, you're on the road in 2008 and vice versa.

[BulldogFan]

The Citadel has Clemson and Florida in 2008. Coach Higgins prefers 1 FBS game per year but has to deal with the AD who is basing the sports dept. on $$$ to fund stadium expansion/scholarship funds. Agree with the other SOCON followers about the late release of schedules. Personally, prefer a home and home with another Academy like in the early '90s. Also a game with a top level FCS team annually in mid-atlantic or northeast. It's all about the playoffs and getting a shot. Go Dogs!

[FanOfAllThatIsJMU]

Once again, we don't play JMU. That was pushed back to 2009.

[FanOfAllThatIsJMU]

Also, that week of Oct 18 is JMU's fall break. That game will be away (or a bye) as it usual is during our fall break.

[bodoyle]

We start the team off @ Penn State.

We will host Towson and Colgate and will return the favor to Towson in '09

[UNHWildCats]

yes sorry I forgot about the liberty/jmu change, I will fix that later today.

Travis,
You can also pencil in (yellow) W&M vs. Richmond for the last game of the year. That's a long-standing rivalry game.

OK thanks :)

[FanOfAllThatIsJMU]

as well as Towson vs JMU, not really a rivalry game but past few years (including this year) it has been the last game of the season. here is my best guess.



SCEHDULED GUESS

8/30/2008 @ Duke

9/6/2008 App State

9/13/2008 Bye NOT Villanova

9/20/2008 @ VMI

9/27/2008 UMass

10/4/2008 @Maine NOT Umass

10/11/2008 Hofstra NOT Maine

10/18/2008 Bye NOT W&M, fall break so most likely away or bye

10/25/2008 @Villanova NOT Hofstra

11/1/2008 Delaware

11/8/2008 @ Richmond NOT Towson

11/15/2008 W&M NOT Richmond

11/22/2008 @Towson Most likely Towson since we seem to play them the last game of the year

Are you sure on the W Illinois and UNI locations? by the way you have it and how the Gateway teams played this year and switching the home teams next year that means that W Illinois has 5 conf road games and UNI has 3 instead of 4 each.

[BearsCountry]

That is what I got from the Bison board.

[UNHWildCats]

That is what I got from the Bison board.


Are they assuming the Western Illinois game will be a home game because they played at Western Illinois this year? They did have a home and home, but I would think the conference schedule would supercede that? Does anyone know for sure?

I get what you are saying, I just bet they do some switcheroo with expansion.

Man thats another awesome schedule for us. Some great home games, a local payday game with Iowa State, and another tough road schedule to boot.

7 wins with that schedule and I'd hope we'd be a lock for playoffs.

I dont think 7-5 will be a lock for the playoffs unless the field does get expanded next year. With the 12th game for a lot of teams you may need 8 wins to get in.

The light blue is for confirmed games with unknown dates. There just thrown in there. The orange is confirmed games and confirmed dates.

As teams announce schedules and openings on days begin to narrow I will make educated guesses on dates and those will be highlighted with yellow which is confirmed games and likely dates.

no problem love your work each year with these schedules unh

[UNHWildCats]

Thanks... I hope this works better this year like this.... I had such proiblems some days making the excel sheet into PDF for those without excel. This should solve that problem.


Im also considering a setup like NationalChamps.com does and have a page for every teams future schedules since a lot of teams have a game or two already schedule for several years in the future. If I do that I will work on it this winter after the playoffs.

I know there is an open date for the 4 OOC games we could schedule for the 12 games, but I hadn't heard of CCU filing that spot.

With the uncertaintly around the NEC AQ for next season (uncertain as to whether it will come in next season or in 09), this is a schedule made for at-large contention. There is really no other reason to play such a schedule. These teams aren't big payouts. The other one could have something to do with the fact that we are getting close to basically playing a CAA north schedule.xcoffeex

CCSU and Monmouth will be back to their old style next year. Robert Morris SHOULD...SHOULD be improved. And Duquense is adding 25 scholarships this fall to a team that is normally solid.

Basically, Albany is playing 5 Playoff (possible) teams and four others that should not bring down the GPI, Massey..whomever you want to use.

Heck, an 8-4 record with that schedule is the equivalent of a good 8-3 record during an 11 game season.

I know Flacco, Santos, and Coen are gone, but they reload. Fordham will be even stronger!

That, is arguably one of the toughest schedules for an OOC...no matter WHAT conference you are in.

[andy7171]

I don't know where you got your info, but I have Colgate's schedule showing complete....and Towson isn't on it.

See here:
http://www.gocolgateraiders.com/sidebar.asp?id=493&path=football

The only game listed versus Towson is in 2011....do you have a link to a reference that shows different?
I'll go with your source. It's more official looking. :o

You'll be giving Southern Utah a run for their money with that schedule!

[Umass74]

Coen is a Junior; you'll be seeing him next year. :D

[Dane96]

Fantabulous....I am excited. I may go puke now.

In all seriousness, I actually don't mind the schedule. We need to take our licks (just like we did 8 years ago when we moved up) so we know what is expected.

Plus, it will be easy to recruit kids with scholarships and that kind of schedule!!!

[aceinthehole]

I've always admired and enjoyed the schedule UA has put together over the years. 2008 again makes a statement that they are playing for a NEC championship and an at-large bid. Good for them! xbowx

That being said, I think this is a little too much. I think a few Danes fans pointed out this before, but they will at most have 30 schollys next year. Trying to go against 63 scholly playoff-caliber teams for 5 weeks straight to open the season (4 on the road) is insane!

Good luck to Albany and I think its great for the NEC too, I just don't want to see the Danes open up with a 1-4 record going into NEC. :)

[Dane96]

It will be a toughie!!! Yes, we will have the max of 30 rides over probably 45-50 kids next season.

I would love 2-3...but 1-4 is more likely. Hofstra and Fordham are the two I see as possible wins.

[UNHWildCats]

Albany Coach Bob Ford quoted in today's Schenectady Gazette : "If you think our schedule was tough this year, listen to next year's schedule. We are playing UMass, Fordham, New Hampshire, Hofstra, and Delaware to start the season. Four of those games are on the road."


Note to San Diego... this is how its done xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

[JMG1MON]

This is great. Fantastic job!!!

I will try and get some info as to what Monmouth's schedule will be. I have my doubts that we will see that Lafayette game. This year's game was cancelled and just have a feeling it will not go off. It was rumored at the beginning of the season that MU's first game is home vs. Maine (I guess the 6th). Again, we will have to wait and see.

With the extra week this year games begin August 30th, so its possible thats when the game is.

Sounds similar to our schedule this season-Youngstown St. Richmond, Hofstra, Maine and Elon on the 17th we are doing it with about 45 scholarships. Its tough but it is the only way to develop a program overtime. Next year we will be at 57 scholarships or more- we should improve.

[BobbyMo]

Congrats to UAlbany. That looks like a monster OOC slate.

[FargoBison]

NDSU will play Central Conn State next year, no return game. The home game with Georgia Southern will be moved to another year thanks to scheduling conflicts.

[MaximumBobcat]

Bobcats just nailed down SMU in 2008!

[poly51]

Note to San Diego... this is how its done xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx


I would suggest an OOC for U San Diego of

Sac State
UC Davis
Cal Poly
Azusa Pacific (Everbody gets 1 cupcake)

I'm not sure how much OOC USD can get, but if you added SUU and UNC, that would be a better schedule to argue with if they got a bunch of blowouts and played UCD and CP close...still not much of an argument though.

Compared to UC Davis' OOC for 2008:
home vs. EWU
@ Montana
@ Northeastern (if they still have football)
@ Central Arkansas
home vs. Univ. of North Dakota
then add in:
home vs. SUU
home vs. Sac State
@ Cal Poly
prolly home vs. Portland State, maybe home vs. Northern Arizona or @ South Dakota State and another DII perhaps, but with UND in there, you gotta go FCS with UNC or try and get a midwestern/eastern school to come out to Cali.

That and the possible USD schedule really doesn't compare, nor with 99% of FCS schools.

[aceinthehole]

NDSU will play Central Conn State next year, no return game. The home game with Georgia Southern will be moved to another year thanks to scheduling conflicts.

Thanks, great news!

So far that's two current top-25 teams (NDSU and Del. St) on the 2008 schedule for CCSU!

Not as many tough games as Albany's schedule yet, but we're getting there xsmiley_wix

That's great. I love seeing NEC teams branching out to different conferences. I think our performance at Montana gave a little more insight that the top teams in the NEC can be competitive nationally. Hopefully you guys can give a good showing at NDSU next year.

[JMG1MON]

Games for Monmouth with URI and Maine (home).

Possibly Bryant, who will be in transition to FCS and future conference foe, and possibly Coastal Carolina.

2009- URI (home), Colgate, Old Dominion
2010- Old Dominion (home), Colgate
2011- Villanova
2012- Cornell
2013- Cornell, Columbia

This is coming from our beat writer for the Asbury Park Press, directly from Coach Callahan. They are of course tentative, as most games are. Scroll about 1/3 of the way down.

[UNHWildCats]

Ivies only play 10 games.

[dgreco]

Ivies only play 10 games.

I thought so when i looked at the page I posted to soon. I wonder who Bryant is going to play, they normally do not say anything so its hard to find out. They need at least half FCS games, but I do not know how many NEC teams they will be playing.

Marist and Iona will be looking for a game since La Salle dropped football this week.

I would think atleast 4 NEC games isnt out of the question either so that could be 6 games right there.

s bryant not going up in the nec? or are they going up in indie for nxt year? jw.

[UNHWildCats]

I think the first year they will be independent but im not sure. I think they also count as a Div II still for the first year so a lot of teams may not want to play them, but it being the NEC that may not be as much an issue since most of them already play atleast one Div II team so they can just make that Bryant.

I figure they will be considered independent for 2 year s I think from what the NEC commissioner said at a bryant student senate meeting when she visited. I was more wondering as far as the site you put up

When I update the NEC page again Bryant will be listed there even though they will be an independent next season.

thanks for the great work and quick responses.

[crimsonfootball]

We play the same schedule every year same weeks, same opponents, til 2011 at least. Holy Cross, Lehigh, Lafeyette, and the 7 other Ivies, just alternate home and away each year. With no playoffs, this is getting a little boring..........

That would be great if it were to happen. The organizers of that game will likely hold off on finalizing it until after the National Championship just in case UNI and Montana play each other. xthumbsupx

@LSU
@JMU
then all the conference games
and possibly 1 or 2 others.

[I Bleed Purple]

We've got Hawaii and Utah, from reports I've heard.

[santosballnewhampshire]

unh plays at army and possible chance of albany, and dartmouth. According to McDonnell we are not playing 12 games, also in 2009 we are set to play at Pitt

[BULLDOG8180]

Probably toughest in the country:

OOC
@Clemson
@Florida
Samford
Princeton
+ one

+SOCON schedule

dang, Les is making it hard to improve on 7-4.

LSU game isn't until 09. We have no FBS teams next year and I doubt any of them will agree to play us next year. Sucks.

You got that right! Harvard should shake up its OOC schedule, at least by playing other PL schools like we used to. We played Bucknell, Fordham and Colgate in the 90s. Better yet, follow Princeton and Yale's course of scheduling non-PL opponents. C'mon, Murph! Variety is the spice of life.xpeacex

[bodoyle]

2008 schedule
@Penn State
vs Colgate
vs Towson
@Presbyterian
vs Stony Brook
vs Liberty
@Gardner-Webb
@VMI
vs Charleston Southern

We will host Towson and Colgate and will return the favor to Towson in '09

We tried to get Sam Houston State but it fell through somehow.

CDB said he wants to play 12 games. 6 home 6 road. Not sure who the other 3 are.

[USDFAN_55]

I would suggest an OOC for U San Diego of

Sac State
UC Davis
Cal Poly
Azusa Pacific (Everbody gets 1 cupcake)

That's a schedule the fans would like to see, but here is what we will probably see:

Azuza Pacific
Cal Lutheran
Whittier
Northern Colorado

Note: This is just hypathetical. The schedule for USD usually doesn't get released for another 6 months or so.

I wouldn't mind seeing UCD, Poly, NAU, PSU, or Sac State on the schedule. I guess I can keep dreamingxnodx

[Jiggs]

Probably toughest in the country:

OOC
@Clemson

Wouldn't Samford be a part of your SOCON schedule?

you guys "in" next year? I thought it was 2009.

[ucdtim17]

UCD adds Iona at home. UND in playing in Davis (we're not playing USD, as expected)

Home: North Dakota, Southern Utah, Sacramento State, Iona, Northern Colorado, Portland State
Away: San Jose State, Montana, Central Arkansas (which may be somewhere in Arkansas that isn't Conway), Northeastern, San Diego, Cal Poly

well you do got 'ucd so that is 1 of the teams on the list. Maybe it helps drop one of those D3 teams.

I'm pretty surprised Murphy is scheduling like that. There's nothing wrong with playing an all-PL OOC schedule, but the same three teams year in and year out? Not good.

Harvard should schedule Northeastern again, or even UMass. Heck even playing a PLL team once in a while isn't a bad thing.

That's kind of a bummer, as again, we're less interesting than the 9-3 teams. With that said, since we always get that awful bye on the first week of the season, perhaps the rest in the middle will be a help.

Nice to see an FBS on the schedule in 2009!

Go cats!

2008 Big Sky Schedules

http://travisliles.com/fcs/bigsky.htm

Weber State xeekx, Portland State, Sacramento State, Montana State, Northern Arizona, Eastern Washington, and yes even Northern Colorado ponying up and playing real games OOC next year!! Idaho State xconfusedx, and MONTANA xlolxxlolxxlolx, well we'll just have to wait and see.

[UNHWILDCATS05]

Why would you not play 12??? Inability to find a D1 team to travel to durham??? I guess the real question is - will an 8-3 be looked over for a 9-3??
