The Citadel 2008 Schedule (Tentative)

[CID1990]

Here it be:

Thu. Aug 28(Thursday) Webber International High School
Sept 6 @Clempson
Sept 13 Open
Sept. 20 Princeton
Sept 27 Western Carolina
Oct 4 @ Yosefs
Oct 11th Elon
Oct. 18th @ Furple
Oct. 25 @ Samford
Nov. 1st gsu
Nov. 8th @ WoCo
Nov 15th Chatty (Homecoming)
Nov 22 @ Florida

So, we get to play 12 games, and we start out with one that doesn't even count. Also, there is a rumor in the air that Clempson is going to dump us for a TV deal with ABC to play Alabama in the Georgia Dome. If they do, I hope we can find a CAA team that is open on that date.

Why even play Webber Int'l?

[bamamountaineer1013]

Looks like a great schedule, and a lot of the talk around these parts is that Clemson and Alabama can't come to terms, but that could change. See you Oct. 4

[CID1990]

Apparently, our AD agreed to a two-year thing with them. I don't have a problem with doing the honorable thing and doing what we said we'd do, but I do have a problem with playing them in the first place. I think they got on the schedule last year due to a scheduling problem with someone else, and Webber was all we could get.

I would rather just be open on that day.

[WrenFGun]

It would be great if UNH could add the Citadel as a 12th game. I'm not sure how that's going, but it'd be a great matchup. Admittedly, a more southern CAA team is more likely, but you never know.

[WrenFGun]

2 FBS teams is kind of ugly, though. :(

[CID1990]

Also, the Princeton game is a home and away series. I'm glad we were able to work a two year deal with one of the Ivy League schools. I would LOVE to be able to do the same thing with Harvard or Yale.

[CID1990]

2 FBS teams is kind of ugly, though. :(

That's our usual fare. This season was an anomaly with just Wisconsin on the schedule.

If you guys are open on 6 September, we might be looking for a game if Clempson dumps us. (The deal with ABC is just an intricate ploy... they are actually scared to play us. xsmiley_wix ) I have been ranting on our own message board that we should be playing a CAA school every year, like we used to do (we used to play W&M and Delaware a lot). I would be in favor of dropping one FBS game if we could get a quality FCS opponent instead. Heck, we used to play Patriot League teams every year a little further back.... I'd like to see that again, too.

[jonmac]

Looks like the App game could be homecoming. It was that weekend this year, I think. It is usually around that weekend or the next. Nice time to be in Boone. Is there not a nice time be Boone, though?

During the rut?

[appfan2008]

The school in the northwestern part of south carolina is called clemson not clempson as they have been referred to a number of times in this thread

[jonmac]

Dude, it's a SC thing. Kinda like TarHicks, Dukies, etc. Let it go.

[08Dawg]

You, sir, are obviously not from South Carolina.

[CID1990]

I can't believe someone didn't realize that Clempson is a gag name like Dook. Heck, I was cutting them some slack by not calling them Klempson.

[jonmac]

CID, he's young. Cut him some slack too. BTW, other than that grill company that's a darn good schedule.

[08Dawg]

Yeah, we avoid playing you guys at (our) Homecoming! Personally, I hate the fact we'd even consider playing Webber. We flat rolled over them last time, 76-zip, attendance sucked for that game and that was a Saturday! This is going to be a Thursday night! Hope the Corps of Cadets is ready to be loud...they'll likely be the only people in the stadium.

I'd go to that game if I lived in Charleston. I had a lot of fun the last time I went to an App game @ the Citadel. It was a mighty hot day down in Chas, (don't remember the date, but it had already gotten chilly in Boone. Around 90 in Chucktown, as I recall...) and I got a heck of a sunburn, but between good football, the peanut man, a local high school marching band getting down, Grambling style, and just being in Charleston, it was a good time.

Oh Clempscumxnodx

[OL FU]

I know they (VMI) are not up to the competition, but it is just sad, sad I say, that VMI is not on the schedule.xnonono2x

[Biff]

I can't believe someone didn't realize that Clempson is a gag name like Dook. Heck, I was cutting them some slack by not calling them Klempson.

Actually, every Clemson fan I know (I know a bunch) get pissed that annoucers say Clemzon. The pronuciation that they prefer is closer to Clempson. They don't really emphasize the p, but certainly don't put a z in it.

I like the idea of this game. Tommy Bowden is good at losing to underdogs or at least teams he should beat. He's also good at winning games where the Tiggers are underdogs.

[citdog]

I think this schedule is a good one if we can get the Cow College off of it and schedule another FCS team in their place. oh an don't say I didn't warn you......




Bart will lead us to a CHAMPIONSHIP!

[Cobblestone]

Damn! I asked our A.D. to schedule a game with you guys. I HAVE to meet CitDog.

[Biff]

I know they (VMI) are not up to the competition, but it is just sad, sad I say, that VMI is not on the schedule.xnonono2x

It is sad, but I think what you are seeing is the result of VMI leving the Southern Conference. There haven't competed competitively since they left. We all know that if you play with the best, you will step your game up. I, for one, am done with VMI. There administration is doing nothing for this rivalry at this point. Not to mention, I have never considered them a rivalry. They are too far away. I'd rather beat Furman and the new hometown team, CSU (Of course, our rival is up to some debate amongst our alum). But if the El Cid/VMI game where to go back to playing on neutral fields, as this game has sometimes done, I think you would see this rivalry regain some momentum.

[citdog]

if it's at Rhoady then you will see me. i'll be the one astride the charger exhorting his troops forward for South Carolina and for GLORY!

i too am done with the V@gina Military Institute. there is no honor in beating them by 50+ pts.

[08Dawg]

To say nothing of the fact that this year such a blowout was on their home field.

[WCU_FL_Alum]

I dont understand...playing a HS team? Do teams do this....even as a pre-season scrimmage game?

It is sad on many levels not the least of which is what VMI football has become:(

Of course, I don't remember it being significantly better the last 20 years in the SoConxnonono2x

OK, I'll say it then...a high school team on a supposedly respectable FCS school's schedule? Are you freakin kidding me? Is that game going to actually count toward your overall record?

I heard that the local middle school's JV squad is looking for an opponent, so if Clemson drops you, you can try to schedule them.

The FAKE THE CITADELxrulesx

[bigred]

To say our admin. is doing nothing is a half truth...I expect more from a citadel man. Your admin. has a priority of playing D-I teams and wants us to remain flexible so you can get your money....speaks volumes about your admin.

The Keydets are definitely down, but I am not ready to say die at this point. Coach Reid has a plan and he is only 30% done with builiding his team. I am confident that when we play the bullpups again it will not be the blow out that was witnessed this year in LexVegas.

[Ivytalk]

Also, the Princeton game is a home and away series. I'm glad we were able to work a two year deal with one of the Ivy League schools. I would LOVE to be able to do the same thing with Harvard or Yale.

So would I! I hope you guys have a generous supply of Earl Grey tea on the P'ton sideline. I hear that's all those preps drink.xrolleyesx :p

Hey it wasn't a crack just a question. Yes Western has scheduled some cream puffs lately but, at this point we have needed them. I was simply asking if this was common.....I didn't know college teams actuallt scheduled scrimmage games with high schools. Please take your heart off your sleeve.

[Cranium716]

Ah, I stand corrected then. The NAIA is only a step above high school football anyway.

But that middle school is still looking for someone to play if you guys need another ridiculously easy opponent. xsmiley_wix

Wow, nice comeback that is completely unfounded. While you guys were whining about not making the playoffs, we were in Boone whooping up on App St for 57+ minutes and only lost because of a few stupid coaching decisions. This is the same App St team that beat your ass by 21 AT HOME. So no big guy, I think JMU would have beat Citadel's ASS!

xnonox xnonox xnonox

[CID1990]

Ladies, LADIES.....

Webber International is an NAIA college. I figured the intelligent folks here on AGS would see that I renamed several of the schools on the schedule. Summerville High School would have given us a better game than Webber last year, that's why I called them Webber International High School.

College teams don't play high school teams. I am sure there is an NCAA rule about this somewhere. (Although back in the late 1800s and early 1900s, some colleges did play HS teams).

The link above has some updated pictures. The home side and press box/luxary seats will be completely finished for next season. We have been in the new homeside for 2 seasons now, but there has been construction all around us. It will be nice to get the boxes done. We were also without lights last year, but new ones to be installed this summer.

I believe we are looking for a game that weekend also in it doesn't work out with Clemson. We definitely need games and would probably do a home and home with you guys. We do somehow only still have 9 games on our schedule.

Bring it. We would be happy to come down there. The last time we came to the SoCon we easily beat Georgia Southern. I was wrong though we have already scheduled the mighty Central Connecticut St.

a bit different in Aug and Sept dock. TRUST ME!

[stevdock]

We came down there in mid Sept. We would have no problem with the weather I would be more worried about our brand new quarterback. We've gone down south many times early in the season and hardly ever run into a problem. We would have gone down to App. this year but they backed out to play Michigan. How dare they :)

If Clempson dumps you, Lehigh is looking for a replacement for its game with Liberty when Liberty withdrew...The ol' former Lehigh HC against his former OC would be a lot of fun! Plus, I'd love to come down to Charleston again for the rematch. Great place.

you really should just call West Point out instead of being so veiled!

[CID1990]

In the early 1900's we used to play Porter Academy, which is now Porter-Gaud (a private K-12 in Charleston).


Even today they would probably give us a better game than Webber.

I am offended and saddened that someone of my same species can be so stupid that they think The Citadel would actually play a High School team. Now Weber International is terrible, but seriously a High School team xlolx

No reason to be an a$@. I just missed the joke which I already admitted. The real reason for your prior comment seems the name of the Citadel's stadium. Pretty silly to be offended by history.

Its ok man---I dont think my initial comment was even directed to you, it was the Cranium76 guy. Please dont bring up the debate of Confederate glorification again ive alreay gone down that road with Citdog xlolx. I could care less who the stadium is named after.

[08Dawg]

Anyway...Lehigh would be fun, or somebody from the CAA or Big Sky. Just please God no more Webber! Watching them flattened once was funny, two would just be boring. I'd rather watch a nail-biter and have the real possibility of losing rathern that see some poor NAIA team get absolutely embarrased like Webber did.

Tangentially, any good FCS teams out in East Texas, considering that's where I'll be this time next year?
