Really? I think Lehigh's is also up there.

Nice schedule! Looking forward to our first ever meeting in football on August 30th. Should be a good turnout under the lights. Last year we had about 7500 fans for the Georgetown game and perfect weather. Good luck in 2008- except 8/30. Just kidding I expect a tough gamexnodx

And this is coming from an App Cultist?

[Henny]

What does 'Gate have coming back?
Furman seems like a natural OOC game with similar academics

Go Raiders!

TOUGHEST schedule in the patriot...jeez

I don't know--Georgetown's schedule will go to Howard, to Yale, Penn, and to Richmond. Not much of a break for a 1-10 team that graduated its top QB, top two receivers, and two of its top three rushers.

Three very tough road games.xnodx

[AndrewFU21]

Can't wait for 9/13! I wish the trip weren't so far, but maybe some TV will pick it up. I do like seeing us schedule peer institutions like Colgate, hopefully that will happen more in the future.

[PLLB]

three scholarship schools two on the road and furman a historically strong program from the so-con trumps ivy league programs and howard any day the killer game on that schedule is Richmond. Scholarship schools always carry more weight in my mind then non-scholarship schools.

If he is as smart as I believe he is, then there is not doubt he is gone by Oct 1xnodx

I wish Harvard and Colgate would play again. I haven't been up there since '95. Does Hamilton still have only one pizzeria?

Did Ye Olde Pizza Pub close down? New York Pizza is still around.

Agree we should play again.

Well, if you want to count the Pizza Pub, then we have 3 (possibly 4)

I wouldn't include Pizza Pub mostly because it's too far to walk from campus :p Well, that, and the pizza's awful xnutsx The wings are pretty good though xnodx

In the midst of downtown, there's NY Pizzeria (the famous 'Slices'), Oliveri's (probably the best tasting stuff in town), and you could probably also count Numero Uno's (pretty much across the street from Slices, although more sit-down restaurant type).

We have tried to get Harvard on the schedule but they turned us down.
