Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but here is ODU's 2012 schedule via the pilot:

ODU FOOTBALL'S 2012 SCHEDULE
Sept. 1 vs. Duquesne
Sept. 8 at Hampton
Sept. 15 vs. Campbell
Sept. 22 vs. New Hampshire
Sept. 29 at Richmond
Oct. 6 Off
Oct. 13 vs. Villanova
Oct. 20 at Towson
Oct. 27 vs. Delaware
Nov. 3 at Georgia State

Nov. 17 at James Madison

[Walkon79]

I think this is pretty official:

Sept 1 vs. Chadron State
Sept 8 at Drake
Sept 15 vs. Stephen F. Austin
Sept 22 vs. Northern Colorado
Sept 29 at Southern Utah
Oct 6 at Cal Davis
Oct 13 vs. Eastern Washington

Nov 10 vs. Portland State
Nov 17 at Montana

Tough stretch in the middle at Southern Utah and at UC Davis. I can't remember ever travelling to either of these sites. 6 home games, only one non-counter and no money games. This might be our best schedule yet as far as setting up for the playoffs.

What I really like about getting these early schedules is how it fills out some of the tougher schedules to fill out like the Pioneer and MEAC:

Yeah, or maybe ODU backed out and signed on for a FBS payday instead?

[ST_Lawson]

If you are looking for more television coverage then the ADs at the schools who want exposure should approach ESPN or COMCAST/NBC about doing a national FCS game of the week. Appalachian, Montana, Delaware, ND State, Youngstown State... get the name brands that have won championships of late and do something on the football field akin to what basketball does with Bracketbusters. Too may schedules are built to give paydays and rack up easy wins and fail to address the regionalization of FCS. Most of the schools are in the East and South. Few in the West and Midwest. MVFC v SoCon v Southland v CAA v Big Sky all should take one game a year for this purpose and do a made for TV weekend with the best matchups getting on television. You could get at least 5 games on the air if you juggled the time zones... 11am / 2:30 / 6 / 9:30 / 12a

I doubt they will (unless they reschedule it for Thursday or Friday night), but the Montana @ App State game to kick off the season is ripe for something like this. It damn well better be on ESPN3 at least, so I can watch that on Saturday (our home opener is Thursday night).

[narc]

Yeah, or maybe ODU backed out and signed on for a FBS payday instead?

According to Rich Radford at the VP and Coach Wilder, they're not looking for any FBS paydays any time soon. Methinks it's a typo on WIU's schedule perhaps as ODU and HU have a home and home series that ends next year or maybe the year after next that will be replaced with a home and home series with NSU. Apparently ODU bought out Campbell's home game in their series so there's an extra home game next year. Of course, I reserve the right to be wrong.

How about Montana State plays at UND ( I know it would be twice in one season ala NFL), but both teams then would have 11 DI games and a better shot at the playoffs. (It would suck to have 1 win short just like the 2010 Griz).

2-2 is what Im seeing with that stretch (that depends on how Lehigh looks with all the new pieces), 1-3 isnt out of the realm of possibility though. Itll be interesting what game fits into the 9/29 slot or if the Flames get an early conference game and then can fit that last non-conference into the Homecoming weekend

Do you know a time for the Blue game? My guess from the rest of schedule is 3:30. I can feel the cold already, I really wish they would play it at 1

[BlueHenSinfonian]

None listed yet. The theory is that the 3:30 starts are just a placeholder until the TV schedule gets worked out. Personally I'm hoping for a 7pm kickoff so I can actually watch it live, but who knows.

[catamount man]

Western's game with EKU got dropped, although I still don't know why. CATS schedule isn't finished but here is what I do know:

Aug 30/Sep 1 MARS HILL (d2) *our only win in 2011*
Sep 8 at Marshall *1st meeting since 1996, the Herd's last season in FCS*
Oct 6 GEORGIA SOUTHERN
Oct 27 APPALACHIAN STATE
Nov 17 at Alabama

[Lehigh Football Nation]

With Delaware's schedule, I figured out some stuff:

Nova plays three more games - against Maine, Georgia State, and James Madison.

Since we know Georgia State's schedule is a bye week last of the season, Georgia State plays Villanova 10/20 (at Nova?)

9/29, 11/3 or 11/10 James Madison either plays Maine or Villanova.

I need two OOC games for James Madison. All I have is the West Virginia game in DC. Do they play Liberty? If they do, it's sometime in November.

Maine has Albany, Bryant, and BC as their OOC schedule, all that's waiting is the order of those games.

[GA St. MBB Fan]

Since we know Georgia State's schedule is a bye week last of the season, Georgia State plays Villanova 10/20 (at Nova?)



What makes you think it is @Nova? And not Nova coming to Atlanta?

Edit: Nova coming to Atlanta gives Georgia State 4 CAA home games.

JMU does not play Liberty this coming year. JMU and Liberty signed a two and two prior to the 2009 season but the 2012 game (@ JMU) was moved to 2013 to accommodate the West Virginia game I believe. We don't know who our other two OOC games are for this season. Which is kind of funny since we already know our 2013 OOC schedule: Liberty, CCSU and at Akron.

GA St. MBB Fan is right, the Nova game is at GSU.

The only way the remaining games can fit, assuming no conference games before 9/29, is:

9/29 Nova@Maine
11/3 JMU@Maine
11/10 JMU@Nova

[Lehigh Football Nation]

I'm going to add Nova@Georgia State on 10/20. I think the rest of the CAA schedule seems logical and is probably the one, but nevertheless I'm going to wait for official word on those games since there is a possibility that JMU/Maine is before 9/29.

Is JMU playing two money games? Another JMU OOC possibility might be Robert Morris.

[whitey]

Doubtful. Most JMU fans are hoping for two OOC home games which would give us 6 home games + Fedex. I'd look for possible Big South, NEC and Pioneer opponents for JMU to bring to Bridgeforth the first two weeks.

It would have to be either 9/1 or 9/8...I find that extremely unlikely.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

A lot of Big South teams possible on 9/1 or 9/8. VMI has Delaware State on 9/1, and Gardner-Webb has Richnmond on 9/8, but everyone save Liberty seems wide open.

I think he was referring to the possibility of JMU vs. GA State or Maine vs. GA State being before 9/29 as being highly unlikely.

Not whether JMU will schedule a Big South team.

I believe LFN was responding to my post where I said look for JMU to schedule a couple home games versus NEC, Pioneer or Big South opponents for 9/1 and 9/8.

What's to do in Lynchburg? Lehigh visiting Liberty on 9/22. Looks like a possible 3-day deal, so assuming arrival Friday afternoon/early evening what are the suggestions for a good repaste?

[centraljerseycat]

As far as I know 'Nova is at Maine on 9/29 and Georgia State on 10/20.
JMU comes to 'Nova on 11/3 or 11/10.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

As far as I know 'Nova is at Maine on 9/29 and Georgia State on 10/20.
JMU comes to 'Nova on 11/3 or 11/10.

Another party with Nova@Maine on 9/29.

My problem with sealing Nova@Maine on 9/29 is the possibility is that it's on 11/3 - which is only possible if JMU is playing Maine on 9/1 or 9/8. nwFLGriz has accutately put that as "unlikely" but I'm waiting for it to be "impossible". Again, I think that's probably how it will shake out, but since it's theoretically possible until Maine or JMU announces their schedules, I'm leaving it open for now.

If Nova, JMU or Maine announces, then that will seal the deal on the CAA conference schedule. The only real mystery left is which are JMU's two OOC games, and they're probably against (only my guess) a Big South team (call it Presbyterian or Stony Brook) and a NEC team (call it Robert Morris or St. Francis (PA)).

Depends on what you're looking to do. Lots of good outdoorsy stuff in the area, hiking, biking, etc., if you're into that sort of thing. There are some good watering holes, but you'll need to head over to the Rivermont Ave./downtown area to find them. Almost everything around LU is corporate big box hell.

Hearing that it will be Hampton vs WIU on 9/8

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Appreciate all the information on the MEAC and SWAC (and TSU!). I filled in the classic names (Turkey Day, BOA Atlanta Classic, John Merritt Classic) where appropriate.

I left Hampton@WIU and Hampton@ODU for now, even though it's a conflict, since there's nothing to resolve it definitively yet.

One other thing: PVA&M definitely does not play TAMU this year. I think that was pushed out, since McNeese State is playing TAMU on 9/1 and AAMU has been moved to Auburn on 11/17. (McNeese was playing Auburn on 11/3, but that changed.)

There's no announcement of Texas Southern playing North Texas on 9/8 but I've added it to the schedule anyway since it seems sound and the Mean Green do have an "open date" there in between money games, so it seems like a good bet.

A real nice find! I added all these home games for Texas Southern, and as a result have at least one game on the schedule for every SWAC school. I have games for every MEAC school as well save NCAT and Noth Carolina Central, who play FBS teams but don't have announced dates yet.

If you like to dance (or try something new) there is salsa dancing downtown on Friday night at the Dance Theater of Lynchburg, you have the Snowflex Center if you have any younguns (or younguns at heart), you can take a trip up to Appomattox before or after the game (depending on the start time), take a tour of Point of Honor, maybe catch a movie at the 14 screen theater at the mall...head over to http://www.flamefans.com and the more knowledgeable guys over there would be more than happy to add to what I have noted here

Interesting, Bucknell hosts Bryant to complete their schedule. That means only Fordham remains to complete the 2012 Patriot League schedule, and they have two openings left (with URI leaving the schedule as well).

For the record, I also put in McNeese this past weekend.

Rumors circulating that JMU will host St. Francis (PA) on either the 9/1 or 9/8 dates.

For The Citadel, I have some dates on our SoCon schedule (based on other schools' releases):

http://www.college-sports-journal.com/index.php/conf-scheds-2012/socon-sched

I think the game vs. NC State might be the last weekend of the year since the Wolfpack's schedule is set for 9/1 - 9/15.

I have every game for UNI but one:

http://www.college-sports-journal.com/index.php/conf-scheds-2012/mvfc-sched

The three game possibilities are:

10/6 UNI vs. Indiana State or UNI vs. SDSU
10/20 UNI vs. SDSU

The addition of South Dakota's schedule doesn't solve the riddle - though it does create a conflict in Montana on 9/1... who is supposed to travel to App State on that day. xconfusedx

[HailSzczur]

The CAA schedule has Nova and Delaware playing in Chester, this is Delaware's year to host we had it last year. I'm fairly certain that the PPL Park thing is not going to be an annual event.

[NTN GRIZ]

The addition of South Dakota's schedule doesn't solve the riddle - though it does create a conflict in Montana on 9/1... who is supposed to travel to App State on that day. xconfusedx

The Griz vs APP State game was moved to 9/8.


Montana at Appalachian State moved to Sept. 8
Boone, NC (Sports Network) - Appalachian State will host Montana on Sept. 8 next season rather than the originally scheduled Sept. 1, to help accommodate the Southeastern Conference's move from 12 to 14 teams.

The Mountaineers will now travel to Eastern Carolina on Sept. 1 before hosting Montana in the home opener on Sept. 8.

The move is a result of the SEC's need to move East Carolina's game against South Carolina to Sept. 8, which was the originally scheduled date for the Mountaineers' match-up in Greenville, N.C.

Thanks - I missed this. I just fixed it.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

So the PPL event was a one-off thing? Is PPL only going to be the home team when Villanova is "home"? I'm confused...

I've switched it to a Delaware home game for the time being.

There's absolutely no chance that a UD home game is going to be played at PPL. Heck, Delaware Stadium holds almost 4k more than PPL, so why would UD pay money to rent a stadium that is smaller and is 25 minutes from campus? If nova wants to play the UD game there when they are the home team, more power to them. It was nice to not have to suffer the poor facilities at the Radnor stadium - having working toilets and actual concessions to buy food from was a huge boon, even if I had to drive further to get to PPL than Radnor. Considering the Union's schedule, I'm not sure nova will be able to play any games at PPL other than mid to late November games. It'll be interesting to see how that develops.

So it sounds like playing in Chester wasn't quite as bad as you guys were making it out to be before the game.

But there is no way Delaware is giving up this game.

Can't speak for others - I was all in favor of it - PPL is a great soccer stadium and the Union have done a great job with it. Seeing a football game there once every other year, especially in lieu of playing in Radnor, is always preferable. And yes, there's no way UD plays in a smaller stadium, off of campus, and pays more to do so.

South Carolina State vs Georgia State 8/30
South Carolina State @ Arizona State 9/15I have this game at GSU, but I'm going to change it to reflect this date and location.
Source? GSU played at SC State in 2011. To my knowledge, it was part of a home-home deal.


There has been some activity in this thread. Just wondering if you guys had a source for the idea that GSU will be @ SC State? As I said earlier we played at SC State last season. Also folks including folks "in the know" on PantherTalk are pretty certain SC State is coming to Atlanta.

I don't, the source I had indicated this was the second game of a home-and-home. Seeing as how you went to them last year, this would be your year to host. I don't have the link anymore for where I got this from, or I would post it.

Pretty sure LFN just took what was posted on MEAC fans as gospel. Even though they were clearly wrong on at least 3 other games.

[nwFL Griz]

Was your FBS game a one time thing?

No, we've played FBS teams in the past....Iowa in 2006, Oregon in 2005, etc. However, most FBS teams will not pay enough to make it worth losing the revenue from a home game. Maybe O'Day and Pflugrad will schedule some more in the future, but, IMO, it is not necessary to have one every year.

The Grizz are one of the few FCS schools that probably doesn't need to schedule a FBS game. 22-24K fans at home games will do that for you. I think the Grizz have more season ticket holders than most FCS schools ave for fans.....

My source was emphatically not a "MEAC fans" source. I try to independently verify all the games, but I'm not able to verify them all.

Also, Georgia State has had weird issues with scheduling involving the Georgia Dome, so I wasn't sure if that was the situation or not.

Pretty easy for me to switch it back. Given that so many seem to feel like that's the case, that's what I'll do.

Two so far, plus eight conference games. Hopefully we have an opponent for 9/1 that hasn't been announced yet. Traveling to Dartmouth and Colgate so we need a home game if possible.

I'm very interested to see how NEC teams fill schedule holes this year with the new "No Sub DI" rule in place. Should definitely strengthen OOC schedules, but also will likely reduce home games.

Agreed. Remember seing that Fordham was looking for an opponent on 9/1 so maybe SHU could do a home and home with them - it would give SHU 2 Patriot League games and one Ive for its OOC.

Looks like a good OOC schedule for Albany with Colgate and YSU. I thought I saw some reference to Albany playing Maine this year? Any info on that?

Yeah we're on the road at Maine the second week of the season. Tough OOC for us and we're in the bad NEC year as well with two road trips to Western PA this year.

[mainejeff]

Does anyone know what is up with Maine's schedule? We know who the opponents are (@Bryant, Albany, @BC).......what is the hold up??? Are we waiting on JMU or Nova?......maybe BC???

[THE HERD]

I think this is pretty official:

Sept 1 vs. Chadron State
Sept 8 at Drake
Sept 15 vs. Stephen F. Austin
Sept 22 vs. Northern Colorado
Sept 29 at Southern Utah
Oct 6 at Cal Davis
Oct 13 vs. Eastern Washington
Oct 20 OPEN
Oct 27 vs. North Dakota
Nov 3 at Sacramento State
Nov 10 vs. Portland State
Nov 17 at Montana

Tough stretch in the middle at Southern Utah and at UC Davis. I can't remember ever travelling to either of these sites. 6 home games, only one non-counter and no money games. This might be our best schedule yet as far as setting up for the playoffs.

Why are the Cats travelling to Drake? You lose a bet or something? hah

Ha. I wouldn't mind a rematch but have you seen our stadium? Pretty sure JMU will have 6 home games a year most years moving forward with our one OOC away game being FBS. Though with our FBS game this year being at FedEx Field in DC I guess an argument could be made that that's also a home game.

[nwFL Griz]

Is the ACC schedule out yet? I thought they were waiting to see the deal with Syracuse, etc...

It is not out yet. Typically last week in Jan, first week in Feb is the release date for the ACC. I believe the ACC had resigned that Cuse and Pitt are not coming until 2014, however, I think they will request whatever WVU gets in mediation.

And the year after when we play KSU they are going to somehow suck, and this same **** is gonna be pulled out... Even though the year we scheduled them they ended up making the cotton bowl.

You're right, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa State, Colorado State, Wyoming, Ball State, and Central Michigan were all extremely quality teams when NDSU scheduled them as well. They can and should directly be compared with the FBS games Montana, any SoCon team, or basically anyone else have played. Maybe if they scheduled an SEC or an annually worth a **** Big Ten/Pac 12/Big 12 school, then comparison would be more accepted. Kstate is a good start.

Minnesota was a bowl team when our games with them started. Iowa State has been a pretty good program too. I remember ball state going 12-2 the year after we beat them.. Central Michigan won an FBS conference the year we blew them out.

I'm glad you follow all these terrible teams so closely though.

Tenessee was obvioulsy of LSU qaulity, no idea why I even attempted to make that comparison. xholyx

Don't believe I said that. Nice try though Mr. piss match. Tennessee is an SEC program. They were 4-0 outside of the SEC. They didn't lose to New Mexico State at home. It wasn't like they were some joke team. They lost to Florida, So Car, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, LSU, and Kentucky. You can't label a team as poor quality with that schedule. The SEC is the only conference they would have been a cellar dweller in this past season. Keep trying to put words in my mouth though. Your quoting of me is "obvioulsy" full of "qaulity."

Somehow it doesn't matter what FBS teams we beat, it does matter what FCS teams we beat. For the first time in 5 years, Montana didn't schedule a sub DI team this year. Fat lot of good it did you at the end of the season.

Ummm...I know you have a lofty NDSU education, but I'm pretty sure that Western Oregon is a DII team. At least when you are going to talk crap, do it correctly. I don't believe MTfan ever mentioned anything about it's relation to winning titles, as that would have been pretty useless considering NDSU has won a national title every season in their existence. That argument started from a joke about how NDSU has an easy time with FBS games. Nothing about how NDSU wins a BCS title every year, just about that simple fact.

NDSU won the national championship, not you. You had no representation on the 2011-12 team. This is a sports debate site. Just because one's team doesn't win a certain amount of games, it doesn't mean what he or she is saying is not valid. Sure you big dog NDSU fans think that because the school you cheer for won a title makes every thing you type all high and mighty. However, everyone is entitled to an opinion regardless of wins and losses. It gets so old that so many people's only defense is: "Well your team didn't win it all, so take that!" Maybe come up with something intelligent or worthwhile instead.

"what FBS teams WE beat." That just makes me laugh every time. You didn't beat Sam Houston State or Indiana State or even Chester Elementary. Quit trying to own the team's success and act like it entitles you to be king in whatever you post. Let your words talk for themselves, not the success of the school represented on your profile.

Missing Western Oregon was my mistake, it only illustrates Montana's inability to consistently play a full DI schedule. You're a little new here so I'll try to break it down to you. We is a common term used to describe the relationship of these schools to their alumni, fans, and friends. I am a proud graduate of NDSU, grew up on Fargo and have been a Bison fan for almost 40 years. I will say we as long as "they" continue to ask for money and support. I traveled almost 4,000 miles this year to see my team so I believe I am vested enough to use whatever nomenclature I see fit.

As far as the success NDSU has had in FCS, we predicted it because we have a first class organization and a tradition of winning. I'm going to guess by your choice of ISUb and Chester Elementary that you come from that area. I was at that game and that place reminded me a lot of a high school field. I can see the butthurt is strong in this one.

Stick to basketball.

[FCSbuff319]

Chester is one of the most common town names in the United States. Nowhere near ISUb. I was simply picking three schools. I don't represent a team. One does not need to represent a team to know squat about a certain sport. Sure you attended and give to and whatever else with NDSU, but I was simply relating to your ownership of them when it comes to debating something another poster said. Regardless of the fact that NDSU won the national title, their game against Minnesota was less difficult than a majority of the other FBS/FCS match-ups. I'll stick to every sport I have interest in. I don't need to rape my favorite team's success down every debate to prove that others are butthurt about something or that I have any knowledge of that sport. I know sports because I grew up with them and will continue to follow them. My comments on here do not have to be based on the success on the teams I am commenting about, nor should anyone elses.

With EWU and Cal Poly announcing two more games and completing their schedules (the final piece of their puzzle was an game between the two that doesn't count in the conference standings), the Big Sky picture gets clearer:

Idaho State (2), Northern Arizona (2), Northern Colorado (2), Portland State (1), Sacramento State (2), and UC Davis (1) are the final teams that seem to have OOC spots left.

tennessee would have been a basement team in the big10, big12 and pac-12. They weren't quite as bad as minnesota, but still not exactly good either. This year's SEC wasn't exactly the SEC of 2006-2010.

Furman's schedule is tantalizingly close. An announcement from WCU, Wofford or Chatty will likely settle the issue, but perhaps one of these four schools can help with their schedule.

Furman Open Dates: 9/29, 10/6, 10/13, 11/3

Need games against WCU, Wofford, and Chatty.

WCU open dates (shared with Furman): 9/29, 11/3
Wofford open dates (shared with Furman): 10/6, 11/3
Chatty open dates (shared with Furman): 10/6, 10/13, 11/3

Possible combinations:
WCU 9/29, Wofford 10/6, Chatty 10/13
WCU 9/29, Wofford 10/6, Chatty 11/3
WCU 9/29, Chatty 10/6, Wofford 11/3
Wofford 10/6, Chatty 10/13, WCU 11/3

If Chatty announces, I can figure out Furman's schedule due to process of elimination.

You are right. We knew about Army last season as a 9/29 date. I suspect we open on 9/1 at home against CCSU then 9/8 Pace,9/15 at Syracuse ?, Colgate already confirmed for the 22nd at home and at Army on the 29th. Kind of a mixed bag of teams but I will take 6 home games. Hopefully the official schedule will be out this week.

LFN, I don't think that is Furman's actual schedule. If it were, then it would not be possible for Chatty to play both WCU and Wofford. Also, the fact that it conflicts with an already released schedule puts the whole thing in doubt. (At least the games not already known. ie, WCU, @Woff and Chatty)

The remaining SoCon conference schedule involves Samford, Wofford, and Western Carolina. Two games, WCU@Wofford and Samford@WCU, have to take place on 9/15 or 9/22. Wofford@Samford could happen on those two dates or 9/8 or 11/3 as well.

Thats not a bad schedule.

[danefan]

Thats not a bad schedule.

We're seeing the outcome of the new NEC scheduling rule already. FBS games and Kate season FCS OOC games. When you can't schedule sub-DIs, that's basically what your left with.

I like it.

[aceinthehole]

Thats not a bad schedule.

That's an EXCELLENT schedule for Wagner!

The Seahawks open up with an FBS team (only the 2nd time for a NEC program). They also have a return game in D.C with Georgetown, and home game vs. Holy Cross.

BTW - I can't wait to hear the HC fans complain about the indignity of having to play in Staten Island as the road team vs. another NEC program. The following year they have to make the trip to New Britain to face CCSU. :)

[Lehigh Football Nation]

That Holy Cross add on 11/10 is interesting, as I had Holy Cross' schedule as complete. It completes the Crusader schedule, as I just verified that their 9/8 game against UMass was "replaced".

I've made this addition shortly as we're starting to get an idea of the NEC 2012 schedule now.

I would say yes. We host Pace on the 8th,Colgate on the 22nd and travel to Army on the 29th. Very good info we play at Syracuse on the 15th. So figure the 1st and a night game -6-maybe 7pm kickoff.

Except the BSo 1) has more OOC games to fill; and 2) they can balance D-II games with an FBS opponent, which the NEC usually can't

[danefan]

True on all points. I just don't see how a conference benefits from teams playing at Sub DI opponents. Even if it is balanced out with and FBS slaughter game.

[aceinthehole]

I agree with DF.

I understand many team want to play a D-II team at home every year, especially when you have a FBS game on the road to offset it. But playing a sub-DI team ON THE ROAD is unacceptable! I had the same problem when Wagner went and played at NY Maritime. If you are desperate for a game, fine play a non-DI game, but you can't play those games on the road.

[kdinva]

Shorter probably has the nicer stadium.

they do.........7000 seats, lights, SprintTurf field........

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Whats probably more disappointing about Chuck South's sched is that they have two sub D-I games. I can abide by one, but two is too many. Assuming a loss at FBS Illinois, they basically disqualify themselves for postseason unless they run the table in the Big South.

The Bucs have been added, and it seems like a mortal lock that Stony Brook @ Liberty will be on 11/10. Technically it could be on 10/20, still, but it looks like SBU's open date will be the last day of the season (unless SBU is planning a THIRD FBS opponent on that date :D )

Other dates look like Liberty @ Coastal on 10/27, G-W at Liberty on 10/20 (unscientific). Liberty needs one more OOC game it looks like, maybe a Kentucky Wesleyan situation.

GWU people are reporting GWU@SBU on 10/20 and GWU@Liberty on 10/6, that would make Liberty@Coastal on 10/27.

Which means they win the league AQ. SO they basically scheduled themselves out of any at-large consideration.

Just announced:


Feb. 1 is signing day in New Britain, and CCSUBlueDevils.com is your source for the most up-to-date signings for the 2012 Central Connecticut football season. Follow along all day as we update this page with the most recent National Letter of Intents received for next season.

In the morning we will bring you the nine names of student-athletes who enrolled with the Blue Devils for the spring semester.

We will then update this page throughout the day, and bring you the newest recruits for head coach Jeff McInerney and the 2012 Blue Devils.

At the end of the day we will sit down with head coach Jeff McInerney for a special Signing Day Edition of Open Mac, so he can update you on all of the signings, and what to expect from the Blue Devils this spring and in the fall of 2012.

The complete schedule will also be released on Wednesday. The Blue Devils will open the 2012 season on the road against former Northeast Conference foe and 2011 playoff participant Stony Brook on Saturday, Sept. 1st. http://ccsubluedevils.com/sports/fball/2011-12/releases/201201317eo066

[Lehigh Football Nation]

GWU people are reporting GWU@SBU on 10/20 and GWU@Liberty on 10/6, that would make Liberty@Coastal on 10/27.

This would add to Liberty's schedule

GWU@Liberty 10/6
Liberty@Coastal 10/27
SBU@Liberty 11/10

That leaves 9/29 or 10/20 for their final game, perhaps for a school like Kentucky Wesleyan.

Also, any confirmation on SBU@Syracuse on 9/15? Basically, if SBU releases their schedule, I think most of the Big South schedule can be figured out.

You go 9-2 with that schedule...and an at-large would be a possibility depending on who the two losses are too.

10-1 essentially wins the league...or an at-large w/o question.

[aceinthehole]

Very tough schedule for CCSU. I wonder if SBU or UNH are home-and-homes?

No, they are both "buy" games.

Lehigh is the front end of a home/home (we return the game to Bethlehem the following year). In 2013 we also host Holy Cross in the first of a home/home deal and head back down to Harrisonburg for another buy game at JMU.

That would appear to make the schedule:

And unless both Gardner-Webb and Coastal have OOC games or a bye week late in the season, it's Gardner-Webb@Coastal on 11/3.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

We're really close to play the "process of elimination" game with the NEC, but there's still multiple possibilities for games.

10/20: Possible league game involving Albany, Duquesne, or Sacred Heart
10/27: Possible league game involving Albany, Bryant, or Sacred Heart
11/3: Two probable league games involving Bryant, Duquesne, Robert Morris, Sacred Heart
11/10: Two probable league games involving Albany, Duquesne, Robert Morris, Sacred Heart

A Sacred Heart announcement might make the rest solvable.

Not even that many possibilities, if I figured it right:
Albany must play Robert Morris on 11/10
Bryant must play Duquesne 11/3
Albany must play Bryant 10/27
therefore Albany must play Duquesne 10/20
Albany and Sacred Heart both have open dates 9/8 for each other
Bryant plays RMU on 10/13
leaves Duq/SHU on 11/10 and RMU/SHU on 11/3 and Bryant/SHU 10/27

Sacred Heart has open dates 9/1 and 10/20 for one more possible non-conference game

Only home/away needs to be guessed, if they're all returns from last year, or any possible thursday/friday games.

http://www.fbschedules.com/2012/02/texas-am-replaces-mcneese-state-lousiana-tech-2012-football/

My sources at McNeese say that the $200K figure is way too low.

We were trying to get a game with ULL since Southern backed out of a verbal agreement with them but, reportedly, one of their "higher ups" (President or Head Coach) said "no way" and nixed the deal. Sounds like the Head Coach, imo.

The talk is that Lamar might end up in Lafayette because they lost their opening game with La. Tech, who Texas A&M bought out McNeese to play. After all of these musical chairs, it looks like McNeese is the one without a chair.

Doc

[Lehigh Football Nation]

The good news is that McNeese can fill an open date on 9/1 or 10/6, not too bad as open dates go.

The bad news is that the Pokes already have McMurry as a home game, and another sub-D-I would be a bitter pill to swallow.

Looks like my source was wrong. He was thinking the buyout fee was the same as the game guarantee but it was less at $200K.

Doc

[McNeese72]

Ok, and the latest word was that the contract with ULL was written up and ready for signatures, but ULL's Head Coach nixed it saying that he wasn't playing McNeese. We are stuck with $200K in our hand but no game to play.

Sucks,

There are actually 13 teams in the Big Sky and the Inter-conference OOC games have already been scheduled. I believe nearly every team has scheduled two OOC games from within the conference membership.

Breakdown:
Each team will play 8 conference games
Most will play one OOC games within membership
Most will play one FBS team
Most will play one FCS OOC game

FOLLOW-UP: Difficult to remember 13 teams X 11 games. Just went to Conference site and copied the schedule. Tried to post the pic, but it's not view-able. Looks like 6 teams still have a DII on the schedule and a few have two FBS teams on their schedule:

It is the same as it has been. 8 conference games and 3 O.O.C.


All Big Sky teams will continue to play eight conference games with four at home and four on the road. Each
team will have two “rivals” it will play each season. Over the course of the four years, each Big Sky team will
play each other a minimum of two times.

You are correct in that you can schedule a team from within the conference, not on your conference schedule, as an O.O.C. game. Actually, in theory a school could play an all Big Sky schedule.

And here's a couple from the Southland

Lamar http://www.kfdm.com/articles/highlight-47007-lamar-schedule.html

Nicholls State http://geauxcolonels.com/schedule.aspx?path=football

Northwestern State http://www.nsudemons.com/schedule.aspx?path=football

A lot of these announcements flying under the radar around here because so many OOC games are against FBS or sub-D1!

What is up with Lamar's schedule? They list 11 games, and don't include McNeese at the end, though the head coach refers to the game in the release.

If I had to guess I'd say that they're dropping the 9/22 game against Langston, but geez, what a messed-up release.

Because they are playing at Hawaii they get 12 games. They have McNeese on November 17th. It's "Rivalry Week" in the SLC

Also let's not forget they called Lousiana-Lafayette a "FCS" school in the release. That's your quality Beaumont reporting.

Ohhhh yeah, thanks for reminding me of that! I forgot about that quirk. Not that the release reminded me.

Thanks to what's now known about the Southland, I can figure out the final Southland conference game is 11/3 (SeLa vs. SHSU).

http://www.college-sports-journal.com/index.php/conf-scheds-2012/southland-sched

The final piece of the puzzle are four teams with one open date apiece:

Central Arkansas (9/15 or 11/10)
McNeese State (9/1 or 10/6)
Sam Houston State (9/1 or 11/17)
Southeastern Louisiana (10/6 or 10/20)

Rumor has it Sam Houston is going to play Texas A&M on November 17th for a 650k payout...

UCA is supposed to announce a game for Sept. 15th. No one knows what it is. I wish I knew what teams, at all levels from NAIA to FBS, had openings.

Bryant is up: http://bryantbulldogs.com/sports/fball/2012-13/schedule

OOC with Marist, Maine and Bucknell

I know NDSU has 9/15 open as is looking for another game. However, they want it to be a home game and UCA already bought out a trip to UND for this year, so not sure it would happen as I'd assume they are looking for a home game as well.

Rumor is that McNeese has filled its schedule with a game with a team in Tennessee. Not at liberty to say which team, yet.
