Only saw a thread for 2005 I-A games, so apologies for creating a new thread. But according to a reliable poster on Furman's fan site, Coach Lamb recently said we will play in Chapel Hill in 2006. Maybe they think they've improved enough to avoid a repeat of the 1999 game (28-3 FU).

If so, this might be a very direct result of the 12th I-A game.

Rumors are circulating about a GSU trip to the Orange Bowl Stadium in 2006.

That one has been squashed.

Good luck to Furman. UNC is a great venue and we had a blast there last year. Attendance was 43,500. We took several buses and they parked us in front of the Dean Dome, which is a healthy walk from the stadium but a good place to tailgate. Parking for cars was even further. They did have a handicapped shuttle for some of our older folks. The traffic sucked.

Well damn.

I sensed that deal beginning to fall through. Shoud've followed up on that. Last time I heard it was "tentative".

If you guys do play UNC then Im sure you will do the SoCon well. To bad this wasnt this season when you guys look to be stacked.

Our AD recently stated in a newspaper article that either Furman or JSU can cancel or delay a game for a I-A game. So the topic must be coming up recently.

I doubt it would be canceld. More likely delayed. We played at McNeese two years ago then we played UGA last year. Because we had the I-A last year our series skipped a year and we host McNeese this year.
