Re: 8 days until schedule is released.
I think all of our conference games will start in October since we have an open week right now after Clemson and before ODU which could be the bye week

Re: 8 days until schedule is released.
Flip side of that coin is that we would only have one home game in September. I imagine App would prefer to play at home that week than have a bye.mtnjax wrote:I think all of our conference games will start in October since we have an open week right now after Clemson and before ODU which could be the bye week

Re: 8 days until schedule is released.
Given that those are three of our four SBC home games, it's certain that at least one will fall late in the season. And any of those three games could easily factor into the conference title race, or even decide it.moehler wrote:unless we have some unfortunate happen (injuries, knuckle heads doing something stupid and getting kicked off the team etc.) there is no reason for us and GS not to be in serious contention for the title. If I'm making the schedule for 6-10 months down the road, I'm going to do the smart thing, play the odds, and try to schedule the teams against each other I believe will be in contention late into the season. If we don't get GS late in the season, then there is not reason not to atleast get Ark State, ULL or maybe both in late Oct or Nov.

Re: 8 days until schedule is released.
Troy announced they're revealing their schedule at 11 am ET Friday, which means that's when the Sun Belt schedule is coming out at the same time. Looks like the AD's got it done quickly.

Re: 8 days until schedule is released.
Balancing preset OOC games with an exact mirror image of the 2014 season is probably one of their easier tasks.T-Dog wrote:Troy announced they're revealing their schedule at 11 am ET Friday, which means that's when the Sun Belt schedule is coming out at the same time.

Re: 8 days until schedule is released.
I am more excited about this upcoming season than any in recent memory. The best home schedule by far. I just hope App fans" expectations as well as my on aren't too high and we are disappointed. I would love a SunBelt Conference Championship but if I get to attend a post season bowl game I will be elated. GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!

T-Dog posted ULM's sked on the Belt board and we play them in Monroe on Oct 17. And their final SBC game is on Dec 5.

Re: 8 days until schedule is released.
There's one less weekend to play games this year. Technically we had three byes last year (including the final week). There will be only two this year, but I expect the league to play a slate of games on December 5th as every other league will have a conference title game so the number of overall games will be limited.
Re: 8 days until schedule is released.
We should play on that day anyway...there are fewer games to compete with in regards to TV slots, and the Thanksgiving holiday doesn't interfere.T-Dog wrote:There's one less weekend to play games this year.

Re: 8 days until schedule is released.
By my count we have two games on 5 days of rest, that doesn't sound good for us

Re: 8 days until schedule is released.
I am stoked for the two Thursday games, especially the opponents. Awesome. Good job Sun Belt. Go Apps!
