From Mr Bowman

App State will soon announce home-and-home series' against two opponents from Conference USA and one from the MAC. One will begin in 2014.

My guesses for C-USA are Marshall and Old Dominion. MAC, either Akron or Toledo. Go App!

Pretty good guesses...I'd also throw in one of the F_U's for CUSA.

I'm guessing ODU or UNCC from CUSA and one of the Michigan schools from MAC.

Marshall's OOC schedule is filled through 2018. The only way it's them is if they drop somebody else to play us, or if the announcement is for a series beyond 2018.

C-USA is either going to be ODU and/or UNCC.

My guess for the MAC series is Ohio U.

That would be a nice road trip to face Solich and the Bobcats.

Good catch. I'm good with ODU. Would prefer MTSU or WKU to UNCC.

Could someone remind us (me) which SB teams we have home/away next season ---

I'm guessing FIU and WKU from CUSA and Ohio from the MAC.

I would hope we'd set our sites a little higher than UNCcc. They won't even be FBS in 2014.

Ball State could very likely be the MAC team. Marshall, ODU, or Middle Tennessee from the C-USA. Just my thoughts.

Home: GASt, ULM, USA & Idaho
Away: Troy, GSU, ULL, ASU

Don't play NMSU or TX St. The conference did App no favors with the scheduling in the inaugural Sun Belt schedule. GSU got a much more favorable schedule as they get to avoid both ASU and ULL.

If this teams finishes .500 or better next season in conference, I'd be ecstatic! IMO, no easy road games with really only GSU being winnable at this point which means this team needs to go 3-1 at home with ULM being the only loss.

If it's Ball State, our QB better watch their knees with Lembo coaching

Selfishly I'm hoping for Toledo. It also makes a lot of sense given Satterfield's connection to the school. Same with FIU. Wouldn't be shocked if those were two of the 3. I also suspect ODU is on that list.

From a coaching standpoint I'd want FAU and FIU home and home in alternating years so Ponce and Spivey can dig into the fertile recruiting grounds of FL. This will give the FL kids' families a couple of chances to see them play.

As a fan, I'd like (in no particular order) USM, MTSU, WKU, NIU, Ohio, Marshall and ODU. Once UNCC gets in FBS and expands their stadium, get them on the schedule due to close proximity and the media buzz that could be created from what I perceive to be a mutual hatred between the fan bases.

You might be right, but I bet that UNC-Harrisburg won't play us until Judy Girl feels they have enough experience in FBS to hang with us. Of course, at the present, seems almost anyone in FCS could hang with us much the less FBS. But, that could change sooner than later.

would be shocked if one of the teams is UNCC, Judy made it clear she doesn't want anything to do with us for the next 3-5 years. Old Dominion is the most likely choice. Since I live in South Florida would love one of the teams to be either FAU or FIU.

The coaching staff at UNCC has been rumbling about playing ASU to a couple of kids that we "recruited" but did not offer that they have playing for them.....so I would not be surprised to see UNCC on that list.

I would love to have OHIO on the schedule. It is a great drive, great school, and a serious party town! It would be a fun place to go and play.

I would not be surprised to see any of the following, ODU, to get back in the tidewater area for recruiting, any of the FLA schools for recruiting, and I just have a feeling about Southern Miss or the like.

EXCITING!

Would love for us to have a H & H with SoMiss. Good history but have not won a game this year or last, but won the CUSA championship year before that.

GaSo just signed a H &H with Western Michigan. WMU just won their first game this year by one point when UMass fail to convert a 2 pointer at the end of the game last week.

Middle Tennessee or WKU would both be convenient for travel and good selling point for getting H & H's.

we might only need to look at Cobb to maybe get an hint on who we play, he has said in the past he preferred to play teams in our region that were easy travel for our fans.

If we're being truly selfish here, I'm hoping it is UTSA! If it is, that is a road trip all of you should make. They play downtown in the Alamodome and the Riverwalk is legendary!
