I know our schedule hasn't officially been announced yet, but I saw this on Coach Foster's twitter, wondered what you guys thought.

Just appears to be the teams we are playing this year....not in the correct order

My first thought was, "Sheesh, couldn't we find a recent photo of Michigan Stadium?" And my second thought was that I like it, as long as it serves its purpose to motivate the guys, in the weight room I assume.

And my third thought was as to why we couldn't take 10 seconds and make sure we had all of the universities logos up-to-date and correct? I know this is nit-picky but I'd prefer to think that schools we are playing are no longer employing the use of the Gorton's Fisherman.

And for god's sake, "towards" instead of "toward"? This is America, dammit!

I know the schedule is supposed to be released around March 1st, but I wonder does anybody have any hints of the dates for sunbelt games?

I'm most curious about our Black Saturday opponent. That is a sacred day.

Every Saturday is black Saturday.

Campbell - opening game

1st Sun Belt home game will be family day, I'd like to have ULM or Idadho this game

Liberty - homecoming

Black Saturday - I'd like to have USA, but believe it will be the last home game in October.

Our home schedule in 2015 is going to be very good:

Southern Miss
GSU
ULL
Ark St.
Troy
FCS program

Do you feel confident that Liberty will be homecoming?

We typically schedule easier opponents and games in which there is less of a draw in late September early October.

I'd say 80%.

I try to secure a house early for a large group. I understand your points. My concern is that Liberty could potentially bring a larger following than perhaps Idaho should they be scheduled say 10-4 or 10-18.

Unless the non-conference is changed, the week of September 13th will be our first bye week. All of our SBC opponents have non-conference games that weekend.

And unlike FCS where we have only one bye week, we'll have three in FBS for 2014. After that it goes back to two due to the calendar. And if there's a 12th member and a conference championship added to the final week, we'll be back to having only one.

I wonder if we'll have a mid week home game?

Could you imagine a schedule like Wofford's next year?

Home: North Greenvile, Jacksonville, VMI, Mercer, and Citadel.

Away: Furman, Chattanooga, Georgia Tech, Samford, G-Webb, and WCU.

I didn't know what Liberty's logo was, and I'm guessing that this isn't an official poster that is being distributed (could be wrong). Looks quite basic and just done on-the-fly. Assuming that's the case, it's probably not worth worrying about.

Certainly nothing worth worrying about.

We might need to rethink leaving the SoCon...

Will the kickoff times and TV coverage also be announced when the Sun Belt announces the conference schedule, or will some of that be determined later?

Two points here. In this case it was created by a coach for a coach and it was a VERY quick deal and intended for motivation for the players....and they (players) don't even care if the logo is right.

Point 2: That being said. I am VERY hopeful that this is exactly what the "new" marketing position gets a handle on. Just based on a little peek inside. We need to really assess what we do and how that might be "re-organized" for efficient and productive work to be done within the Athletic and Yosef, organizations.

WLOS out of Asheville had a story yesterday about the end of the App/Can't "Rivalry" and they were still using the flying head logo. Hopefully, with the conference change everyone will update their logos to the block A.
