A Wednesday & a Thursday on the road, but no Friday! Yeah.

Crap, no Miami for me.

All six home games on a Saturday. Only consecutive homes games are ODU and Miami. No Thanksgiving home game. Miami stays a Saturday. This should please most App fans.

Unfortunately, not out of the woods yet on Miami game. There is still one more ESPN game to be announced:

"Per the conference’s contractual agreement with ESPN, one more game involving a Sun Belt institution will be selected soon to be played on a Thursday or Friday and televised nationally on an ESPN network."

Probably going to be us. Other possibilities could San Diego State @ USA, Houston @ Texas State, UMass @ Troy, or Toledo @ Ark State.

Yes, the App State release makes it crystal clear in multiple places that the Miami date is not settled.

This one gets my vote. That'd be hilarious.

GS plays 4 straight road games before coming home to play us on a Thursday--Western Michigan, Ark State, Ga Tech, New Mexico State.

I love this schedule. Even if the Miami game moves to a Friday. The 6 hour drive I make one way is tough back to back weeks. Not having any back to back home games is a blessing for me.

9/10 v. ODU
9/17? v. Miami

Makes my 4 hr trips a little easier also, not having more than one back to back weekend.

I actually can't make the ODU game due to a prior commitment. ODU will be the only game I don't make. I was taking that into consideration with my post. Selfish of me

compared to last year, this is a great schedule, easy on the fans in terms of travel, and quality opponents. Hope they can keep Miami on a Sat schedule, if they do, I think Miami and App will bring more fans, maybe break 35 thousand, if a Friday night game, maybe 25 thousand.

Personally, I think Miami sells out either way.

EastHallApp · Unread post by **EastHallApp** » Thu Mar 03, 2016 4:15 pm

First reactions:

Good news: Miami still on Saturday for now.
Bad news: Nothing really decided there.

Good news: No weeknight home games for now.

Bad news: Have to travel to GaSo on a short week.
Good news: They're on the road the previous Saturday, and we're at home.

Good news: No Thanksgiving weekend home game

Good news: ULL game is on a bigger platform (ESPN2 vs. ESPNU), and probably with little to no football competition (MLB playoffs will be on, though).

Good news: Only two home games after Oct. 22 (i.e., minimal cold weather).

Love the schedule. Better than last year. Week night games make it hard for many people to make the trip.
Which game is homecoming?October 1 or 22?

I would think October 1, with Black Saturday the 22nd.

When will the final ESPN game be announced?

This is the BEST home schedule we've ever had, hands down. No holidays, no weekdays, and playing the U. Love it!
