2018-19 Schedule

[tya1]

UNC opens at Woffy, then travels to Elon. Who says that UNC and Duke won't play true road games LOL.

at what cost?

Elon is opening a new arena this coming season. UNC will be the first game. UNC also opened for UNC-Asheville and App. State when they had new buildings. Obviously they won't open at Wofford but it will be the first time they have played there. (Maybe the last.) If Zion Williamson had signed with UNC this would be the homecoming game for him.

South Carolina was supposed to open Timmons Arena and did play one of the earliest games there. The Gamecocks were the second game in College of Charleston's current building and opened up Wofford's new place last year.

I don't think money is always the prime consideration for scheduling.

Looks like as long as Brownellis coach at Clempson we won't be playing them.

Maybe now that he's signed a lucrative new contract we have a chance to get him to agree to schedule us....

FYI- The start of the season has been moved up from Friday to Tuesday this year. First games are now on Nov. 6th, vs. Nov. 10th last season. The NCAA approved the move to allow more time for pre-conference games. Remember when it was after Thanksgiving when the season started?

Dunno, but I think we would be pretty excited if UNC or Duke were coming to Timmons. Don't know if you can put a price on the positives WC will get for hosting UNC.

Would like to see a game at the "well" this season against a "name" opponent but doubt that will happen. Thought we would get to have a game there with the new agreement. Still waiting.

The Citadel's schedule is out. We play them here on Saturday, Jan. 5th, and go to their place on Thursday, Jan 31st.

Their SoCon season opening game is on Dec. 1st against Mercer. I assume the rest of the teams have a conference game at the same time.

The Bulldogs have money games at Clemson and at Texas. They play three (3) non D1 games. In fact I don't think those teams are even D2.

Where do we stand with our schedule? Seems later than usual this year, heck the students arrive on campus in under 3 weeks, the Season Ticket pitch began over a week ago and no schedule. One must wonder why you would begin a ticket sales campaign without any knowledge of the schedule. Would love to hear from anyone with insight.

I haven't seen really much of anyone announce a full schedule yet ... most of the big schools announce non-conference only around now, but I don't think that we do that usually. Last year the full schedule was announced Aug. 23. I'm sure it will happen soon.

Schedule might be out this week.

That's part of Rebranding Stage II. By definition, it must follow Rebranding Stage I.

Unless, of course, one went with the dreaded 1A designation.

"Rebranding" marked the change from the losing teams of the pre-Niko era.

No need to rebrand when you are winning and fighting for the championship on a consistent basis.

It was a GC strategy to boost interest in the program and there few were specific actions mentioned, however, one was to play some games downtown.

[CharlieFU]

Another move was to raise 1 MILLION dollars for the program. That aint nothing. Allowed kids to have foreign trip, which will be repeated in 2019.

Schedule might be out this week.

Then again, maybe not.
