Great move by both programs to move quickly and get the game scheduled. Any insight into why Mercer agreed to go on the road?

* Mercer has 6 home games already.
* UGA, GT, GaSou, & GaSt ALL @ Home on 9/7.
* For whatever reason, PC wanted a Home game & a 12th game bad enough to make it worthwhile for the Bears to bus up to Clinnon next Sat. $$

Maybe Furman is in the process of negotiating with Stetson to go to DeLand on 10/12/19, whereby we would be able to have a 12th game. Or maybe we would be able to get Stetson to come to Paladin Stadium in 10/12/19, whereby we would have a 12th game and a 7th home game. Both Furman and Stetson have a bye on 10/12/18.
It appears Stetson now has only 4 away games and still has 7 home games, even with the Stetson-PC cancellation.

We already have 12 games and I can’t imagine we would want to move our bye (and drop Point) to pick up Stetson, who royally screwed us last year.

I made a mistake, and I apologize for that. I was counting only 11 this year, including Point. I counted wrong. How did Stetson royally screw us last year? Were we trying to get them to play us in place of our cancelled game with Colgate?

Yes.
