I'm saying this from memory without looking, but I think the way the calendar falls in 2024 and 2025 both meet the 12 game parameters (it has something to do with the first games in August)

So, while we have proven now that is hard to know what a team is going to look like from year to year... I like this schedule.

First and most important is we do not play the payday game at the first of the. I personally believe this was really bad this year with a team full of so many young guys. It probably had a major impact on their confidence and just the difference between Ole Miss and Chs. So. was so immense... It's just not a good set up. Getting Clemson so late is a major plus because we will either end on that game or have one after, and either way our SoCon situation will likely be sorted. And, Dabo generally likes to empty his bench early in these games, especially against in state schools, and that will help keep it reasonable (although he has less of a bench to empty with new roster limits).

Second, I like getting W&M at home. We may actually be able to visually see the game. And PC and NCA&T should be wins. As a comp, NCA&T lost 45-7 to W&M at home and are presently 1-10 I think.

So, OOC we CAN go 3-1 and should go 2-2 at worst, but I think we beat W&M at home so go 3-1.

Love having Citadel at home. Samford is the longest road trip, 5:30 by bus. All the other road trips are very reasonable from a travel standpoint which I think helps the team (we flew to W&M, bused back overnight from Ole Miss).

UTC and Western on the road may be the toughest games again. If we can go 3-1 in the OOC, win the home games, Samford and BEAT WOOFORD, and split with UTC and Western on the road, we probably win the SoCon or a share of it.

WHO SAYS I CAN'T BE OPTIMISTIC.

SoCon Schedule announced

9/27 @Samford
10/4 ETSU
10/11 @ WCU
10/18 @ Wofford
10/25 The Citadel
11/1 Mercer
11/8 @ UTC
11/15 VMI

According to FBSchedules, our other games are...

8/30 W&M
9/6 PC (no date given but guessing this is the date)
9/13 @ Campbell
11/22 @ Clemson

That would mean out bye would be very early on 9/20. Looks like we replaced A&T with Campbell. Not sure what happened with the A&T game but I may have missed it.

@ Campbell - Good times!

They have (or had in 2013) a live camel (may have a pic or 2 to add) and easy access to the only REAL barbecue - the Eastern NC style!!!

Playing an FBS game the last week of the season is for the birds.

Don't hate the fact that we don't go further than Cullowhee for a month starting the first week in October.

Looks like bellhops or Mercer for Homecoming.

Except there are no baked beans at the eastern N.C. bbq joints.

As the Lord wills BBQ joints to abstain from such blasphemous practices.

Really surprised with all the changes. We were originally scheduled to open wirh PC and W&M was second. Those 2 have flipped. The NC A&T game was a return game so surprised that game was cancelled. I assume Campbell is a one time thing as our ooc is full for the next 2 years. ‘26 & ‘27.

Kind of hate the early road game in Birmingham but man even our road games are Uber rides for the most part after that.

And I hear you The Jackal but I would MUCH rather play that FBS game at the end of the year than the beginning. I think that Ole Miss game had an impact on the psyche of this very young team. We will know who are are and be confident in it by the time we go to Pickens County and what happens there should have no real impact on the team.

Just an FYI Campbell’s stadium seats 5500, looks very similar to PC.

Looking back, most of our Samford contests are in the first two weeks of October, so the last week of September isn't too far off.

The earliest we played Samford was in week 1 on September 1, 2012. Furman lost that game 24-21.

I went back through that box score. I forgot how garish some of the stat lines were from the Bruce Fowler years. Our QB that day (Dakota Derrick) was 11-25 with 3 interceptions.
