According to Arkley, final details being worked out for series with the Herd, '15 and '18 in Athens, '16 and '17 in Huntington. Saul doesn't expect full OOC (13 games) again this year. OOC so far-

Home-
#136 FGCU
#234 UC Riverside
#295 Marshall

Neutral-
#46 Tulsa + 2 (Paradise Jam)

Road-
#121 St. Bonaventure



Expect one more road game (hopefully H/H series) and 3 more home games.

we keep heading back to Olean. Yuccccch. Pitiful gym....think Anderson up at BG. 4 overtimes .....ackkk. Microtel is the only place decent (using the term loosely) near campus. Did find a pretty good restaurant on the other end of town though. Got to be a better place to send the Bobs. Looooong bus trip fo sho. Newcomers gonna love that one. Hope they see Bob lanier's shoes right next to the basketball with COach Rhodes autograph on it.

Scheduling is such a fun thing to talk about. I like playing St. Bonnie from a competition standpoint, but I could sure think of other places that would be better from a road trip stand point.

One school I think might be good to have visit soon could be NKU in terms of geography. Their move to the Horizon should be good for them, and their RPI in the long run.

I'm really glad to see the Marshall series renewed. I look forward to it every year, and frankly wish they were still part of The MAC.

If you're into skiing, make it a trip that includes Holiday Valley.

Happy to see Marshall back on the schedule. To me it's such a no brainer. I notice in the article he mentioned the current football series is coming to an end after this and there is no word on the future of the series. Did I miss something? I thought there would be a 3 year break in the series and then OU and Marshall start a 4 year home and home series. Did I dream that?

Glad to see this match-up back in the mix, I agree with Saul's quotes.

I talked about NKU a while back. With their conference move they should elevate the program. And, if XU and UC aren't gonna play us, it gives alums in cincy a chance to see the bobcats. And, it would also help any recruiting we do in cincy. I say go for it!
