Edited to update schedule

Intriguing matchup. When I saw it orginally I yawned but then I saw they were 16-7 and playing well as of late.  I'm also a big fan of the 7pm start time. That should be sibs weekend correct? Sounds like another good opportunity to get the Convo good and packed again.

It really doesn't help anybody but the top 4 seeds. Maybe.
