All games on Wednesdays and Saturdays, which is different than last year. That will make some people happy.

FINALLY! A Saturday home game against Akron. Has it ever happened before? I've never seen it happen before. For those of you on the O Zone board, you guys should bus up to Akron and own the AK-nerdies at the JAR. You should also invite them down to the Convo since that game is a Saturday as well.

I like the fact that WMU and Ball State two of the stronger West schools are coming to the Convo to play.

Having Ball State, WMU and CMU at home this year should be an advantage.  That could be the difference in the  seedings come March. They key is winning the home games and home to pick up some road wins at Toledo, EMU and NIU.  6-0 vs the west and get a road win over BGSU and split vs Kent st, Miami, Akron and Buffalo would get us 12-4 in the MAC which might win the east or get atleast a top 4 seed.

It's happening.  Both are happening.  I remember talking to some Fear the poo Rowdies at the football game @Infocision a couple years ago...  They want to come here in a bad way.  We will own them.

Good deal. It looks like the only feasible football roadtrip is @Akron, too.

Looking at the MAC schedule, it is paramount that the team takes care of business in January instead of waiting until mid-February to start getting hot. With seeds 5-12 receiving a tough road to the championship and finishing with Akron, Kent, and Miami, two of which are on the road, it is important that we put ourselves in good contention leading up to those games.

I gotta admit, I am a fan of the Wednesday and Saturday consistency.  Plus selfishly they are both good days for me.  Can't wait for the season!

As am I.  Since I will finally have a real job, those Saturday games are great!

Best schedule yet for me. Lets see how the webcasts from England time out against the schedule and I may be the happiest I have ever been.

I definitely like the move back to Wed-Sat. 

Man do we need to start hot in January and win all those home games.
