Home Opener against South Carolina State

[inudesu]

Well, there is that game in an NFL stadium to be excited about.

And, you know, if we ever wanted to get UMASS in Ruston (did we?) then we obviously needed to play there whenever it was good for them.

Also got a 2 for 1 with Baylor with the first game being in Waco. THAT took some doing. Wonder how much Baylor will have to pay to buy out game 2.

We paid Southern $350K last year. Not sure how much we netted.

We paid NSU $150K in 2014. We probably did okay on that one not counting the fire works cost.

$325K for a scrimmage to open 2016 and our only OOC home game.

Fail by our AD.

This game will be a financial loss but the previous week matchup against Arkansas will more than cover it leaving a healthy overall gain. Need to look at the overall picture.

Overall picture is that we only have 5 home games and one of them is against an overpaid MEAC team. He nor you can justify this horrible business deal with a money game in Arkansas he did not get for us. To make it worse we are going to Boston for a home and home road game. HORRIBLE deal!

They have similar colors, so we may need to make it a REDOUT game!??

So I'm not the only one having a hard time getting excited about this year's home slate?

To be fair, one could argue that it's counterbalanced by the 7 home games (currently) scheduled for the following year.

But September 2017 sure seems looooong way off.

I see what you did here.

[LeggoDawgs]

Why not play a local FCS team that will actually bring a crowd instead of one in South Carolina!? Fail!

[T1]

Looks like we were in a bind for available teams and had to accept SC State's terms. Is there any way to find out what our options were?

[THEarmada]

Yeah very bad scheduling.

Let's just say it, TMac sucks at negotiations.

Fail by our AD.

Our AD probably got confused and thought he was getting NC State, but instead got SC State. LOL
