Nothing unusual about playing in Boston in the middle of the season.
Our young DBs are going to have a handful with Texas Tech then Tony Franklin's offense in back to back weeks!
Terrible schedule.
** Anybody on this board could schedule 5 home games with crappy teams like that.
** And I'm fairly certain most of us could schedule those 7 road games too.
** The Ark game is the only one that a college freshman might have trouble scheduling. Of course, it was initially scheduled for Little Rock, but our AD gave that leverage away for reasons unknown.
I'm just not happy with T-Mac's scheduling. He's perhaps the worst scheduler we'ver ever had at LA Tech. And "ever" covers a long time. This schedule really sucks.
** 4 of the 5 home games our CUSA scheduled
** 4 of our 7 road games our CUSA scheduled
I personally will love seeing a game with our Dawgs at Fayetteville, Arkansas. I've never been in that stadium.
I personally will LOVE watching our Dawgs in Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, MA (near Boston) during the awesome leaf color changing time of the year.
The only one that sucks IMHO is playing Texas Tech Lubbock, Texas in the middle of nowhere'sville.
Your perfect AD did that to us.
He also did the Boston deal which is just crazy. Only people with HD and Tylertechsas money can afford to make that trip, but then y'all are the only Tech fans our AD and his shadow Marco care about .
Back to back home games. We got five home games and he can't get keep us from having back to back? He is totally inept at scheduling .
For perspective on the UMass deal, it sucks, but somehow they worked the exact same deal with MSU, who has a better AD.
MD you are better then that my man. A class warfare dig?? Really?
BTW, the alumni trips in the past have been incredibly well organized and are not that expensive as you really aren't gone for that long and are traveling in a sizable group. It's also a way to meet new 'Tech Family" friends.
And for you MD, I guess a way to meet new clients helping raise your income base so you can go every year.
what does the 2017 schedule look like?
cause the 2016 schedule is not very sexy.
I'm surprised we're not UMass's Homecoming game, we barely missed out on that..
I'm excited for UMASS game, but only because my wife is from the cape and we are going to take her family to their first Tech game. We spend two weeks every summer up there and it will be beautiful in the fall.
