2025 SCHEDULE
12 Games. We scheduled 12 games this year. Are we allowed to schedule 12 a year from now on?

I'm saying this from memory without looking, but I think the way the calendar falls in 2024 and 2025 both meet the 12 game parameters (it has something to do with the first games in August)Davemeister wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2024 12:56 pm

So, while we have proven now that is hard to know what a team is going to look like from year to year... I like this schedule.
First and most important is we do not play the payday game at the first of the. I personally believe this was really bad this year with a team full of so many young guys. It probably had a major impact on their confidence and just the difference between Ole Miss and Chs. So. was so immense... It's just not a good set up. Getting Clemson so late is a major plus because we will either end on that game or have one after, and either way our SoCon situation will likely be sorted. And, Dabo generally likes to empty his bench early in these games, especially against in state schools, and that will help keep it reasonable (although he has less of a bench to empty with new roster limits).
Second, I like getting W&M at home. We may actually be able to visually see the game. And PC and NCA&T should be wins. As a comp, NCA&T lost 45-7 to W&M at home and are presently 1-10 I think.
So, OOC we CAN go 3-1 and should go 2-2 at worst, but I think we beat W&M at home so go 3-1.
Love having Citadel at home. Samford is the longest road trip, 5:30 by bus. All the other road trips are very reasonable from a travel standpoint which I think helps the team (we flew to W&M, bused back overnight from Ole Miss).
UTC and Western on the road may be the toughest games again. If we can go 3-1 in the OOC, win the home games, Samford and BEAT WOOFORD, and split with UTC and Western on the road, we probably win the SoCon or a share of it.
WHO SAYS I CAN'T BE OPTIMISTIC.
