I'm not doubting you at all. I was just saying it's weird that we had two people say it and it changed.

[Stevev]

Nice to see that we are not playing carson newman. You don't gain anything by playing a div 2 team even though they are a good one. We need to keep the 2 remaining games to be scheduled in the 1AA ranks at least. I have no idea what the possibilities are right now since App State and Hampton are a no go. I know we have Elon, W&M, Toledo, and North Greeville as definates so there are 2 open dates.

[SuperJon]

The chances of getting more I-AAs at this point is slim to none. All of the local ones are full those weeks. The only way we'd get I-AAs at the beginning of the season is to go out to North Dakota State or something like that, and the cost of that is just crazy.

[Stevev]

We used to play Cal Poly a few years back and also Southwest Texas. Sometime you have to be willing to travel long distance. Not something you want to get in a habit of doing too much of due to the cost but necessary sometimes.

[Cider Jim]

Who's E&M?

[LU'sbestmanager]

i had the same question but didn't want to ask because people on here are so quick to make fun.

[Stevev]

I corrected it

[Schfourteenteen]

Well is it even possible to get a FBS school??? Like 3 D-II's just looks really really bad

We already have Toledo on the schedule.

[Stevev]

I think Toledo is already figured in the equation. Still with 2 open dates there is a possiblilty that we could be playing 3 div 2 teams. The schedule is starting to look like Chuck South's

[BJWilliams]

Not to mention there don't seem to be any really good games for the band to travel to (How about a trip to scenic Toledo, OH)

[PAmedic]

from what I hear we're going to have to be happy w/ Toledo (possibly a winnable game?) , only 2 D IIs and a weak FCS late-addition to round out our established schedule.

Better than 3 D IIs I suppose, and merely a building block in efforts to continually improve our schedule.

besides, in case anyone forgot- theres NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT ANYWAY

lets get ready to support these guys no matter WHO they play.

[SuperJon]

Um, Elon and W&m are pretty good games to travel to. They're 3hrs or less.

[BJWilliams]

I'll mention that to Dr Kerr. We're beginning the process of preparing for the 2007 band season so I'm sure he is considering one or both of those (and the Toledo game)

[SuperJon]

I highly doubt he's considering a 9-10 hour drive.

Dr. Kerr is from Ohio, so any trip towards home, I'm sure he'd jump at. I once helped him chaperone a trip to Youngstown State, where we had to sit in the rain for 3 hours because the stadium had a policy against umbrellas; I ended up buying one of their orange YSU ponchos that had penguins (their mascot) all over it, tryng my best to stray dry during an Ohio thunderstorm.

About travelling to Elon, I went to an away game there several years ago, and they were literally playing on a high school field; does anyone know if they have their own stadium now?

[SuperJon]

I was there in 2005. Their stadium is pretty nice. It's not big by any means, but it's. It's comparable to Coastal.

I know I was actually referring to maybe another one. Although it may sound crazy and probably wouldnt work itd be much better than what we had

Sly is closest but not quite right.

Western Carolina has two this year, playing at Georgia to open the season and at Alabama in the 3rd week. They're getting some good money, but no chance to win.

After closing out last season w/ Florida, perhaps the Cats are making overtures to join the SEC.

[SuperJon]

Presby in Week 4 is going to look like a middle school team to them.

Florida week 12 last year, Georgia week 1, Alabama week 3, Presby week 4.


One of these is not like the others...

oh now THAT is a good one

[Sly Fox]

SJ with the Big Bird reset. I have to admit I didn't see that coming.

[Sly Fox]

This comes as absolutely no shock, but here is your confirmation on our season opener from the Knoxville fishwrap:

Tusculum to start '07 on road

By News Sentinel staff
February 20, 2007

Tusculum College will open the 2007 football season with three consecutive road games.

The 11-game game schedule released Monday includes five home games.

The Pioneers will start the season Aug. 25 at the University of Charleston (W.Va.). It will be the first meeting between the schools.

On Sept. 1, Tusculum will play another first-time opponent, traveling to Lynchburg, Va., to face Division I-AA Liberty University. A week later, the Pioneers will wrap up their three-game road swing at North Alabama.
