Here is what I can gather:

Home
Coastal
Presbyterian
VMI

Away
Gardner-Webb
Charleston Southern
Kent State
Richmond
Norfolk State


The question I have is will we try to schedule Stony Brook for 2013 as a non-conference or not. Its also a 12 game season next year if memory serves.

No Montana's return is 2015. Do we have JMU in 13? If so Sweet. We win that Kent game.

JMU was pushed to 13 so they could play at FedEx Field if I remember correctly

That's a pretty solid road schedule. I'm assuming that means we go with 1 walkover for homecoming and 2 quality home opponents if we can get them in here. I would love to see us try to schedule in a MVC or OVC opponent for a home game.

Liberty owes JMU a game but it's not 2013. i think JMU schedule is already filled.

looking at the MVFC, probably the best bets would be ISU Red (Illinois State) ISU Blue (Indiana State) Southern Illinois, Western Illinois and Youngstown State. From the OVC, Id probably target either UT-Martin, Tennessee Tech, EKU (who we last played in 2002), Eastern Illinois or Murray State. Jacksonville State would probably want us to come there first and the rest of the teams (Tennessee State, Austin Peay and SE Missouri State) wouldnt do a ton for us even if we did beat them.

They have FBS, Alcon State, CCSU and Saint Francis for their OCC schedule (3rd page). Liberty owes a game which i think will be played in '14 when JMU contract with SFU and CCSU are up and when Liberty gets Richmond at home, so they don't have more away games then home.

I am under the impression that 2014 is the 12 game year.

Love those future matchups. Great exposure from the WVA/VPI games and really good FCS programs in the mix.

if that's the case then all we gotta do is fill out our home slate with some good (and winnable) games

I never heard him say that. What I heard him say was that there was no good reason for them to schedule us anymore. But I don't believe there has been anything public about buying out the last game.

Yeah, two top 25 FCS programs that are a few hours apart in the same state , should not play each other. :roll:

Micky is scared.

Any chance we try to get Delaware, Maine or some of the mid-level CAA teams in addition to looking at teams from the MVFC and/or OVC?
