This is what we have so far:

@ Wake Forest
vs Lehigh
vs Norfolk State

vs Stony Brook
vs Charleston Southern
vs Gardner Webb
@ Coastal
@ Presby
@ VMI - 11/17

Leaves us with 2 openings, of course we want 1 of the 2 to be home games to get us to 6 home games for the year.

Hate to say it, but if we've got 2 spots left, it'll probably be a D2 :cry:

I don't care if we have to play a dismal 1AA team. Just let it count towards our eligibility.

Well I was talking to a couple folks from McNeese and those folks would be interested in playing us. Now if they have an opening for 2012 is the question

I think getting a 2 for 1 with someone like Campbell would be good. Better than a d2. I'd even be fine with a home and home with Georgetown.

Just no d2's!

It would be nice to clobber Elon again and their goofy Phenix crowing noise. SoCon should be considered.

If chaos breaks out in realignment then it will be a free-for-all of schools reworking their schedules.

Unless there is some recent news to the contrary 2012 is supposed to be the last game in the series for the foreseeable future

Because of them playing WVU @ FedEx they've asked us to agree to move it back to an undetermined date at this time. I wouldn't be surprised if they bought themselves out of it altogether.

But no, we will not be playing them in 2012.

I believe I've heard from both schools that it was moved to 2013.

EDIT: Nevermind. Googled it. Those are just rumors.

You would think that would be the case, but who knows. 2013 is a long ways away when talking about scheduling with all the chaos going on.

EDIT: now that I think about it, I doubt LU would want to schedule @ JMU in 2013. We already have @ Kent St and @ Richmond lined up to go along with 3 conference road games. AD Barber has always stated he wants AT LEAST 6 home games per year. So, it may be 2014 before we get @ JMU back on the schedule, if then.

Anyways, would be nice to hear we're playing a CAA/SOCON in place of JMU.

Chris lets us know we play Norfolk State at the Bill. Is this a home and home?

Also Lang states 2012 is a 12 game schedule, I was under the impression that was in 2014. Can anyone confirm?

Anymore grumblings on next year's schedule?

I saw a VMI fan posted the LU @ VMI game is the season finale on 11/17

1. There's a big grumbling that I can't really talk about yet. I'll have it whenever it's finalized.

2. I goofed, and it is only an 11-game schedule in 2012. I thought it was a 12-game schedule every four years.

I really wish we would put App St., GA Southern or ODU on the schedule. These are all schools looking to move up and I think it helps our chances if we could win one of these. I know that next year is supposed to be a re-building year but I expect Tyler Brennan to have a breakout season. He's always been the better QB in my opinion. I don't know why we waste our time with these DII teams. Also, it's sad that JMU doesn't want to renew that rivalry. That game always feels bigger than the made-up, "Coastal" rivalry.

I think if what Chris is saying is correct (and I think he's probably the most credible person on these matters outside of Sly), you will be VERY happy with whatever this pending announcement is about cj
