so are we looking at a short term wait for an announcement or is this more long term. You guys kill me with all this witholding info! makes me check the board every day :

[bradyfan]

I'll wait for the announcement. This sounds cool.

[Purple Haize]

I'll spill the beans. We are playing a home and home with..
VIRGINIA university of lynchburg

[BJWilliams]

lol...oh Im pretty sure its a LOT bigger than that Haize...

[LUGrad2000]

Better than say a home and home with Appt State?

[flameshaw]

ND?

[R i]

We are actually Playing WestVirginia, Uconn, South Florida, Loisville....

[soccer7]

Ri, that is what my thoughts were as well....I guess we can have our moment of hope until the BIG announcement is made:)

[jcmanson]

I highly doubt this has anything to do with conference realignment.

[R i]

I miss the high frequency of these types of posts on this board. "I know something you dont know", always brings out the best posts on both sides. It use to happen very frequently around here. I miss it.

[Chris Lang]

Sorry if that came off as a tease. On my end, there's just no value to reporting on future games until the contracts are actually signed.

[Sly Fox]

I highly doubt this has anything to do with conference realignment.

Perhaps not directly but I'd wager it does indirectly as fallout from schedule changes occurring everywhere right now in light of conference moves.

[bradyfan]

Ahhh, crap. I had hoped that this meant LU was out of the Big-South but from reading more posts, sounds like it's just about putting a big name on the schedule. (which is still cool) Does anyone have a time-line on when the announcement will be made?

Too long. It seems like Liberty takes a long time to post their schedule.

[Chris Lang]

Paul R. says he'll tell me when the deal is done. I usually catch up with him on Saturdays before he heads into the radio booth. So if it's done this week, it'll be in the Sunday notebook. If not, it won't.

[RVAparks]

I know we do have a home and home with Richmond in 2013, 2014. I think that's pretty cool.

Kind of was hoping we would of been on Charlotte's slate for their inaugural season. Would of been a nice home and home, and a nice road game for alumni.

[BiggAl57]

when do they usually come out with the schedule. I remember seeing them at the spring game in April.

[Chris Lang]

Full schedule is usually officially released sometime in January or February.

[BiggAl57]

Full schedule is usually officially released sometime in January or February.

Officially...ok when will we have an unofficial version

[Chris Lang]

When all of the contracts are in. They're not going to tell me anything on the record unless contracts are signed. Too much chance of things falling through and them having egg on their face. (And me having egg on mine if I report a rumor that ends up not happening.)

As manson pointed out, we know:

vs. Norfolk State
vs. Lehigh
@Wake Forest

And the six conference games ...
@CCU
@PC
@VMI

vs. SBU
vs. CSU
vs. GWU

The details for those other two non-league games are still being worked out. I can tell you that I don't think there will be a DII on the schedule, and that I'm fairly certain there will only be five home games next season.

[jcmanson]

Good news, but wow - surprised at the 5 home games. But that means the other game we don't know about should be against a solid team.

[RVAparks]

I guess when things are "finalized", Richmond released their schedule through 2016 on Monday. I wish we would do something similar.

Here is the UofR article if anyone is interested (it looks like they are trying to become part of the Big South, haha): http://www.richmondspiders.com/ViewArti ... =205317856

[bradyfan]

Please be Virginia Tech. I just saw that they don't have an FCS team for 2012 yet. Would love to go up to Blacksburg and pull a JMU.

[RVAparks]

I think Tech would just prefer to play ECU 6 times a year

[BJWilliams]

Chances are it isnt Tech...we already have a FBS game (Wake Forest) on the schedule and I dont think we want to chance being 0-2 out the gate
