Is the App game a done deal? Is the ink dry?

All I know is that the broadcast crew said we were playing in Boone next year.

[BJWilliams]

I dont say this often but PH is right. My guess is that with Paul working in the football office he had to get permission before talking about it on the call of the game,

Or it slipped out

[BJWilliams]

Thats also possible PH...I dont think of Paul or AY as people who say things that aren't supposed to be said on the record

Do you know?

[BJWilliams]

Do I know about the game...no I don't. Im just speculating that Paul and AY had to get permission before talking on the record about it during the game on Saturday.

[SuperJon]

It's official.

[ludlpstudent]

Any idea on the date?

[LCA&LU Mom]

October 11

[Sly Fox]

That eliminates that date as a Homecoming possibility for those keeping score at home.

[BJWilliams]

I went ahead and made a 2014 Schedule thread with the UNC and App State dates filled in as long as that is AOK with you Sly

[Sly Fox]

It is fine as long as you do the legwork to figure out the Bryant & Richmond dates.

[BJWilliams]

Its been said that we need "signature wins" to be seriously considered. taking a look at the schedule even without all the dates being known, here are the non conference games that jump out at me:

Richmond at home
JMU on the road
UNC on the road
App State on the road

Don't forget Coastal Carolina, the only 2013 playoff/bowl team on the schedule.

Very funny...you do know I said non conference right?

Sorry I missed that BJ ..... just glanced at your list and noticed no 2013 playoff teams for us, accept Coastal in conference. The way UNC is coming on they might see a bowl. Hope they have a lot of SR graduation this year! Poor ODU.

[BJWilliams]

Looking at our home games, if the past years are any indication, we have 3 possibilities for homecoming: Monmouth, Charleston Southern and Gardner-Webb. also, we alternate home and away as far as finales go so II'd probably pencil CSU in there...
I believe the CAA plays 8 in conference so Richmond will probably be in that first 5 weeks (I'd guess the 20th with Brevard on the 13th and I think JMU on the 27th, although the MEAC is 8 games so the roadie to Norfolk State is in play there as well). Will be interesting to see how the games map out once the dates are finalzed (although its fun to speculate some)

[SuperJon]

JMU is trying to get out of their game with us.

[Purple Haize]

JMU is trying to get out of their game with us.

Even with Matthews gone?

[SuperJon]

I've known it for a while but figured it wasn't a big deal during the season.

[Schfourteenteen]

SJ breaking the worst kept secret in LU sports this month :I chortle audibly.:

Just playing, I'm glad someone went ahead and spilled it, b/c we couldn't.

This is what alternate usernames and PM are for, so someone else can spill the beans.

I will gladly volunteer to post any PM'ed information as my own insider info. Try it out. Send me ANYTHING and I'll post it.

[BJWilliams]

That isn't a shock there...JMU really hasn't liked us for some time and so that news isn't exactly new. JB can do one of three things there:

1) take a hard line and essentially "force" JMU to keep the game (not my preferred way of going about it)
2) Let them buy out the game and fill it with another road game
3) same as #2 except fill it with another home game (NOT a d2 in the name of God please)

[Sly Fox]

I've been hearing that for a very long time but it hasn't happened yet.

[Chris Lang]

That game was supposed to be on Sept. 27, but the CAA scheduled Delaware to play at JMU that day. The only other mutual opening is on Sept. 20.

More dates for next year are posted within this blog post:
