i don't understand this. i like our app state game/series, and hope it continues. :twocents:
Even though I think App State was mathmatically our worst loss this season, I kind of like having them on the sked too. Hopefully, their team will improve.
I also liked having ODU on the schedule. Historically, they play feisty against us and they usually have a good W-L record.
I just didnât like the way Charlotte performed against either one of them. Good scheduling; horrible results. Bottom line is you have to win.
Someone mentioned this already, and Bobby may try this, I donât know. I would schedule teams from the Big East, ACC, SEC, and so on that are middle of the pack or lower. Georgia Tech, Georgia, Vandy, VT, etc.
These games would be interesting for the general public. Teams like LIU and Youngstown St. are not very exciting. Of course, we were not very exciting this year either.
Where is that website where all of the colleges post on a message board to callaborate scheduling games? There used to be a thread about it. The site sorta resembled Craigslist. Teams would post an open date and list the quality of team they were looking to face. I thought it was interesting.

He has asked teams from these conferences on a regular basis and they has shown little to no interest. The Missouri Valley commish called Bobby a few years ago asking why he wouldnât play any of him teams (when we were not playing Southern Illinois). Bobby said heâd contacted all of them and no one wanted to come to Charlotte other than Southern Illinois.
The Youngstown State game was a done to get a home game, they already had contracted with High Point and wanted two games in the area for their trip. Canât say how Long Island was scheduled. Obviously youâre going to be buying games over the holidays, no decent team will play you then. And unfortunately, weâre not like Syracuse that can dictate when youâll play them at home.

Oh yeah! I think its on the NCAA website. Anyone have it?
[QUOTE=wayton5646;389441]We should really try to get 2 big east teams on the schedule. I wouldnât care if they were in the bottom of the league (Rutgers, St. Johnâs, S. Fla, Depaul, Seton Hall) but would prefer middle of the pack. It wouldnât want to play the top right now and thereâs no way they would schedule us anyway.[/QUOTE]
Even still, those teams would bring people in. Who doesnt know who Rutgers is or Seton Hall, St. Johns etc etc.

I like those teams too, due to geographyâŚ
Unfortuantely, its becoming VERY tough to find a âguaranteedâ win anymoreâŚ
