Since 2005-2006, we’ve had home and homes with:
Wake
Maryland
GT (twice)
FSU
Miami
Clemson
We have also had home and homes with these teams from the SEC:
Tennessee
Mississippi State
In that same span, Davidson has played the following ACC and SEC programs home and home:
…
I’m sure we could get a lot more ACC teams to play us if we were willing to not want home and home’s and just accept our place as an irrelevant program that does not deserve any respect.
We’ve done a fairly good job getting home and home’s with ACC opponents, just none in the state, but like J Felt said, they have to agree to play those games too and they don’t want to play us at home, or in some cases play us at all. It is a no win proposition for them. If they win, it is considered a game they’re supposed to win and they don’t get any respect for it. If they lose, they get mocked and talked down because they got beat by Charlotte.
Our focus needs to be on continuing to get any home and home ACC games we can get, get a home and home started up with an SEC program, and get home and homes set up with A10, Big East, and MWC/Missouri Valley Conference teams.
Every year our OOC schedule should have, IMO, games against ECU & App (with one of those being at home), an ACC team, an SEC team, Davidson, a preseason tournament, a Big East and/or A10 team, MVC team (or someone like Belmont), and 1-2 guarantee games.
Our OOC schedule is actually not bad this year, it was just the home schedule that sucked. We played a B1G team, a Big XII team, and two ACC teams. Four games against power conference teams, Davidson, and a game against another large in-state public school (App) really isn’t a bad schedule, it is just a shame that most of those games were played away from Halton.
