The Schedule

[BigShoop]

We have 3 home games that are going to be played at the normal, Saturday 7pm start time. And that's assuming that the ones that are currently listed as "TBA" are in fact 7pm games.

We have 1 friday night, 2 thursday night, and 1 sunday night game. Fortunately, only one of those "oddball" games are on the road.

Although it is no excuse, how our players adjust to this will be a determining factor in our final standing.

Discuss.

(BONUS: ow do you think this will effect attendance numbers?)

[Stier]

I think our players will be able to adjust to our schedule just fine! I don't think that it will affect the attendance numbers either. Especially if we are as good as expected and keep ourselves ranked!

Good topic.

Fri, Sep 12 Kansas - Tampa   8 PM

Obviously, this will be a sellout. Huge game. This boosts our avg attendance.

Thu, Oct 02 Pittsburgh * - Tampa   7:30 PM

Anyone's guess on attendance? IF we are undefeated, my guess is 52.

Seriously though, that's my guess. There are people on this board much more in tune with number predictions though.

Sun, Nov 23 UConn * - Tampa   8 PM

IF we are undefeated, the fact that it is on a Sunday won't matter much. But I'm guessing the bandwagoneers won't come out for it, anticipating a loss at WVU. So, I'm going to go with between 48-51. That is a big IF on the undefeated. 

As far as the toll on the players... They remember RU last year. That which does not kill us, makes us stronger.

Actually, I think the Tennessee Martin game will be our only 7:00pm game.

I am already planning for Homecoming to be a Nooner... and I would expect Rutgers to be at Noon as well.

I'd like one nooner... but the rest would be great at night.

What makes you think the Syracuse game will be at noon?  I would think that would be an ESPN regional.

rutgers will probably be a thursday night game again

What does ESPN Regional have to do with the time?

I think the USF game will be a Big East Game of the Week, which will be a Noon kickoff -- and produced by ESPN Regional.

No sir. Thursday night games are set before the season. USF's game will be played sometime Saturday, November 15.

Wasn't our homecoming game @ 12:00 last year?

I would assume it would be the same this year.

yea i would imagine that the Rutgers game becomes a noon game.  but I find it hard to believe that USF vs Cuse would be the Big East game of the week.  Is everyone else on a bye week or playing an OOC?
