Yep!

Let's hope this is the last year of an 8 game schedule and that they adopt a 9 game schedule with 1 rival and 8 round robin opponents. That way BC plays every ACC team, including ND at least 1x every 3 years. Right now it is almost like 2 leagues the way the crossover schedule works. The schedule has gotten real stale and with the bad (up to this upcoming season at least) OOC schedule, there is nothing to draw anyone to games.

They're not going to a 9 game conference schedule in the foreseeable future. This was announced like a year ago.

10 and 2 here we go !

Best idea I've seen was from BCI, 3 annual opponents and 5 rotating, which would mean you're playing each of the other teams every other year. I think the proposal I saw had Syracuse, Pitt, and Wake as BC's annual opponents although I'd replace Wake (or even Pitt for that matter) with Miami. Either way something has to change, the fact that we play the Coastal schools (other than VT) only once ever 6 years and only host them once every 12 or whatever it is is ridiculous.

I enjoy playing Clemson, fsu, and virginia tech every year so I hope they don't change anything.
there, i said it.

The cross over rivalry is incredibly dumb, but must protect U vs FSU

If the ACC gets the autonomy to decide who plays in the ACCG then that becomes a valid option.

[BCdee]

Wake's schedule has been leaked and we play them on Oct 25th.

[BCdee]

BC @ FSU Nov 22nd. Yes! We'll go to that game on our drive down to Naples for Thanksgiving. Me likey!

10 and 2, here we come!!!

[31southst]

Four home games in a row (five if you count UMass as home accessible) early and four road games in a row late (broken up by a bye). Looks like we have the potential to get off to a decent start. Our toughest stretch (@VT, Louisville, FSU) is broken up by a bye.

[GreenvilleEagle]

10 and 2, here we come!!!

14 and 0, keep the faith!

[claver2010]

don't leave MA until mid october until it's down to visit the ghost of tre (rip). not bad

[hansen]

Is today the official start of 10-2 season?

Just checking.

[Iggle]

Looks like a nice schedule for season ticket holders.

[BC923]

Feels like its been a while since our last home game that was as late as the Syracuse game (I could be wrong) but I'm excited for that, I like cold weather games

How are you calculating 4 road games in a row?

Illiteracy mostly.

[Bryn Mawr Eagle]

Only 1 home game in all of October? Bummer. October is the best month to visit the Heights. Stating the obvious here, but that Clemson game is going to be a big draw.

[pick6pedro]

4th year in a row with only 1 October home game.

[DavidGordonsFoot]

I'm disappointed with the October thing, but I'm pumped to have 7 home games.

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

the tre troupe is likely to be in attendance for both north carolina based games this year.

my costume is yet to be determined as i'll want to make sure to get the most attention whored over the current student whores

[pick6pedro]

I am disappointed that we never seem to get a decent distribution of home games across the season in general. We shouldn't be pumped for 7; it should be the norm (if everyone else can and does do it). Blame for recent <7 home skeds probably lies with the folding of NU and Hofstra programs and Army's shiftiness, but I'm going to blame Flipolean instead.

True, two years in a row of 6 home games lulled me into a sense of that being the norm. I, too, blame the greaseball.

With this schedule, are we bowl eligible before Halloween???

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

With this schedule, are we bowl eligible before Halloween???

if we beat pitt, southern cal or the clemson we could be...

general assumption:

umass - win
pitt - ???
usc - ???
maine - win
colorado state - win
rcc - win
teh clemson - ???
wake - win
vpi - ???
'ville - ???
fsu - ???
cuse - win

this ignores the lack of a returning qb and a missing heisman candidate as well as assumes last year's sucky teams remain just as sucky
