Any update on this? Around a month ago, Bates said he wanted to get it tied down but obviously the search for Addaziani put this on the back burner.
Recently GT added a second D1AA game as they couldn't work out anything.
I'm hoping Bates finds a home game, we're looking at a home schedule of: Stony Brook, Army, FSU, NC St, Wake, Cuse/Coastal team

BCWest {l Wrote}:I was told it is not going to be a good team. Home game. We will be writing a check for a team to come. They did try to get a bunch of different teams, but the window was narrow.
Daz will get 3 cupcakes out of the 4 OOC games. So if he can go 3-5 in 2013 in ACC, he will be 6-6 and go bowling.

Also, I noticed on a future schedules website that BC/USC is supposed to be 9/14. Does anybody know if that date's solid ?
BCWest {l Wrote}:Schedule next year is completely a gift to Daz. He SHOULD go 6-6. These are NOT unreasonable expectations. This is a forgiving cupcake schedule. Don't let them make excuses next year.

hinghameagle {l Wrote}:west: you are a great poster, but I am stunned by the amount of posters on here and elsewhere who have been living on another planet for the past three years. Bashing spaz is legit, he deserved every ounce of it, and he left this program in ruins, which everyone is glad to reference. However, nobody wants to acknowledge when looking at our schedule next year that we currently STINK. You cite five teams ranked above 100 and assume that we win those games. BC lost to army, and wake and beat md in the last minute. BC is no better and likely worse than those teams. We were 2-10 and deservedly so last year, with one win over Maine and another again in the last minute over MD. We were not far off from 0-12. 6-6 is not an automatic next year, and given coaching changes and implementing new philosophies which usually leads to struggles, I would assess it as unlikely. We are more likely to lose to an army or stony brook or the other mystery team then we are to beat a Clemson, fsu, USC, or vt.

twballgame9 {l Wrote}:Horse dung. Even stinking, BC should have won an additional 3-4 games this season.

claver2010 {l Wrote}:2014 will be a great schedule: open @ UMass, Army @ Yankee Stadium (prefer Michie), home schedule: USC, Clemson, VT, Louisville, Cuse?

What is the appeal of a football game in a baseball stadium (with no history or underlying appeal like Wrigley or Fenway) in the Bronx?

I was going off the FBS teams that still have openings for 2013....according to BCI that's (in order of my preference):
1. Arizona (no brainer, BCS program on the rise in a great location)
2. Missouri (they suck by SEC standards but still in the SEC, we might actually be able to beat them, and should be a fun road trip)
3. BYU (solid program but we've played them recently and "meh" road trip unless it's late enough in the season to hit the slopes)
4. Tulane (bad program but peer academic school and best road trip on the list)
5. Texas State (decent road trip--halfway between Austin and San Antonio--should be an easy win, and Texas exposure)
6. Middle Tennessee State (close to Nashville but deceptively tough game, stomped GT this year and they seem to knock off an ACC/SEC team every couple years)
7. CMU (solid program and good recruiting exposure but I feel like we play them all the time)
8. Marshall/New Mexico State/Idaho (doesn't matter at this point...Marshall would give us western PA/southern Ohio exposure I guess)
I expect they'll try to get the 2013 game at home with a return trip at some point in the next few years....also if the opponent is anyone other than the top 4 and maybe MTSU or CMU I wouldn't expect we'd ever play a return game (2 for 1 if anything with MTSU/CMU), so the road trip aspect wouldn't matter in that case but the games would still be on TV in those areas.

It is not just who has an opening, it is also who has an opening that matches a date BC can play.
