Can't complain too much about the conference schedule. We double dip with EMU and WMU out of the West and get CMU at home. Akron at home on a Saturday for once. Easy Saturday road trips to Kent and BG. Close it out with two home games.

Urbana is, whatever, I get it. At Western Kentucky is a good challenge and usually a strong mid-major program. Hopefully that comes with a return to Athens.

The only issue I have with the schedule is that the MAC tournament is during Spring Break.

I'm glad to see that Akron game on a Saturday. No excuse for The Roundhouse to have less than 11,500+ that day.

Agreed on WKU - mentioned that to someone else that I think that's possibly the best team we'll play in non-conf, if not all year. New coach, quality transfers, big time following and nice arena. If they are a return to Athens, and we know Iona is, that's a nice pair of home games next year.

The MAC is going to be very tough this year. I don't see WKU as better than the entire MAC.

Possibly, maybe even probably. Maybe I'm reaching on that, but I do know they've added several high profile transfers. Admittedly, I'm not sure which ones are eligible to play this year. I'd say their program is better than a bunch of teams in the MAC, that much I'm sure of.

I think the MAC is going to be tough as usual this year. You look at Kron with their guards, Little Dog and Cheatham and the sharpshooting sophomore. You have Buffalo minus Bearden but still deep and talented. Northern was fairly young last year. Toledo always has athletes and while I think Senderoff sucks he usually has some players. Western and Central are solid...basically it will be difficult but this year's team needs challenged. I think we will be fine. It will come down to how well Gavin picks up Treg's spot and how deep we can be. If Culver and/or Carter can contribute major minutes like Block did we can look good.

Western sucks.

Yeah, he's a good one. I was thinking of him as a PG, so that's where my mental block came from. They'll be good, and I think the Beefs and Kent will as well. Miami, I can't see being that good with 8 frosh. BG is the wild card in the east I'm not sure about.

It's a solid schedule...Should have some pretty competitive games, only 3 true clunkers, 1 in-state and 1 O'Shea. I think this year in particular we will be peeled to the updates on how these teams fare after we play them because a lot of these teams could easily go pretty hard one direction or the other.

Finally get an Akron Saturday game and I'll be on a cruise then...grumble.

I would love to see Jeff (Real or Fake) McKinney's take on that Rio Grande exhibition game.

Good one, OCF.

Are we scheduled to beat BG at their place, for once, this year?
