But I do agree the bar should be raised some. Hopefully we get some nice neutral court match ups vs. some major programs. Also hope we get an idea of how the Purdue home and home will play out.

Every big time team that has played in the CONVO have indicated that they would not return: Indiana, Cinci, WVU Depaul are some. Even Valpo complained about getting to Athens when they can travel to easier sites. Travel and getting to Athens is a challenge. All of these teams have charters. If we could get charters into OU Airport that would help. But because of no emergency units available they cannot fly into our airport. We cannot even get our charters to leave from Athens as we have to go to Rickenbacker. Teams do not want to fly to Columbus and then bus to Athens. Parkersburg has had problems getting teams out after games because of fog. One team had to bus on to Clarksburg, WV to get their charter flight.

Washington Generals will be there in case of any scheduling conflicts.

The poster is obviously new. Give him a break. Also, could be a young kid. Give him a break. Non conference schedules are debated a lot here bobcat 2000. I'd like to see 1-2 big games (like Xavier or Michigan State) and then a nice rounded out schedule of games we should win no problem and challenging games against similar situated teams (like the Marshall game.) This year's schedule seemed weak but is looking like it did what it was supposed to do, which is let all the new guys figure out the system and each other without overly negative results like a big blowout losses to Kansas or something.

I realize not all of us lurked for years before joining in the discussion but it does make some sense to read what's being discussed for at least a little while before plunging in -- just to save yourself from ridicule if nothing else. One could also simply read through a couple pages of threads for awhile before posting. Just sayin'.

This is kind of "pack posting." I call a 15-yard piling on penalty. Oops . . .

If Athens is not available, is Columbus or Parkersburg the next feasible option? Part 91 wouldn't work. Our largest aircraft not under a experimental certificate is a King Air 350 and thats not going to be large enough. Basketball charters are can be used at UNI from varous part 135 companies. Last time out to buffalo we used a Freight runners express emb 120. Holds about 30 passengers. Ill be on the lookout to see if Buffalo charters into UNI or not. Football teams would require an aircraft too large for our airport. They can go to Columbus or Parkersburg and then bus to Athens. Not a huge deal. http://www.freightrunners.com/aircraft / Last Edited: 2/23/2016 8:33:54 AM by Ohio Pilot Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 19  of 19 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Basketball' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 167 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 162 Guests 5 Registered Users:   Spearchucker, Jonesy1017, bobcatsquared, Kinggeorge4, Cats5 There are no other users looking at this page.
