Prior to seeing this schedule, I thought winning one of the first two was critical to the season. I'm not sure about that now. The two games against Miami and BG will be key to a successful season. Both games can be won and if they are won, the Zips could be 3-3 worst case with six to go. With remaining games against umass, Can't and cmu, the Zips could go 6-6...A long shot, but not out of the question. We wouldn't be the first MAC school to go from 1-11 to a bowl. It happens all the time in this league and why not us?

Schedule looks good to me. Home games kick off with a Thursday nighter against UCF and then the rest of the home dates are Saturdays. The Tuesday before Thanksgiving night game against Toledo sounds like a good road trip to me.
I am pleased. No extremely difficult stretch in the list. I like GP1's optimism with that 6-6 pick. -------------------- Bitter member of the venomous minority.

I like seeing no Big 10(12) team on the schedule.

Very nice schedule. Nice balance of good home games in Autumn weather (late Sept-early Nov).
Would have loved to have a break in the middle somewhere to help the team adjust to new offense and new coaches. But, overall, no real gripes. |

Given our performance in recent years I would characterize the 2012 schedule as challenging.
The only criticism I have is that I think the Toledo game should be considered a conference contest. |

This schedule is just right.
Besides the points already made, the open weekend prior to the Toledo game is most fortunate. That's the weekend of the Puerto Rico tip-off! Who's in for the highly prized San Juan/Toledo double? -------------------- "Build it, and they can't tear it down.......not for a good 15-20 years anyway."
