natemathwhiz2 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 According to ticketmaster, here are the opponents our boys will take on at FES-CCF this fall. Very impressive job if all are true. Jared continues to bring in quality and well known teams. One thing I noticed was the lack (only 1) big ten home opponent. I know Michigan state and Ohio state will be road match ups but that might be it for big ten competition this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyfan34 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Nice, I think there is a Home football game against Toledo on November 2nd. I wonder if one of those games will get moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Grand Canyon Soccer Looks like the lone cupcake on an otherwise highly-competitive slate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) While Grand Canyon is currently a cupcake, they have ambitious plans for the sport. I realize the reach of Title IX, but it's still a bit odd that neither Arizona nor ASU have men's soccer programs.

TennZip Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 The Michigan game will likely be an exhibition game with the regular season starting on the 26th against a great Georgetown team. Oakland University is advertising that the zips will play an exhibition game at Oakland on Aug. 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it will be at Happy Valley in 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've usually staggered the times so we could attend both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos to Jared for another great home schedule and for helping GCU get their program going by scheduling them. I believe that we are returning UCLA's 2015 favor with a visit to Westwood. Can't wait to see who else is on the away schedule besides Michigan St, Penn St, Ohio St., BGSU, and NIU.

I'm sure ESPN/CBS is dictating the American Football game time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I responded to you without looking at the date/day of the week. You could be right about the adjustment. That may be one of the reasons that the schedule hasn't been released. It was so nice in 2015 not having the midweek American Football games that I didn't consider they were back for 2016.

Wake Forest released their schedule today and they are playing exhibitions on Aug. 11 and 13....and Wake shows that their regular season starts on Aug. 19. August 19 seems to be an earlier start than previous years(last year, the zips played exhibitions on aug. 18 and 22...and started season on aug. 28 at VCU)...but I am glad that Michigan is a regular season game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
