MDZip Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Quickly, wild rampant speculation. UConn and one other school has been granted football membership. Quote
kreed5120 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) What I figured. Schedules have been released. http://www.mac-sports.com/news/2017/2/28/FB_0228174937.aspx Edited March 1, 2017 by kreed5120 Quote

LZIp Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Kent State at the end of the season at home. Same with Ohio. Horrible. Quote
zippy5 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 3 straight weeknights to end the year again. I used to be in favor of playing Kent the last week for "rivalry week" but a Tuesday night in November = Quote
kreed5120 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Posted March 1, 2017 This schedule is a huge disappointment IMO. They put our 2 best conference home draws as Tuesday November games when the weather will suck and people would rather watch from TV instead of dealing with the cold and freezing rain. Quote
LZIp Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Also the bye, while a few weeks earlier this year, only gives us a whole 10 days off. I imagine its like that for most MAC programs, but still kind of crappy. Quote
kreed5120 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) What I don't get is how Kent got the game early last year therefore was able to attract a decent crowd, meanwhile, we get stiffed. They could have at least thrown us a bone and let us host Ohio in early October. Edited March 1, 2017 by kreed5120 1 Quote

Blue & Gold Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Silly me, I thought the MAC had gotten smart last year after they scheduled the Akron-K.ent game earlier in the year before the weather turns sour. Play K.ent in October & play Ohio for Rivalry Week. Why can't the MAC ever get anything right? 1 Quote
tpsjugglerdude Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 I must have missed the Appy State change. What happened? Why did our return game get moved to 2022? Quote
GJGood Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 I don't mind the archrival game being the last one. You never know what the weather may do any given week in northeast Ohio. However, I do think it should be on a Saturday where attendance at least has a chance to be good. Quote

Blue & Gold Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Who decides these things and is there any way for Larry Williams to preview the schedule and say, "Whoa, hold up there! I really don't think so. TRY AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME WITHOUT BEING MORONS!"? Edited March 1, 2017 by Blue & Gold Quote
Blue & Gold Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 "The MAC just released its 2017 football schedule. There are ZERO Saturday games in November." -Matt Brown The MAC sucks. Quote
Balsy Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Well for the November Games...this year is on pace to be the hottest year on record (beating out last year...which beat out the year before it...which beat out the year before it), so there's a wild chance we may have 75 degrees in November like we had in Februrary this year. Why in the hell do they schedule our Kent game in November...last year it was in October. Soooo Kent gets to benefit from good weather but the better stadium doesn't? The MAC is fundamentally stupid. 1 Quote
morris buttermaker Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Awful .... who would have thought it was possible to make a schedule that bad. Quote

zippy5 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 I have a feeling ESPN had more say than anyone with the MAC. In fact I'd guess the MAC didn't have any say Quote
