Non-Conference Schedule out

It is a pretty tough non-conference schedule. I hope we don't lose too many of these before we gel.

 

The game in Lakeland is interesting. Not sure I remember seeing that announced before.

 

The Merrimack was renamed Virginia. Whom we also play.

 

I noticed there is not a Big12/SEC Challenge this year.
Instead, there is an ACC/SEC Challenge game v Wake.
What's the story behind this change?

 

Either that ACC wanted nothing more to do with the Big 10 (hexidecimal) or the Big 12 is now mostly in other leagues.

 

Do try to keep your posts civil around here please.

 

contract expired and now on to a different challenge vs a different conference

 

Virginia and Michigan lost a lot, and neither really seems to have improved. If we are even modestly better than last season (as you would expect in year two), then this slate shouldn’t be a killer. Baylor is the only team I would consider appreciably better than us.

 

I’m surprised we’ve never played East Carolina before.

 

I'm assuming it's going to be at the RP Funding Center, although I can't find any information on it. Very interested in going to that one. Kind of a unique venue compared to where we normally play.
