2017-18 Schedule Thread

[Vurbel]

If we can consistently be in the top four, much less better, in the league I'll be happy. Figure Dayton and vcu will always be in the discussion. Then it seems each year there are 2-3 other teams that are in the upper echelon (UMass, GW and SLU a few years ago, URI last year, etc.)

But worst case scenario, we can beat anybody in the A10 on any given night.

The A-10 twitter has been teasing the national games. There are 7 games on Friday night on ESPN/ESPN2.

id rather play vcu at home on a weeknight. that way our arena wouldn't be "as filled" with vcu Scum as it will be on a saturday night.

Fortunately McDonalds are open on Saturday Night, many of them late, so many of the vcu fans won't be able to make the trip due to work obligations.

Only missing two games this year is nice. Binghamton and CSUN

115! 115! 115!

Don't worry, they won't have anything to cheer about in Fairfax this season.

I think he was talking about the odor they bring, as well.

Solid point.

How could you not love vcu at home on a weekend? Just buy a bunch of tickets for you and your friends. I really like this schedule. Starting on the road at URI is kind of brutal but I'd rather get it out of the way.

 

[Falco]

Not exactly, 8 of 13 opponents are one and done's. Even the CAA did an unbalanced schedule for several years.

Lol your only proving my point.

7 TV games so far. Figuring the Louisville game will be on TV or ESPN3
Wonder if the Big 10 Network will work something out for the Penn St game since they typically don't have rights to road games.
Auburn on SEC Network?
FoxSports in Ohio usually airs all of Dayton's games (could be a MASN produced game that gets picked up in Ohio).
Figure MASN/CSN will pick up a few (hopefully @ JMU)

 

[Vurbel]

Now that Greene Turtle in Fx is out of business, in your opinion what is the best place to watch Mason games. Brions and Oh Georges aren't exactly sports bars with big TVs. Maybe Buffalo Wild Wings, but that's out past camp washington.

I'm just trying to find a place better than my phone to watch the games against Louisville and Auburn and at vcu (I refuse to go to a game there again).

Hard Times has some good TVs.

As of now, BTN didn't pick up the Penn State game:

I'm sure I'm wrong and turning 40 has hurt my memory but seems like we used to get more games on TV when in the CAA.

Don't networks tend to add more games at the last minute?

We were one of the marquee programs in the CAA. Barring something catastrophic, we'll be on TV plenty starting next season and going forward.

Do they show Mason games? I've never watched a game there.
