Yes! Friday night home games are awesome.

Here’s everything that has been pieced together so far:

Mason Madness is Friday, Oct 12th

Tuesday, Nov 6th - Home vs UPenn
Friday, Nov 9th - Home vs American
Saturday, Nov 17th - Home vs Southern
Tuesday, Nov 20th - Home vs NC Central
Friday, Nov 23rd - ECC vs Cincinnati
Saturday, Nov 24th - ECC vs Baylor/Ole Miss
Wednesday, Nov 28th - Home vs TBA
Saturday, Dec 1st - Away vs W&M
Monday, Dec 3rd - Home vs TBA
Friday, Dec 7th - Home vs JMU
Friday, Dec 21st - Home vs TBA
Saturday, Dec 29th - Away vs Kansas State

Saturday, Jan 5th - Home vs TBA
Wednesday, March 6th - Home vs TBA

So, it looks like there are 3 OOC Home games we don’t know yet. Navy and Wagner have been mentioned, leaving us with one more. Any guesses? We also have the road game with Georgia Southern, but I haven’t seen a date for that yet.

Vermont.

Exhibition game against Johns Hopkins on 11/1. Hopkins HC was an assistant to Paulsen at Williams.

So far, no surprises with the twitter schedule release. At Georgia Southern will be Tues, Nov 13th.

I like doing it via Twitter. Keeps us engaged throughout the afternoon.

I like the Friday night home games, especially that it keeps us from competiting with college football. I'm curious what students would prefer if given a choice to attend a home game on a Friday night or a Saturday night.

Should be easier to get TV games on a Friday than competing with all the other games on Saturday. I wonder if this is just a Mason thing or are the other A10 teams also scheduling more Friday games? Has any other A10 teams released their OOC schedule?

Only issue with the Friday Night games is it is getting in the way of Friday Night #MAACTION

Today seems to be the day that most D1 programs are releasing their non league schedules.
Some individual programs are listed of the thread

At the top is a D-1 Spreadsheet/Google Doc which is being updated
it lists every school and conference schedule

And most of those games are on ESPN+, so I guess some people will be shelling out a few bucks a month to watch games.

Really good schedule in my opinion. Challenging and intriguing.

 

[dr. gunnie]

Some pretty good mid-majors on the schedule, lots of home games, should be pretty RPI friendly.

Assuming Vermont, K-State, Cincy, Baylor/Mississippi do what they are supposed to do year in and year out, we have some opportunities for good wins.

I like the regional flavor with JMU, Morgan St, Navy, AU and W&M; four of those five being former CAA foes. Figure MASN or CSN-MA will pick up one or two of those.

Home games with GW, vcu and JMU should be a 3 game ticket package. Navy should draw ok and AU and Morgan St will fill a few seats.

My only disappointment is not getting a shot at ODU; here's hoping for next year.

I guess we can do OOC predictions:

Tuesday, Nov 6th - Home vs Penn (W)
Friday, Nov 9th - Home vs American (W)
Tuesday, Nov 13th - Away vs Georgia State (W)
Saturday, Nov 17th - Home vs Southern (W)
Tuesday, Nov 20th - Home vs NC Central (W)
Friday, Nov 23rd - ECC vs Cincinnati (L)
Saturday, Nov 24th - ECC vs Baylor/Ole Miss (W)
Wednesday, Nov 28th - Home vs Morgan State (W)
Saturday, Dec 1st - Away vs W&M (W)
Monday, Dec 3rd - Home vs Vermont (L)
Friday, Dec 7th - Home vs JMU (W)
Friday, Dec 21st - Home vs Navy (W)
Saturday, Dec 29th - Away vs Kansas State (L)

OOC 10-3

I originally had us losing vs Penn, but I think having everyone back plus the trip to Spain (and extra practices) is going to have us a little ahead of other teams early. We are due one stinker - I’ll say that will be against Vermont. I think we’ll beat Ole Miss, because we basically own them.

Penn Class of 82 here - I will flip your Penn and Vermont Choices and go with the same OOC at 10-3

I’m a degenerate gambler and this is actually a real concern.

Vermont graduated their top 4 scorers from last year's team. I'm going optimistic and say we handle them at home and come out of this schedule 11-2.
