2018-19 Schedule Thread

[Cedric Dempsey]

Everyone seems to be sleeping a bit on Penn. Very good team this year.

Maybe we'll play a 2-3 against them like Hewitt did.

That was when I started to suspect much incompetence on staff. Much incompetence.

[GreenLantern]

10-3 with 13 overtimes!

Only way this schedule could be better would be if we had a big boy coming to Fairfax, love the mix of teams with several shots at BCS teams and even more mid majors who may end up being quality wins by the time March rolls around - surprising amount of those teams had 20 wins, or close to it, last year.

 

[JBiggs]

I'm hoping to make it to the K-State game. About a 7-hour drive from Denver. The schedule looks pretty good overall. I like it.

Yeah, I'm not overly confident about a win at Georgia Southern. Beat GMU by 23 at EagleBank last year. Return most of the team. Hopefully Reuter and a better game by everybody else results in a W.

Judging by this schedule looks like Paulsen is punting on playing for an at-large bid

Won't be easy, but I think a strong enough performance against this OOC schedule could help result in an at-large.

Would have like to seen some more solid mids projecting to have decent RPIs. Too many HBCs, and a bunch of P5s we most likely can't beat

 

[JimP]

I think a Cincy win will be tough but far from impossible. Tough to envision a win at KState. Love to be proved wrong.

My wife has friends not far from K State so we're considering a Christmas week trip to attend the game.

Just looked it up - I’m about 6 hours away. It sounds good now, but after driving 12 hours to Florida for the Emerald Coast Classic in November, I might not be up for it (unless we are really kicking a**). Might have to wait and see.

Why does everyone think we can't beat Ole Miss? A far inferior Mason team beat them a few years ago. They finished last in the SEC and have a pretty young squad.

Just keep in mind there is absolutely nothing in Manhattan Kansas other than the college. Zero. Zip. Zilch.

The HBCUs are a condition of playing in the ECC. No way to avoid those games and still get the opportunity to take out Cincy and Baylor. Georgia Southern, Vermont, W+M, and Penn should all be solid mids. My fear is that between Navy, American, Morgan State, Southern, and NCC there will be multiple 300+ RPI killers on the resume.

I think you're overrating the P5s. KState is the only win that would surprise me. Cincy, Baylor, Ole Miss should be beatable.

That’s all I need. I love visiting college towns and seeing the campus/stadium/greek housing.

It can’t be any more remote than Starkville, MS and I loved it.

 

[gmubrian]

I am going like 118cc5 (or whatever his screen name was) and predicting 13-0 for the. OOC.

My wife is a KU alum. I'll buy them and her KU friends GMU shirts just to get the goat of the K State crowd!

 

[Patriotsince81]

Expectations seem to be high across the board. I love it. 10 - 3 OOC and 14 - 4 in conference. 24 - 7 entering A10 tourney play would be a very solid resume. More than anything I want to see us return to winning ways at HOME.
