Well at least our coach knows what to do at Sam Houston and has more tools to do if
Yes, I think 2017 is the second year in the rotation, so it would be a straight home-and-home flip of the conference games.
What will be interesting is 2018 - Delaware is not on our "fixed" list of opponents, so I wonder if Rocco's return to Richmond will make the rotation, or we'll have to wait until 2020.
It will be more fun beating his butt in Newark with his marching bands, tailgating and electric atmosphere. He can embrace that.
Amen, brother. I think we need to come up with some kind of "landscape" cheer for all the time we'll be spending in their end zone.
choppin, if we have to wait till 2020, DR will be the new head man at rhody
2018 game down here would be great marketing opportunity for Dr. Tony Sakowski:
The Virginia Eye Institute Vision Bowl
The Virginia Eye Institute Vision Bowl
Just in time for URI to roll back off our schedule.
He'll be like "Rocco Balboa." "You been duckin' me for years!"
Add in Yale. Unless something has changed we have a 2017, 2018 Home-Home with Yale. Saw it in one of our football programs this past season.
Going to new haven would be very cool! Still smarting over Boston college off the schedule.
Ah, ya...weird. I remember mention of Yale on here. If Yale is in, either Colgate or Howard is out because we only have 3 non-conference games again next season.
Edit: Per this post, the Yale series is in 2019 and 2020.
It's Sam Houston State, Howard and Colgate.
I think we only have 5 home games next year.
It's smart for both SHSU & UR to schedule a perennial FCS contender OOC. I realize SHSU is the fill-in for FBS BC, but it's a good one.

Just have to make sure we get a few more in the playoffs to make up for it.
Tough away schedule next year. By the way Wynn just pickup a roughing the passer penalty against the Lions.
With the end of the contract with UVA in 2018, any chance we could pick up The Deacs or The Dores?
I'm not sure what other updates you want. We know the OOC opponents and dates. We won't know the dates and opponents for CAA play until that schedule is released by the league, which is not for awhile.
What did you hear was reason why? Don't we still play them in 2019?
For some programs the FBS game is usually a disaster played just for money but I think it's a benefit on a few levels for us to play a FBS team although preferably not a SEC team
Here are the OOC I believe we have over the next several years. If anyone knows differently, please feel free to correct. I'm sure this is subject to change.
2017 - at Sam Houston, at Colgate, Howard
2018 - at Virginia (FBS), Fordham, St. Francis
2019 - at Fordham, Jacksonville, Yale
2020 - at Pittsburgh (FBS), at Yale, St. Francis
2021 - at Virginia Tech (FBS)
2017 - at Sam Houston, at Colgate, Howard

I just found out and resurrected an old thread about that move. Might have to renew my season tickets for that one.

I am not a fan of the schedule for two reasons:
1- Early Bye.
2- Two stretches with consecutive road trips late in the season - November is going to be absolutely brutal.
