RE: 2016 Football Schedule
As soon as paperwork is signed, the announcement should come shortly thereafter. There is just remaining date to fill and the team that Knucklehead referenced would be phenomenal if we get ink dried. I am not going to be the one to spill any inside info in this case, but think somewhere between Curtisc83's two suggestions ... both literally & figuratively,

2016 Football Schedule
Hmm, between Harvard and Dallas Cowboys. This could be fun. Okay, I'll play.
Somewhere between the Northeast and Southwest? Sounds like the Midwest.
Somewhere between FCS and NFL? Sounds like FBS to me.
So, my all too simple an flawed powers of deduction tell me we are playing either Notre Dame, Michigan, Nebraska or Iowa.
YES!!!!!!!!

RE: 2016 Football Schedule
Memphis is about half way. I don't think we'll add another FBS school with tech and SMU already on the schedule. EKU perhaps?

RE: 2016 Football Schedule
Hmm, on second guess, I'm going with Eastern Kentucky, East Tennessee St., Missouri St., Southern Illinois, Dusquesne, Robert Morris, Indiana St., Eastern Illinois, Austin Peay, Tennessee St., Murray St., Southeast Missouri St., Tennessee Tech, Tennessee Martin, Dayton, Butler, Valparaiso, Chattanooga. Yah! I'm sure that's the team.

I'm gathering who ever we get isn't going to be really impressive. Since almost 90% of FCS is pretty meh that's why I say that. What I want is more Texas teams so I can just take a day trip to see the game vs flying into Lynchburg.

RE: 2016 Football Schedule
Don't get greedy. We have dates in Texas for the next two seasons after none for over two decades.

How do you figure the next two seasons? Baylor is in 2017. That's it for TX.

Well I'm greedy then because I want more than SMU and BU. Add TX State and a few others over the next few years so I can have my cake and eat it too.

I hope it's a road game against Kyungpook National University in South Korea since I'm moving there in a couple months.

RE: 2016 Football Schedule
We have a longtime poster on FlameFans that goes by SeoulFlame. He moved this past year to Kuala Lumpur to run a school down there but might be a good source of local intel for you.

RE: 2016 Football Schedule
And the opponent is now leaking out ...
The national runners-up will be coming but we still don't have clarity on the date and whether it will include a return trip to Alabama.

That makes an already difficult schedule that much harder. Should be a great atmosphere.

RE: 2016 Football Schedule
I'm excited it it is Jacksonville State. Hopefully they bring a good number of fans the way their fans talk. If we beat them then that could help our perception among schools looking to move up.

RE: 2016 Football Schedule
Beating them is going to be a real challenge. The non-conference portion of our schedule is going to be a major challenge.
