Football Scheduling News

A little news on next year's football schedule.  Maryland was, apparently, on the schedule, and now they aren't.  The good news it that BG has added a home-and-home with Tulsa.  The front end will be out there next year, and then they'll make a return trip out to BG in the future.

A few notes.

First, it means BG will play 5 home games next season.  While having 6 games was great this year, our AD has been saying that the budget issues at the university would prevent us from making that a long-term habit, and this is the result of that.

The road games will be @Troy, @Michigan and @Tulsa.  Marshall will drag the moonshine wagon into Ohio for a return on their home and home.

Tulsa is an excellent team for us to have a home and home with, and does represent an advance in our schedule.

Of course, the Falcon Nation has PTSD when it comes to Tulsa, based on a long, tragic, painful night on the Gulf Coast of Alabama, the worst bowl defeat in history for any team.  So, you know, it would be nice to get a win and settle the score a little.
