Yep. And they really shouldn't have. Not sure why any of us agreed to it.

Army is a 2 for 1. They play at Army in 2018 & 2025. Army comes to Va in 2021

I'm seeing Wake and UVA are 2 for 1 as well. Ouch. We are the only loser in the bunch.

Southern Virginia University students will help out. (Buena Vista is nearby.)

Oh good! Let's pack the place! We'll blow Liberty students and admin away with how well we travel! Hopefully they will

Sorry. That sounded bad. It's good we have fans that will travel to games like that. But the fact we are even discussing

I think we are all having a little fun with this....

I'm not unhappy about scheduling them

5/13/17 4:23pm

When we first got that deal, many CBers thought it validated our bid at independence. At the time it did help our brand.

There's nothing good about this deal. The fact that we signed a H/H should be

I'm not ready to go that far seeing as the last deal was a H-H with Tennessee.

I wouldn't draw too much from one series. Prior to this announcement, the last
