2025 Schedule Tidbits...

Feb 15th at Maryland confirmed. Quite a lineup for the Terps!

 
Schedule has been posted and is finally official

Agree on everything. This schedule is harder on paper and easier on the mentals, with three of our in state rivals who are out for blood when they play us off the list. Of the three off (Army Albany Hobart), Albany is probably the most disappointing. It is highly likely that they will be the best team in the American East this year, with minimal losses in the offseason and some promising young talent. Wish we found a way to play them while dropping one of Jacksonville Utah Vermont or Manhattan.

On that subject, I also wish we just dropped Manhattan all together, despite the Odierna connection. No real opportunity to improve as a team or learn anything by teeing of on a team of their caliber. Even if they win their conference, which is far from guaranteed, it is unlikely to be any sort of RPI boost. For a team with such an experienced starting lineup like ours I really do not see the point other than extending an olive branch to Odierna's former school, which just ain't worth it

On Manhattan, they seem like a last second replacement for Delaware as they weren't on that initial schedule that was released and the Tuesday game date screams last second scramble to find a date and time that works for both parties.

Albany I think wants a home and away regular series after SU played there in Gait's first year and I don't think SU is interested in that. I think it's a bad sign this is the 2nd year in a row they won't match up, I wouldn't be surprised if the game took a decent hiatus. I suspect Hobart and Army will be back next year. The Army game is a bit of a mystery to me, not sure what happened there.

Any chance Army missing from the schedule has anything to do with the football team canceling the football game for this year?

Nah.

Army had to dump it's entire football schedule when it joined the AAC.

As OE noted it does not, that was something Army had to do when it joined the conference and it impacted a number of Army OOC opponents. I don't think SU held any grudge about that. Both teams preferred when the game was played on Sundays which was the usual date but the last few years that hasn't been the case as they've been unable to do a weekend date and have had to play during the week. My assumption is they couldn't find a date that worked for both teams, same thing happened in 23. I suspect they will be back on next year.
 
random question. So stated before attending two games this year march 9th n april 26. As already booked hotel. But haven’t got game tickets yet n can’t remember what did last year if got tickets day of or close to or if got ahead of time. Is there really any difference getting them ahead or day of? Or any suggestions?

I believe day of the game they are a little bit more expensive.
