Maybe it doesn't matter, but.....

.... our schedule this season is sure loaded with away games at the end - 5 of last 8, 3 of last 5 and 2 of last 3. Last season was no different with 5 of our last 7 and the final 2.

Are we getting a "minor" shaft from the schedulers?

At the other end we have 3 of our first 4 ACC games on the road. To be honest, I prefer to have the road games early. That leaves us with 6 of 8 home games in the middle where we will have to make gravy.

Of course, this is all irrelevant with the Covid thing since there may not be any fans in the stands anyway. Oh well, maybe I just wanted to post something since I've been going squirrely at home for 8 months

I think last year, we asked the ACC to end our home season of basketball ASAP to help with the dome renovation schedule.

This year, I think you have to take into account there is a likely OOC game against Gtown at home the final weekend. That would by my count give us 4 of the last 8 at home. Seems fair to me, assuming the Hoyas really are coming at the end of the season.

You are correct. Last year, we told the ACC no games in the Dome after March 1 I believe, so the last 2 were on the road.

Great singer. About to turn 82.

He has a great love for keeping the memory of the Edmund Fitzgerald alive. It sank 45 years ago yesterday.

DonLightfoot Gordon is from Orillia. Are you related?

I heard that yesterday and when I saw Don's post it brought back a lot of memory's of that song playing in pubs and bars on rainy nights.

No relation Mark, but I am a better singer I live about three hours from Orillia. Only saw Gordon once live in concert which I believe was in 1971 at Massey Hall in Toronto. Massey Hall was one of his favourite venues during the 60's and 70's.

Edmund Fitzgerald video which I think was done in a TV studio somewhere in the United States in 1979 and was syndicated elsewhere. I have the entire video from that session bookmarked which is about one hour long.

So our schedule is front-loaded with home games. In this uncertain time I'll take that and be happy!

The ACC is always up for being indifferentor worse, to their Orange headed stepchild.
