Next year’s OOC opponents

[Cuse1055]

What do we know about next year’s out of conference schedule/opponents? I know we will have Georgetown, Colgate, Cornell and Mercer at the dome. Also I know it’s been mentioned that we’re playing LSU at MSG. Anything else anyone has heard? I assume we’ll play on the road in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, so any guesses on who we’ll play? I say we play at Indiana.

I guess you have to add 1 decent A10 level opponent to the last 3. And make sure the last 2 tomato can teams will be squads that finish above .500 in their lower leagues.

The Big Ten was so close 1-10 last year it doesn't really matter who we get its going to be our best chance for an early win. 18/19 team might miss the tournament without that Ohio St win.

My guess is Syracuse at Rutgers.
It’s a game for Northeast fans and they were on the road last year.

Yuck. Wish we would never have to play at the RAC again, although we did pretty well there our last few years.

And by RAC, do you mean home game?

I wouldn't mind at Rutgers or at a team we rarely play, Illinois perhaps.

Yeah I think playing at Illinois or even Minnesota would be pretty cool.

Personally, I would certainly like to see a more "challenging" OOC schedule than what is listed here. I will wait to see how it fills out before I past final judgement. My philosophy - "Play tough competition and get battle tested regardless of how young or inexperienced your team is." Worked for me when coaching minor hockey leading up to Ontario Championship rounds.

Gimme one of the top dogs. No Wisconsin, or OSU again. Maryland, or Illinois, and the Cockburn. Wouldn’t mind Sparty either. We shouldn’t struggle as much this time around, so I don’t mind playing someone tough.

If we’re playing away I want Indiana. Period. Has little to do with the opponent and everything to do with the venue. That place just seems cool. I want to see the Orange play there.
