Scheduling 2018/2019

[GoRamblers]

We have a home game against Norfolk State for the 3rd year in a row.

[ramblermgr9599]

So here we go again?
home v.s. Norfolk
@ UIC

whats next home v.s Wright State and Eureka?

This will not sell tickets.

Need at least two prime non con home games (Dayton, SLU, lower P5 school, etc.)
Add in a Western Michigan, Loyola Marymount, Northern Illinois, Detroit, etc.
The same old non con home schedule is boring.

If things go as they are supposed to, the showdown with Nevada will be a nationally televised, top 25 match-up. Expect a sell-out.

However, it would be nice to get another "name" in the building (Dayton, SLU, Davidson, Bonnies, lower P5).

Would love to get games against schools that have the most alumni in Chicagoland area. The best games are against Illinois State, IMO. It fills the place. We can expect a better student and alumni following to combat the other schools' fans.

Would really like for games against teams from the top 15 at lowest 20 conferences.

Interesting Trib 1:1 with Porter Moser on a number of topics, including scheduling:

According to this, a neutral site game against Mississippi State is a possibility.

A non-con schedule that included Boston College, Mississippi State, Nevada and Wyoming would be pretty great compared to the recent past.

1. UMKC home opener (11/6/18 - 6 months away),
2. home vs Nevada
3. @ UIC
4. MTE (3 games)
5. Ft. Meyers (2 Games)
6. home vs. Norfolk St.
7. neutral vs. Mississippi State (Maybe)

There’s definitely 1 Q1, and possibly 2-3 Q2 games in there and Porter still has 2-4 games left to schedule. Last year we only had 1 Q1 and 1 Q2 non-conference games; definitely an improvement.

This would make a lot of sense for us. It's a good neutral game. You can celebrate 55 years of the Game of Change, and it would be in New Jersey giving Marques a game in front of his family and friends. I hope that it actually happens.
