Non-Conference dates set

[Notsince1985]

8/31: FAU
9/7: Florida
9/21: Savannah State
9/28: @USF

We'll play either an ACC road game or have a bye on 9/14. Another interesting tidbit:

The Hurricanes don't like how they draw for Thursday night home games or noon Saturday home games, but they have no say in when ACC games are scheduled, unfortunately.

UFag has gotta be a night game and will sell out.

Seems like an odd placement for the Savannah game. Usually a joke of a game like that would be very early or very late. Ah well.

 

[selectsix]

really hope per article that 9/14 is not our bye week. too early in season and before a FCS game. need our bye week during acc season

A Thursday night home game would draw fine if it was a good matchup.

 

[bigpurk45]

Florida should be the Thurs late game @ home...

That worked out well last time

We could start out 4-1 and set the stage for a nice season.












HOWEVER, we could also start out 5-0 and change to whole perception of the program. The is the best August/September schedule that we've had in a long time. GO CANES!!!!!!!!!!!

9/21: Savannah State

I'm with you. If we're going to schedule doormats, at least make it a doormat in FBS. We have no business playing Savannah State.

 

[CaneShades]

Anyone know which other Atlantic team we will play beside FSu?

 

[champcane]

Or any FCS school!!!

 

[selectsix]

Anyone know which other Atlantic team we will play beside FSu?

should be at NCState but subject to change with Pitt joining

 

[jandman514]

most likely Wake Forest with NC State being dropped and Pitt added to the coastal divison

Or at least schedule it before UF or a possible conference championship game like the SEC does.

Joke of a game also in a meaningless spot. Do not want.

It's about $. We only have to pay Savannah St. about $400K. We'd have to pay an FBS team closer to $1 million. The other solution is to do what we did recently with FAU and sign a 2-for-1 contract. However, lower FBS teams seem to be doing that less nowadays and would rather have the $.
