Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 5320296, member: 591"] Arizona released its OOC schedule. It is abysmal, but perhaps not unexpected in a complete new-build. That said, the current coach tried to blame some of it on Adia, which may certainly be true. Only Northern Arizona, which is a contracted opponent, was apparently in the top 150 of season ending rankings last year. A few of the teams had to have been near the bottom. I refuse to dignify it by posting it here. Additionally, all games will be at home. Unfortunately, we will miss the 2 exhibitions and first 2 "real" games because we will be in Hawai'i. We will miss one game because it conflicts with an already scheduled performance. And one is Thanksgiving weekend, when we do not go out in favor of Christmas decorating (if it was a great opponent we would probably go, but it isn't). In theory, if we had P4 talent, the games would virtually all be cupcakes. I doubt we are that talented, although we will probably still get our share of wins in the non-conference. The schedule is that bad. Still, since it is a complete rebuilding job essentially from scratch, I'm not going to complain specifically about choosing to schedule lite, but as I said about Niya and Adia, how you schedule your first year should be different a few years later.
