This is incorrect. No way to get this done without scheduling Miss Porters twice.

Sadly....I chuckled at Trump University. So many ideas...all players on injured reserve with bone spurs...gold uniforms...biggest crowds ever...etc..

I think we should go REALLY old school...

Willimantic YMCA (perfect...home game for both teams)
Norwich Academy (home & home)
Willimantic Business College
Waterbury YMCA (road trip)
Taft School (home and home)
Rockville Regulars (honest, I'm not making any of these up)
Pomfret School (home & home)
Willimantic Hustlers
Williston (home & home)
Wesleyan Academy
Cushing Academy
Fort Mitchell?
Bridgewater State U.
Norwich University (aah, the big leagues...should be good for a 1.7 million dollar payday game, having to travel to the wilds of northern VT)
Fort Wright??
Dean Academy (another payday game on the road...whomped us 40-0 the last time)
Stevens Institute of Technology
(alma mater of one of my first cousins)
Worcester Poly (home & home)
Columbus University???
New York Aggies (a peer school)
Lowell Textile (home & home)
St. Stephens????
Penn. Military (they run the triple option)
New London A.C. (home & home)
and, last but not least,
Connecticut Literary Institute
(watch it...these guys will stab you with their pens!)

These were all legitimate opponents (well, maybe some were only semi-legitimate) that our Huskies, then known as the Aggies, faced on the gridiron from 1896 through 1923. I listed well over 12 opponents because, quite frankly, I doubt if several of these institutions still exist, and also some may turn us down.

Our 1924 team faced a more reasonable schedule of familiar New England colleges and went 6-0-2, prompting the New York Times to write that we were one of the finest teams that season. That team scored 90 points and held its opponents to a scant 13 points. We won the two games we were scored on. The ties were both 0-0 vs Tufts and Springfield College. That was likely the greatest team during the era prior to WWII.

From 1924 on we strictly played colleges and universities...no more of the cream puffs listed above, except for our curious 1949 encounter with the Newport Naval Training Station, who we soundly thrashed by a whopping 125-0 score.

If we play a schedule like this, I wonder if you can have a negative number for SOS?

The Connecticut Literary Institute is still around - Suffield Academy.

I say we schedule them.

Good thing we get that bye week 9. I hear the South Harmon Institute of Technology plays dirty.

Nope. Right from the media guide.
