Re: 2016-17 Schedule Discussion

The URI PC game tips off at 430 and looks like it will be nationally televised on Fox. Most of PC's other games say Fox Sports 1 or 2, ours just says Fox Sports. This could be great exposure for us. Great start time too. Can get in a few hours of pregaming and hopefully some post game celebrations....

Re: 2016-17 Schedule Discussion

Don't like the 230 start time vs UMASS on Jan 15. The NFL will have divisional playoff games that day at 1 and 4. Pats will play at either 4:30 on that Saturday or 4:30 on sunday

Other than that l like the Friday night games
