2019-20 Schedule (top post is current)

[Billyboy78]

That’s great to hear. It was a ghost town from Friday night to Sunday Night when I was there 83-87.

It certainly was. I remember I saw Marshall Tucker Band at Meade and I went by myself. Everyone had left campus.

Concerts at Meade? Bring them back!

There used to be Spring concerts at Meade every year. I remember one when I was there, B.B. King, J.Geils and a few others. Great times.

Omigosh...JGeils... I saw them 6 times, a LOT of fun.
Magic Dick (with Shun Ng) is at the Stone Courthouse here in West K next weekend. Has anyone seen that act?

I haven't. I wonder if he still does Whammer Jammer? (am I off topic?)

That is 'totally' topic. I just watched a YouTube video of them doing that one...not bad...

J.Geils was also the first concert I ever saw at the Prov. Civic Center (now The Dump) in '74. Tickets were $4.50. The Who played later that year at the same place. Tickets were $8.50. I thought that was outrageous. I didn't go.... The Spring concert with J.Geils was in '75.

[Taylor Swift]

$4.50 for a concert!? Damn that’s an iced coffee these days.

I saw J Geils maybe 3 times all around New Years. They played until the Civic Center shut it down. Awesome!!!

When does the OOC get released?

[PeterRamTime]

When does the OOC get released?

Almost never.

Every year.

[RF1]

When does the OOC get released?

The fact that the Jamaica Classic field is not yet complete may be a factor for it not being released. There will be two home tournament games versus opponents from a group of four teams, two of which are not yet known (only known are NC A&T and Nicholls State.

I hope we play neither. If we have to, I hope we beat them by more than 50.

[ace]

But they are going to get two teams like that in the tournament. That’s how those things work.

Anyone have any insight into how North Florida* is supposed to look this season? That’s their other game in Jamaica.

ETA- as noted below, it is actually North Texas. I mixed up two of the states that I would never live in.

It is actually north texas. But I think they should be a solid mid major team that definitely has a chance to win their conference. Most of their best players are returning. They had a couple injuries to end the year last year but were really good to start the year. I like them better then bucknell who we played last year.

Ha! I knew that, had the tournament page open and everything. Is there even a North Florida? Or just Central and South? Hopefully they’ll do better against them then Bucknell.

You weren’t joking. The end of their season was brutal.

I know north Florida has been near the top of the A-sun for the last few years.

There is a North Florida, The University of North Florida Ospreys out of the Atlantic Sun conference. They had a couple of good years in 2015 and 2016 seasons. Made the big dance for the first time ever in 2015.

An osprey is just a fantastic mascot.

[theblueram]

I lived in both Texas and Florida and would say I loved them both. Nice taxes. great roads and infrastructure. Nice place to retire I would think. Great gun laws as well.

Every year.

It’s always a really narrow window of any time between May and late August.

Ace never say never. Lived in FL for a number of years. Could very well end up there again part time; just not sure where. It's a large and diverse state. I never thought I would live in NJ but did and liked it, a lot. You never know.

I'm really enjoying making posts that have nothing to do with the schedule.

At the very least, I would require a climate controlled Pope-mobile like vehicle to transport me around the state. Humidity is my hair’s mortal enemy. We have family in Florida (Miami area and Clearwater). It is very much not my thing.

But yeah, the schedule!

[ace]

Last year’s conference pairings were announced on June 13. Are we going to get them this week?

Dayton, Davidson, VCU, UMass, and La Salle again? Switch out St. Joe’s maybe?

St. Joe’s games are going to seem so strange this year.

[bigappleram]

Getting Dayton, Davidson and VCU would be a god send as it would add likely 3 Q1 road games and 3 Q1/Q2 home games pending where they net out after OOC.

[sevegny7]

Yeah north texas started 16 and 1 to start. But really hit a tough stretch with several of there best players getting hurt. They never recovered from that. And fiu and fau really took advantage of them during that injured time. And when the players returned they were not 100% and it showed. If they didnt have those injuries I think they would have won their conference. They are returning at least half of their top 6 scorers. They added a transfer from north dakota state...and a few good juco players.

North Florida is in Jacksonville I believe Sidney Green coached there for a time

This has Samford and UMBC included in the travel thing....

If they are in it with NC A&T and Nicholls St then that would be 8 teams.

LSU
URI
Utah State
North Texas

Nicholls St
Samford
NC A&T
UMBC

This looks pretty definite.

[PeterRamTime]

I think our schedule is pretty set now.

We will play five teams involved in the Jamaica classic,(assuming we will get two home cupcake games) along with three games at the tournament in Jamaica.

Those five games added to the seven games already scheduled would give us twelve total. Doubt we will exceed that.

[sevegny7]

I like that tourney. Could be a whole lot worse imo. And let's face it who does not want to go to Jamaica.

Just four games in total for the Jamaica Classic tournament. Two at home and two in Jamaica from a group of LSU, USU, and North Texas.

Good detective work PRT

The 4 teams consisting of Nicholls State, Samford, NC A&T and UMBC will not play the upper 4 teams in Jamaica.
The upper 4 teams will play one another in 2 games each . The Tournament will decide which of the 4 teams will play each other

Games will take place for 3 days, November 22nd through the 24th in Jamaica.

Seems to suggest that there will be three games down there.

[RF1]

The Nicholls State web site press release has Samford and UMBC in the Jamaica Classic as well. Indicates that all eight participants will play four games - eight in the US and eight at Montego Bay.

Two games in Jamaica for the 8 teams. A total 8 games played over 3 days. That is what last year’s schedule shows.

[PeterRamTime]

I see that now

Our road game with Brown is scheduled for January 2nd, 2020 per Brown's men's basketball schedule press release.

Too hot!

Cali would be my hot choice above them.

Clicked on the video. Then noticed the Chicago performance of 25 or 6 to 4 at Tanglewood in 1970. Their original guitarist was incredibly good; but died very young. Had to listen to Santana too. That was all almost 50 years ago. Damn.

Terry Kath kicked ass, and Chicago could rock. After he died, they started drifting toward the wimpy Peter Cetera Lite FM dreck.

Hendrix once said that Terry Kath was better than he was.

They're even closer than that... they're two of the 28 member Association of Jesuit Colleges & Universities.
