But it’s a dry heat! Hopefully that will be a night game.

I have noticed and find it interesting that we go on the road for the 1st game and home for the 2nd game in all of our new OOC home and home games.

We did it this way the last time we scheduled these kinds of games. Starting with the UCLA game at the Rose Bowl in 2000, then they came to Bryant-Denny in 2001. Oklahoma was at Norman in 2002, Bryant-Denny in 2003. Penn State and Notre Dame were to follow the next 4 seasons but Penn State got pushed to 2010/2011 and Notre Dame was ultimately cancelled.

That Penn State re-scheduling also reversed the order and we got the home game first in 2010.

I'm loving this new scheduling philosophy. Gives us a chance to travel to some of these other stadiums that I've wanted to visit for some time.

Hoping I get to go to all or at least a solid chunk of these

I love it also. I understand why we did the neutral site games all the time. But I think they have ran their course in my opinion.

Looks like we just added BC to our schedule for 2031 and 2034

I forget Boston college is a thing. They aren’t great but they aren’t historically terrible like Rutgers either. And nothing really stands out about them. They are just kind of there.

Good. Flutie will be 68 years old, maybe we can get to him.

Camp Randall is a "must go".

No FCS in 2023 and a road game at a G5. Two P5 games in 2032/33.

As long as the SEC continues to schedule Bama on the next to last weekend, I believe you will not see the FCS games. I will not go into the details but on that weekend it is next to impossible for Bama to schedule a FBS opponent.

Yes. Probably one of the best road trips that we have scheduled.

Nice of Saban to schedule most of these challenging games for the guy who follows him...

I just hope our program can sustain the high level of success that we have seen the last ten years when we start playing these games. Eerily reminds me of all of the high profile games we scheduled back in the 80s after our overwhelming dominance of the 1970s(BC in 83/ 84, ND in 80/86/87, Penn State every year of the decade except 1980). Hopefully the end result will be better this time around.

Eastern Illinois in 2025 and Tennessee-Martin in 2028 added.

I’ll be glad when we go to 9 conference games and these type games go away once and for all. For what we will be paying to watch games at that time, this is simply an unacceptable game product to put on the field IMO.
