Does Central Washington owe us a home game, maybe?

Does Central Washington owe us a home game, maybe? I could be wrong but my understanding was that in 2016 we was supposed to go and play at Texas A&M Commerce, but when the Jacksonville State became available we need another Home game and in 2016 Texas A&M Commerce couldn’t come here. It was original a Home and Home game. I don’t know if it is still in effect or not. I also believe that the Central Washington was also scheduled as a Home and Home game. That was before we got the D1 invite. I don’t know if the Central Washington game is still in effect or not.

The only D1 game I have a little reservation on us having a chance to win is NDSU, I think Southern Utah is very winnable, remember we beat JSU several years age, then they won the OVC and made the playoffs. A few years later, we went into overtime with them, they made the semi-finals that year I think. If injuries and stupid stuff don't happen, we could end up win a 10-1 or 9-2 season. I will take that year 1.

Campbell will join the Big South the same time we do. So, in a way, they are our first "conference" game.

Will be interesting to see the transition take place next 2-3 years. I am a realist and understand we will take our lumps to start with. But, should be a good ride.

Anyone wanna stab at when/where the Kennesaw St game will happen? If in Kennesaw, someone meet me there with some purple & gold and I'll be happy to wear it!
Orrrrr does that not happen until the transition is over?

Orrrrr does that not happen until the transition is over? Year after next, 2019. I'm pretty sure UNA will play a full Big South schedule starting in 2019. Won't be eligible for conference title or playoffs until 2022.

Won't be eligible for conference title or playoffs until 2022. With the shaky ground the Big South is standing on, we should let it be known we would be a lot more likely to stay for an extended period if we could become eligible to compete for the conference championship in 2020. They might go for that because after two years I expect the OVC to come a callin' after we've proved our viability. The Big South would want to avoid that.
