"Big news" coming at 3pm?

[BillyLP]

According to their Instagram, there is "Big news coming at 3 PM!" with a picture of a football player. Any insights?

No insight, but I am assuming it is the schedule with dates for this fall. Otherwise, it's probably either a future opponent or a promotion/something to do with the new seating arrangement.

It's the schedule, MAC Twitter account also tweeted about a 3pm announcement.

And the Buffalo "mid-week" game is on a Friday! Pretty ideal schedule for attendance to only have one true mid-week game.

I was looking at the athletics website. I was shocked to read that we last played CMU in 2010. It's really been that long?

I'm excited about this schedule.

To me, the last time we played CMU was when that fat punter took the ball and ran it all the way down the field. Any game after that has been meaningless to me against CMU.

I think it's funny when you look at the last 4 years of BG-UT.

2015 - @ BG, Tuesday in November
2016 - @ Toledo, Saturday in October
2017 - @ BG, Wednesday in November
2018 - @ Toledo, Saturday in October

Can we EVER host them on a Saturday? Like seriously, it's like they don't want us to ever have a shot.

The Rockets are playing 7 home games this year. What are they trying to be Ohio State???

Also with Toledo schedule, they play 3 conference games within 11 days.

The also host the Miami Hurricanes... if only we could get that type of opponent to come to the Doyt.

That's what I'm saying. Lol. Maryland and Indiana are awesome gets. Any time we can host a Power 5 school is a plus. However, a top 10 team from last year, which has a history of elite levels of football? That's a different kind of incredible.

Just remember.. Md. is now coached by a former BG star, who seems to be in process of turning program around. ( but it'd be neat if this game wound up like last Time we played).

I believe Toledo booked that home-and-home series with Miami Hurricanes back in 2010. Just like how we have several games booked out 8 to 10 years in advance. Miami was 6-6 in 2010, 6-6 in 2011 and 7-5 in 2012. When that series was scheduled Miami, even though a P5 School, was playing some pretty bad football. If Miami has another stellar year this year I'm curious if they would let Toledo do another contract.
