I'm wagering on four weeknight games.

Any takers?

Bolstering my resume in support of 87's job offer, Ohio announced today they have a home game on 9/27 with VMI.

Considering that was the position of the MAC last year or two years ago, to make November all weeknight games, and Thanksgiving coming "late" this year, I'm not touching that proposition.

I take the under. 3 or less weeknight games for the Falcons this year.

Our Homecoming will be at Boise St this year?

RUIT, I think given the recent track record, vs Miami and at Toledo are good bets for national tv. Our game @ Boise could definitely draw attention too, but I'm not sure they'd put it on a weekday like three years ago. Beyond that, I don't see much. A third game is possible depending on who our random West Division opponent is. If its Ball State or Central Michigan, that could definitely be another national game. Obviously if its Northern Illinois, as projected, that probably wouldn't make it to ESPN tv unless they really start pushing the Huskies.

Well, wasn't BG at EMU on ESPNU last year? Who'd seen that one coming based off of 2006 results of both teams ... so anything is possible ...

ESPNU doesn't count as far as I'm concerned.

That's just because you don't (I presume) have it. Sucka.

For those of us who live nowhere near BG, ESPNU games most definately count for something.

I didn't use to count ESPNU, but then Time Warner finally got so to me it does count.

Nope. It wouldn't be Homecoming if it was played in Boise.

According to the Boise State website, the game with them is on 9/13. Unless something changes, BG would have back-to-back games at Boise State and at Wyoming.

I hope to god that we end up with a road game on 9/20. I'll be at the Tigers/Indians games that day.

Wow..you'll get to see the Tigers clinch the Central Division
