January 2nd
Leave it to me to screw up the date. Haha. Thanks.
These are all very good match-ups. Let’s just hope our guys are healed up and focused. All things considered, 7-6 would be a respectable record for team 118. Already can’t wair for team 119’s debut.
I think it’s an excellent draw for the guys in orange: great location, great date and what I consider a beatable opponent from a major conference.
Thanks for the comment, sameolvol.
it would have been better for recruitment if they had landed in either NC or Memphis,but it is hard to be picky,since they have made a BOWL game 🙂
