EMU at UDM on November 21st. EMU schedule revealedBTW, it's now permitted branding to use UDM Titans after the first mention of the university's full name. Don't think that's a recent change, it's been in the school's written branding guidelines for a while now.

Hard to get super excited about the non-conference schedule--but for mid-majors these days, that's almost always the case. Some observations:
1. I like playing Wayne--if you're going to play an exhibition, it's a good game. It will draw some fans, and it will be better competition than playing an NAIA or D-3 squad as is most teams do. Of course, it's really embarrassing if we lose, but I think Coach Davis will do better than Bacari.
2. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I think the Ohio, CMU and SIUE games are return games on our part, and the EMU game a return game in our favor, and those contracts are wrapped up. 3. Again, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that leaves Toledo and Ball State as the front end of home and homes. I assume we'll owe Ball State a game next year, but we'll get Toledo at home. 4. The big question mark for me--anyone know the answer?--is Loyola Marymount. If that's the front end of a home and home, that's a good game lined up for us next year. If we're being bought, I can't get too excited--a lot of travel for what is probably a relatively low payday. 5. Give the staff some credit--we're in the top 1/4th of teams for release date. Lotta mid-majors still scrambling.

All games are within driving distance with the exception of Loyla nc state and Edwardsville. Does anyone know if there will be bus trips going to these away games like last year

Last year the bus to Cincinnati didn't come close to capacity, a Titan Club Board member dipped deeply into his own pocket to cover costs incurred. There has been some talk of chartering smaller capacity buses this season which would provide a more feasible break even point for a road trip. Until tip times are announced it is somewhat difficult to consider which matchups might be most attractive to the fan base.

4 home games in Nov/Dec? only 13 home game in total, out of 32 games, did I count that right.

I am upset that the HL put the Oakland-at-Detroit game during Christmas break, no students on campus, while the Detroit-at-Oakland game is a weekend in March.

Also, 826,000 reasons (626,000 HC, 200,000 Top Assistant) to schedule all those buy games.

Sam, I really think they need the money, I can't see them losing money for home games, they're paying the visiting teams, and even at a $10,000 or less gate, they should be ok.
