Cayman Islands Classic

Sweetie and I just received our "marching orders" from the Cayman Islands Classic. I was wondering if there are any in this board who are planning on making that trip (?) It seems like there is a coterie of 6 or 8 folks whom we see each year at the MTE. Have come to know some of them on a first name...

OOC Schedule?

I am as thrilled with the roster development as the next guy. But, I can’t help but start thinking about the next big hurdle looming for this team organizing for the coming season … the Schedule. Now, I recollect there were a few “home-and-homes” agreed to in scheduling last season. There is the ret...

I noticed on the scheduling page it shows USU hosting Bradley on 11/11. Has this been confirmed, i did not see any information coming out? If so that is a solid home game.
is this one of those "conference challenge" arrangements? MWC v. MVC, or something?
