Here is something I found online which seems to suggest our 2021 fall schedule. It looks like we have an open date on Sept. 11 and another on Oct. 9. I seem to recall seeing elsewhere that we may be hosting CCSU on Sept. 11. Oct. 9 would be a logical bye week since we begin the PL conference schedule the following week:
2021 Holy Cross Football Schedule
UConn Huskies Football Schedule

We need a 5th home game to get an 11 game schedule - I hope ADMB has that under control and is waiting for our spring season to end before making an announcement

That looks like a perfect OOC schedule

It's good, though I wouldn't say "perfect." It does follow the template I think we should (and are mostly) follow of:
1 FBS UConn is a good, possibly winnable FBS game but I'd rather more of a "reach" most years.
2-3 Ivies Preferably NE Ivies, for historical purposes and ability to attend on road.
1-2 Strong FCS, Monmouth does fit this bill now. Again, preferably NE CAA for the reason stated above for the Ivies though an "out of the box" every few years ala Montana, Delaware, Furman etc would be fun.
1-2 Very winnable on paper type FCS games....NEC, Pioneer, MEAC etc No offense to CCSU but they sort of fit this mold.
My perfect 11-game OOC schedule (in 2024 and 2025 we can schedule 12 games) would be something like this:
BC
Harvard
Yale
Montana
Pick your cupcake

Then again--maybe a autocorrect typo and you meant Monmouth? |

No I am serious....the once every 5-10 years "out of the box" FCS game...beautiful country, facilities etc....they are really one of the blue-bloods of the FCS historically.

Is my impression correct? If so, any thoughts as to why. |

On our open date of September 11 BC will be driving right through Worcester on their way to play at UMass. I hope CCSU gets inked. They are a good local opponent with convenient travel for either school that has to.

UConn may be the easiest opponent on that OOC schedule.

I loved the old BC rivalry back in the day. (My class finished 2-2 against the buggers and I was in attendance down in Chestnut Hill in November 1966 to see Lentz hit Kimener with the winning late 4th quarter TD pass in our 32-26 victory.) But those days are long ago and far away and the two schools now reside on different football planets. For me, a regular thrashing is too big a price to pay for a big pay day. -- My ideal out of conference sched would be a service academy or a weak FBS school and a combination of Ivies (any of 'em except Cornell and Columbia) and CAA schools like Delaware, Villanova, and New Hampshire. |

I've heard there is very likely to be a game at Polar Park, don't know which year.

Home and home with SDSU Jackrabbits. Or maybe we finally make the trip to the Fargo Dome and play the Bison. I would like to see more CAA opponents to pave the way for our future membership in all sports except hockey and basketball (Big East)š

They are a good local opponent with convenient travel for either school that has to. I am pretty sure BC will be in Amherst on 9/10 though. Why not save the $5-10K hotel expense and just purchase a triple-A membership to cover any bus breakdown on the Pike Saturday morning?š BC should be able to beat UMass even if the players have jet lag from the two hour bus trip. I do like the pairing however because both schools have to fly all over the country for many of their games. |

I've heard there is very likely to be a game at Polar Park, don't know which year. My sources seem to think that the āsurpriseā that ADMB alluded to earlier about the fall schedule may be a night game at Fitton or a game at Polar Park as part of their inaugural season. The game that seems to be getting the most chatter for either of those options is the Oct. 2 game vs. Harvard. |

The in-state opponent makes sense because Polar Park has and will receive much positive publicity in the MA. media this year. The most expensive minor league park ever built is one angle that whets an appetite to go see how nice it is. |

They are a good local opponent with convenient travel for either school that has to. I believe at the moment we open our 2022 season @ Buffalo and our 2023 season @ BC, so we have the Eagles back on the schedule in a couple of years. |

Canāt we go somewhere nice if weāre going to play an FBS team no one cares about and isnāt particularly close to Worcester? |
