Re: Colgate Future Schedules
Very cool
Also nice to see some names on schedules past 2011. Northeastern and UMass are great adds, and I think Dartmouth could use the break (I think they could use some kind of variety to their schedule)
Hopefully this includes some Ivy matchups with schools we haven't played in a while like Brown (or played ever like Harvard/Penn)

Junior Ivy and I attended the '95 Harvard-Colgate game in Hamilton. We did have a home-and-home back in that era. Harvard also played Fordham a couple of times back then. Would like to see those series renewed!xthumbsupx

Hey - those were the glory days of Fordham football!

WHY not get scollies and play beyond the IVY league?
Re: Colgate Future Schedules
I'd love to play beyond the Ivies. I love the Furman game, the CAA matchups, the Air Force game. But I don't think we ought to just jettison the Ivy games so easily
Even with an 11 game schedule, we still get 5 OOC games, which is plenty of room for a variety of opponents, Ivy and otherwise
Plus, I'm also operating under the assumption the schedule will have a bunch of Ivies anyway. Figure I might as well put my xtwocentsx in for some more variety there as well
Re: Colgate Future Schedules
Nice schedule, gate fans!
This does beg the question of whether or not this would impact the Ivy relationship. While I'm sure it would, a quick look of their 2008 schedule shows a good number of scholarship schools on it (Towson, Villanova, New Hampshire, Stony Brook, etc.).
While it might hurt the PL-Ivy relationship, it certainly doesn't appear that it would preclude them scheduling us.
Re: Colgate Future Schedules
I think with scholarships, you would see Colgate play more of its traditional "stretch" games with I-A schools, including Duke, Penn State, Rutgers, Army, Syracuse and others. You might also see a Vanderbilt or Rice on the schedule.

I have to think Colgate would want to schedule Fordham if the Rams do in fact leave the PL (obviously I hope it doesn't come to that, but well...)
To be fair though, of that list of scholarship schools we play, Villanova and UNH were playoff opponents, and not actively sought out for games. Though, in the last 6 years (since I've been following in 2003), we've scheduled these scholarship schools:
Buffalo
UMass (4 times)
Albany
Towson
Stony Brook
Coastal Carolina
Furman
The last 5 were just in the past 2 seasons. This coming year we've got Monmouth and Stony Brook again, so we're certainly not afraid of scheduling non-Ivy opponents xthumbsupx

And I believe Albany is Colgate next year, right?
