2014 SoCon schedules

[catamount man]

With the conference adding VMI and Mercer for 2014 football, so far looks like the schedules will wind up the same as this year. Here is what I know, based on reliable bartenders and news clippings, Western Carolina will host, again, both Wofford and The Citadel in 2014 and go to Mercer. VMI will also come to Cullowhee Nov 15. I would assume to balance things out, the cats will go back to Chattanooga. Don't know where we will face Furman yet.

Home - VMI, Wofford, The Citadel
Road - Mercer, (assume - UTC, Furman, Samford)

The Furman folks ain't happy about 2 in a row at EL CID. GO CATS!

Is there a list of the changes for the whole conference. Wofford is always secretive about our schedule, which is usually the last SoCon schedule to be released.

No offense, but if we had to double-up an away game, I would have preferred it to be Citadel - we play them better in Chucktown than we do at home (and the stadium is closer to my house)

It's my understanding Furman will play at the Citadel again and will also play at Mercer.

I don't particularly care about Furman playing twice at the Citadel. Charleston's nice and I enjoy seeing Furman win at Johnson Haygood.

Furman will also play at VMI November 1.

So Furman plays…
@Citadel
@VMI
@Mercer

that leaves…
Wofford
Samford
Chatty
Western

I can't see Furman agreeing with this without getting a game back.
This seems very unfair that Citadel now gets Samford, Chatty, and Furman every other year from here on out.
I can't see Furman going from playing a balanced league schedule 4/4 to 5/2 home and away.
Some body is coming back to Paladin Stadium, or we're getting screwed.

That would give Furman in 2015… which I think will be a very good year for FU.
Citadel at home
VMI at home
Mercer at home
Samford at home
Wofford at home
road games @Western, Chatty, and ETSU

I want a home game again next season with Wofford, or Samford.

I don't think ETSU plays a conference schedule until 2016. Football restarts earlier, but they will not play on conference their first year.

I doubt Wofford would go to FU next year since we are already doubling away games with WCU. Samford would be more likely.

Jeebus Dude one would think that being a vermin person and from South Carolina you would know the history of your own State. This is General and Governor Johnson Hagood.

I have ties to SC, but I am certainly not from there.

However, if that facial hair style ever came back en vogue, I'd be right on board.

It's really hard to speculate at this point. I know Samford is probably not happy with having road games to all of the South Carolina teams in the same year. Would be a really tough sell if they continued to travel to those three schools and had to add on a road trip to Lexington or Johnson City.

I'm happier about the prospect of getting two in a row against Sammy in Charleston. I'm not really as concerned about Furman.
