Mar 6-9 Arch Madness

[BrockLesnar]

Will need a least one A10. Maybe, another 4 season contract with George Mason, Richmond, St Boneventure, and St Joseph. I don't need to see Loyola anytime soon. Perhaps, give the MWC and the WCC a call too.

[sevelev711]

"More buy games against mediocre P5s, please," I say, knowing damn well we won't get any.

[PantherFan]

Jon Rothstein says UNI in the 2023 Battle for Atlantis. North Carolina, Villanova, Arkansas, Michigan, Memphis, Oklahoma, and Stanford also there.

[BCPanther]

Comfortable confirming that North Texas is returning the game next year.

[BrockLesnar2]

That's a decent start. Maybe, out of the 11 NC have a three game tournament, two SWAC at home, one non-division 1 at home, one road power 6, one A10 H-H, one AAC H-H, one MAC H-H, and one MWC H-H.

[Panther Fan]

Does anyone know if we have MTE lined-up?

[BCPanther]

Does anyone know if we have MTE lined-up?

Haven't heard anything but we're eligible for both the Paradise Jam and Cancun. I'm guessing it's one of those.

[BCPanther]

We bought Montana for a game on Dec 22nd.

That's a nice choice.

[BCPanther]

Haven't heard anything but we're eligible for both the Paradise Jam and Cancun. I'm guessing it's one of those.

It's not the Paradise Jam. Illinois State is in that field.

I've heard both the Cancun Challenge and SoCal Challenge but haven't been able to get anything confirmed.

[Wxcpanther]

Men's paradise jam is filled already, I guess that would leave Cancun unless we fall to something less prestigious, but that seems unlikely.

[BCPanther]

The Montana game is actually a Home and Home. I don't know how I feel about that now.

We'll return it Nov 14th, 2025.

Hopefully it's part of a longer trip out there or something related to the 2025 MTE.

[UNIpanther99]

Going on the road to start this season hasn't worked out well for us, but Montana seems more winnable than at North Texas and South Florida.

[BCPanther]

We bought Milwaukee for November 8th. $75k guarantee.

Hey, looks like we're actually going to play some home games this year!

Makes ya wonder if we've had any other communications with the AD at UW Milwaukee..........
