Eagles to NYC next fall

[clawman1]

I was stoked to see us add a new opponent in Fordham. Then I see it's a one game series and I'm left scratching my head. Why do we do these one offs?

How many other teams are still looking for a game on that specific date for next year? Maybe there are not many options for a game, any game?

Too bad we couldn't find a Pac-12 school that needed a game. This might be a fun one though.

Times are tough...taking a one game away series to New York. After expenses what do you think we make(or how much will that cost us)? So Fordham in New York a week after NDSU then all the way back home to rest/heal up and get ready to play at Montana...glad we have a good team. 1st four games next season;

9/2 at Texas Tech
9/9 North Dakota State
9/16 at Fordham
9/23 at Montana*

I thought this could be a great experience for the kids if they get an extra day or two to spend in the area...but with this schedule, it is going to be a killer in regards to travel time.

If I were to ever become successful enough to hire people, I would hire Dopa. When it comes to scheduling he is so... passionate. There would never be a error in my appointments.

Although it sucks that we don't get a home game out of the deal, I'm pretty excited to play Fordham. They get to play pretender so often in that terrible conference and their fans get so cocky from beating bad teams. I would love to see EWU go in, kick the crap out of them and chalk it up as a D1 win.

The Patriot is fully funding schollies now. Colgate won two playoff games last year against CAA opponents on the road and the league is competing with the CAA on a regular basis.

Not the PFL of old.
