That last game of the year MIGHT be for all the marbles...

I hope Nova beats Penn like a crack addict behind on his payments.

Penn hasn't beaten us since 1911 (of course, we have only played 14 times total). 2 years ago, they came close, only to lose in heartbreaking fashion in OT.

Is the Penn game a real home game (on campus) or is it at Franklin Field again with nova being called the home team?

Kinda a tough schedule to build a following around. The first home game isn't until the middle of September, and then after those two games they're not home again until the latter part of October.

Penn is going to be a real home game apparently. Temple is in the city so it's almost a home game. They don't draw either, so I wouldn't be surprised with an even split in fans. We seem to have good crowds for that one.

And this is a little better than last year I think. At least for me, since I was at the first 5 or 6 games, I was in need of a break big time.

It was announced at Nova's FB banquet, that the graduating Seniors had never lost to UD.

Next year's Seniors (Szczur, Whitney, Ijalana, et al) will look to be the next class to have never lost to UD in 4 years. If this game is for all of the marbles, then Nova and the rest of the CAA has truly reached what the NFL calls Parity

Wouldn't surprise me to see Nova go 8-0 in the CAA, but if I was to make a wager I'd be on 7-1 or possibly even 6-2. The toughest league games for them I see, in this order:
-@ W&M
-@ UD
-@ Maine
-JMU

Although the first two games are 'away', Temple if virtually home, and Lehigh is only an hour's drive north. No reason the 'Cats shouldn't bring a good contingent to Goodman on 9/11 for our home opener!

6-5 and on the outside looking in come playoff-time.

The CAA released the conference schedule last Monday and your Non C games/dates were already know. There was nothing to piece together. If being informed is important may I respectfully suggest a transfer.

I don't see anything on the CAA website listing schedules. Our athletic department won't officially release the schedule until June probably.

Agree that the Cats should bring a good contingent to Goodman, but history suggests otherwise. The short drive hasn't translated into better attendance at Lehigh, despite both games being played in good (if not hot) weather.

Maybe a NC changes interest and there is a good turnout. I hope so. Lehigh should give the Cats a game this year. Not predicting a victory... just a solid game.
