How does one start-up a new football program...Old Dominion University is doing just that, with 2009 being it's very first season...
Recruiting has gone well, and they have a couple of games lined up...
Interesting story on how things are going for the Monarchs...

Re: Old Dominion Recruiting
Nice article. I would imagine that the school and the community would be pretty excited to have football starting up.

I half expected to see ODU on our schedule since I think the two University presidents are friends. Or at least they swapped jobs back in the early 90's. Maybe the counter part isn't at ODU anymore.

Hay, maybe Blaine Taylor can lend his clout to the situation and get Montana and ODU to play...

Re: Old Dominion Recruiting
Also you could exchange that joke of a first game for a better one and play ODU instead of Western State!putter wrote:Ursus A.

You may want to dial down the scedule rhetoric as that is exactly what people have been saying about us playing your team for the last couple of years.SUUTbird wrote:Also you could exchange that joke of a first game for a better one and play ODU instead of Western State!putter wrote:
