2025 Football Schedule

[Lobot]

i'm seeing another string of noon time games for us...............

It's about time zones and broadcast windows. Expect this to be the norm going forward. They're going to schedule the Eastern Time teams home games as early as possible unless we're playing the Mountain time teams at home. This is so they can maximize window coverage across all 4 time zones.

Georgia Tech will play at Colorado on the first Friday night of the season.

I think its also due to no one, nationally, has any interest in this team, at this time

Ok, so Friday night I am driving from Northern Virginia to my home in TN, and I have an ESPN radio station on and Greg McElroy is giving his breakdown (FWIW) for the Big 12 for the 2025 season. I'll try to give the Cliff notes version from memory:

UC (just 'meh' ...McElroy had the least amount of airtime dedicated to the Bearcats team)

GM was very high on BYU, ASU (especially if their transfer portal replacement at rb for Skataboo works out), and TTU

Coaching staff changes at KU, Houston, Baylor should help; very high on UH incoming transfer QB Wegemann if he can be healthy

New HC's at WVU and UCF will get them headed in the right direction, but possibly 1 to 2, maybe 3 years away

GM really likes KSU's QB but they need to get him some weapons at receiver, he is looking for a big rebound year for KU because he said when you have year that everything goes wrong (injuries, etc.), it is usually followed by a good year. GM was perplexed by OSU's poor season last year because going into the year he thought they'd be good - so he didn't really have high expectations for the Cowboys this year if I recall correctly, same for Arizona.

BGSU is a very solid team. Don't view that game as an easy win. In fact, the only "for sure" win that I see is Northwestern State. Maybe when we finish 3-9, Cunningham will realize that CSS is just another "Dave Curry", and let him go, and then get somebody in who resonates with the players and city.

B.C.

I think Cunningham should get the axe first... along with many others. New AD first, then new coaches for both teams.... unless they both have big turnarounds this year.

John's looking really bad here but we'll probably be the only thing on so who knows.

Since Cunningham's performance was brought up I decided to see how schools evaluate their AD's. Near the top of the list is standing in the Director's Cup race.It is a formula which considers team success,all sport championships ,revenue, alumni support,etc. No 1 for 23-24 wasTexas.Ohio State was 15.UC was 259 out of 262 division 1 schools.That is an absolute disgrace and embarrassment.Yet 2 years later he is still AD.Think of all the completely irrelevant schools that exceeded our point total. Texas' AD point total was 1377. Cunningham's was 29! Talk about humiliating. It makes me wonder why we even bother supporting our teams.Either JC or UC must take us diehard fans for fools

No one at UC had any choice regarding the kickoff time. The B12 and ESPN worked this out. ESPN has the Boise State @ USF game before the UC-NE game. I don't know why UC's game is the nightcap, other than it's the more premier game. Even though college football isn't huge out West, I'm sure Disney wanted the Pacific Coast people home after work and ready to watch a weeknight game when the NFL isn't yet playing..
