buddy's planning a wedding and was curious if anyone has an idea of who were playing this week and/or if we're home or away?

thx
 
At this point we do not know who we play the 6th of September. My guess is it will be a conference game. The 30th of August (or possibly the 28th) we play Jacksonville State and we play Miss State on September 20th. A lot depends on who we play as the 12th game. The original date of the Army game was October 11th so if we play I-AA it will probably be that date. This would mean ACC on the 6th and 13th of September: one probably home, one probably away (BC?)

yeah it's tough b/c we'll have 2 byes:

Aug 30: Jax

Sep 6:
Sep 13:
Sep 20: Miss. St.
Sep 27:

Oct 4:
Oct 11: Was Army
Oct 18:
Oct 25:

Nov 1:
Nov 8:
Nov 15:
Nov 22:
Nov 29: UGA

So 11 slots to fill 9 teams...I'm guessing Nov 22 will be a bye
 
Unfortunately the ACC schedule is late

being released. At least it's already later than the past three years. In the past it has been released by the 4th Wednesday in January. I'm sure it has to do with the fact that multiple ACC teams are still trying to line-up 12th games.

Legalbuzz is probably right though that Tech will probably have a conference game that weekend. Although it wouldn't be out of the question to have two OOC games to open the season, though if it's a 2nd 1-AA team then I doubt they'd be back-to-back.

From a GTAA perspective, if there is a 2nd 1-AA/FCS team then it would be best if it could slide into the spot vacated by Army and then it could be Homecoming. Most GT fans are going to show up for homecoming regardless of opponent, so if a 2nd FCS team is necessary then this could bring in the highest gate. Jax St should have good attendance since it's the season opener and Tech fans will be excited to see the first game of the CPJ era. So if the GTAA can manage to get both FCS games scheduled on "prime" weekends then there's a better chance that all 7 home games will be closer to sell-outs since the rest will all be ACC games.

BTW, it's been driving me crazy (mostly b/c I'm OCB when it comes to planning) that we still don't know the 12th opponent, much less the 2008 schedule.

Whats OCB?
 
OCB = Obsessive Compulsive Behavior

I wouldn't call it a Disorder, per say (OCD). :D
 
JTS and I were groomsmen at a buddy's wedding, that was the day of the GT Clemson FB game. His family was Clemson, her family was GT. Had the "backup" Ramblin Wreck at the wedding even. Some people schedule weddings at inopportune times because it makes it easier to keep the guest list of reasonable size. Some just go along with whatever the wife wants.

beej67,
does note that it was an away game..
