[Argonut]

According to the open dates list on this site the Argos have two open dates available for the first two weeks of 2022.

Thank you. I appreciate it. Please tell others. We want to continue to grow it.

There is no doubt that scheduling becomes more difficult when a program has become more successful. Certain scheduling practices by conferences doesn't help either.

Add in the fact that many good programs have their OOC games for the next 2-4 years already scheduled...

They would want no part of a home and home with West Florida. Nobody wants to play UWF so that is becoming a scheduling problem. Hats off to Texas A&M Commerce for agreeing to a home and home!

CSUP would also have zero problem with scheduling that game if they had open dates. You have a good program but relax a bit.

Although I sorta agree, It's not the implied fear of UWF that's the issue, as much as the almost universal custom in college football of playing the softest possible OOC schedule. But that's changing and one way to encourage this is giving strength of schedule more weight in the playoff selection process.

Everyone school has a travel budget, in most cases I'd say money is the issue. If UWF was willing to pay travel expenses, you'd have em lined up.

I'm guessing if it were that easy for GSC schools to schedule OOC D2 games DSU would not be playing UWG twice this season....

Yea, I'd guess that's a budget issue.

You would certainly know better than me so I stand corrected. A lot of talk from people in the program is that scheduling has become incredibly tough due to recent success. Sounds like they have a willing opponent in the future. Would love to see it! I really enjoy the content you put out on facebook with the columnist. I had not discovered that until this season.

Oddly quiet from Allendale...which is unusual in my experience....you may be right.

Huh? What is that meant to imply?

I have no knowledge if GV did or didn't make a contact. However, based upon current scheduling and history, I think GV has been known to play anyone. There are limits as travel isn't free. I'm not familiar with WF's history, but how's their track record for OOC games? Have they played much of anyone in the north?

WF may have some of the same issues as GV wrt scheduling, But there is some history with GV.

[West Florida]

Huh? GV will play anyone.

With a lot of conferences now filling all but maybe 1 slot available for OOC play, right now it makes it difficult for some scheduling options in the region. That may change once Conference Carolinas establishes football for it's existing and future members. I could easily see some of the Conference Carolina schools working out scheduling of some OOC games with many of the GSC schools, including West Florida (especially with some of the school's close ties with Coach Shinick).

I think they have called every respectable team in the country. Nobody wants a piece of the Argos. At this point you can throw your jr/sr stuff out the window. If you have the guts to play West Florida give them a call. If not, you don't want the smoke.

Actually, the protocol is for the junior to call the senior (NC not withstanding). Coach Shinnick should make that call.

They aren't official but Laker fans on this site are ready and willing to take on all comers and Lubbers Stadium would certainly be filled to overflowing for a visit from the Argos !! And, aside from the late summer heat, who wouldn't love a trip to the Pensacola area.

FWIW, GV recently had a home and home with DSU.
