    Problem with IUP vs Ashland to open the season is somebody has to lose.

    IUP went 2-0 in that series by the skin of its teeth. Easily could have lost both.

    Ashland has that old Bobby Bowden philosophy. Anybody. Anywhere. They just signed a two-year with Notre Dame. IUP had that under Frank. He'd play anybody and loved that big game vibe.

    Times are different. The money is certainly different. Now it really comes down to is an 11th game financially worth it. Maybe. Maybe not. Well, probably not.

        So, as of now we have just 6 out of 16 teams playing a Week 1 game. That sucks.

            Have to think that will change...

Pitt would rather play YSU yearly than Duquesne. The Dukes would be a big gate at Heinz and a logical opener every year. That YSU opener draws like crap every year.
              Duquesne opens the 2021 season at TCU on Sept. 4; Louisville opens the season Sept. 6 in Atlanta against Ole Miss. Their other out-of-conference game is at Ohio in Athens.

              Duquesne does open the 2022 season at Florida State and has an away game at Hawaii.

              I don't think that Duquesne would even be on WVU's radar, to be honest, to say nothing about State Penn or THE Overrated State University. You do have a few MAC schools within a reasonable driving distance (less than three hours) of Duquesne (Akron, Kent, Buffalo).

              I get Pitt and Duquesne have a fierce pi$$ing match when it comes to ego.
              That could be a reason why the City Game in men's basketball was interrupted a couple of years ago.

                It's not a matter of when Triple Fake Notre Dame leaves the MEC for the GMAC, but when, if you read the tea leaves (any true college foosball fan knows the Real Fake Notre Dame are those Domers in South Bend).

                    Looks like Ship is bringing West Virginia State into town on 9/4.

                      So that just leaves Cal. (I'm assuming IUP will stick with 10 games.)

                        That's a very quality OOC game for Shippensburg. WV State has been decent in the MEC and should provide great test and bar for what us fans should expect this upcoming season.

                          Its probably safe to assume Cal is working on an OOC game since their schedule is not yet posted.

                            Tiffin is still open week 1 and IUP has refused to play them, perhaps Cal will step up to the challenge.

                              IUP has no reason to add an 11th game with its schedule this year.

                                Go 8-2 and you're likely left at home. There's your reason.
