Re: 2026 Schedule Themes
Not really. In my world, Black Saturday is also tomorrow. And next Saturday. And the one after that…

Re: 2026 Schedule Themes
I can kind of see that actually. Thursday night games are not typically as well attended.as Saturday. Maybe that is part of the plan..get families up early for family weekend...long weekend in Boone..spend some money

Re: 2026 Schedule Themes

Re: 2026 Schedule Themes

Re: 2026 Schedule Themes
ODU Homecoming is on Fall Break. Gillin said the Sun Belt typically doesn't give App a home game on Fall Break weekend, but this couldn't be avoided.

Re: 2026 Schedule Themes
Is that right? Per University Calendar looks like Fall Break is Monday/Tuesday the 5th & 6th, so the weekend prior. The ODU game is on the 10th.

Re: 2026 Schedule Themes
Good point. Gillin definitely said ODU was during Fall Break at the recent BOT meeting and that it would be a challenge.
