So now we visit SFA for the last home game of the season giving us 5 home and 7 away games. And that makes us end the season with 3 straight away games. Surely SFA is paying us a handsome fee for visiting them in November. Bunch of bums…

It stinks worse than durian but at least we still maintained an all DI schedule. I seriously hoped we could have scheduled a PL school to fly out and play us here and we wouldn't have to do all this moving around and end of season road show. I also seriously hope SFA gets blown out by every UAC school they play as a parting gift...

Three straight road games to finish the season is very undesirable, especially since we get almost no fan support for road games. Bummer.

Dallas, road games tend to do better when we have large alumni bases. There have been games at UIW (before they got good) and HBU when ACU has as many people in the stands as the home team. But, ACU has large alumni bases in both Houston and San Antonio. I don't think there is a single ACU alumni in Cedar City or St George, UT. So, the only ACU fans in the stands are team family members.

If SFA is the best we can do then I understand, but I would have loved a home game to wrap up what has been promised our best season of the current era. That prediction gets a little harder with three in a row on the road.
Won/Loss Prediction: 7-5 but time will tell.

Our 2024 ends up being very tough but if can end winning the biggest part of it, including the road matches at the end, we will prove play-off ready. The point is, we have to prove we can play tough schedules and be tough when the tough time comes. This schedule will show what we are made of.

Also in response to Trackfan, road games in or near the large Texas metro areas can be good recruiting tools. Alumni bring their kids.

[Because we priced season ticket packages based on having six home games, you will receive a credit to your account to make up for this reduction. This credit – equal to one-sixth of the total cost of your ticket package – can be used for an extra ticket to one 2024 home football game or can be put toward single-game or season tickets for men’s and women’s basketball or baseball during the 2024-25 season. It can also be put toward 2025 football season tickets but must be used by Sept. 1, 2025.

One was from Cedar City and the other from St. George. Small world, huh!

interestingly, our schedule is the same as before SFA. It’s just been shuffled around. I suspect that the SFA game is a home and home the next 2 years. If we win the UAC auto qualifier, then the SFA game doesn’t mean a lot. The big game will be at Tarleton. We owe them big time.
I don’t especially like the “credit” to my ticket account. But at the end of the day that’s okay, I guess.

But at the end of the day that’s okay, I guess. The shuffling will make a difference though with the 3 game road show. I never like playing SFA in Nac, regardless of whether or not it is a conference game. I completely agree on owing Tarleton... I still say we owe SFA a nice little send off as well.
