Longtime reader, second-time poster... if there has already been a thread about this, I do apologize for wasting your time...

I was talking to a friend on the team the other day who said Miles asked the team to vote on it and they said yes... it will be first game of the season on national television... has anyone heard anything?

Have not heard anything about that. That would be a nice team to open up with IMO.

It has been discussed, but nothing definite from what has been posted.

wait. aren't we also scheduled to play the Mountaineers in 2010??

Don't take me wrong, I love to have two strong OOC teams in any year but I just want to know for sure.

Heard today from a UNC Booster that this is correct and should be announced soon. Great scoop Mike.

Unless something has changed since I last read it posted on here I thought UGA was the front runner to get that game.

i hope this game is at home, there is know real need for us to go on the road and play a sub par UNC team, if it was at home i may be able to understand. It just seems excessive to have UNC and WVU the same year, but it would be some great media exposure

IF they are playing UNC then it is more than likely going to be in Atlanta (ACC-SEC kickoff challenge or whatever). I am personally all for it. It is great exposure for the program.

I know Mark Richt was less than pleased with this year's out-of-conference schedule (@ Ok State, vs Arizona State, and @ Ga Tech) so I wouldn't be surprised if he got in the ear of Damon Evans to try and get an easier OOC schedule for 2010. That could be what happened.

So this is how the schedule gets decided.

By 2010 they likely won't be subpar

Exactly. Hell, they probably won't be subpar this year.
