Valley still hasn't released ours so you are better than us smh

I don't know why we can't find schools like Cumberland or refuse to play schools like Morehouse.

@96lioness yalls game against Valley is y’all home game or a road game?

Either way it goes ... having five home games is excellent. Now if y’all pulled off six, that’s gangster

This is too weird because as I type this I’m talking to my oldest daughter about our schedule, particularly the Valley game. LOL!

We play Valley in Itta Bena.

I don't understand how they have to go on the road three times to the West teams. Should that not always be 2 home and 2 road games?

Nice balanced schedule though. They could win 5-6 games this season.

is sdsu a home and home? who is cumberland univ phoenix and will they bring more than one CUP? don't like 2 DII or lower squads in one season, but you got 11 which some of our ADs can't do at all. morehouse to open the season should hopefully be a fun win for the pine bluff fan base.

Fi, I think it’s because Southern, Grambling, and TX Southern all played us in Arkansas last year. For as long as I can remember it’s been that way with all our the Conference opponents.

Don’t know yet if SDSU will be home & home.
Cumberland University is NAIA (located in Tennessee) and they’re Mid South.

Keep in mind that UAPB does NOT have an AD and most likely won’t have one officially in place until the fiscal year starts (July 1).

Kind of related but I wanna know how this is possible lol

Better Late than Never!
Basically same time frame last year, so they are consistent....

That's something the conference needs to correct to make it right for all the schools in each division. You should be playing 2 home and 2 away in your own division. I understand about the odd number from the other side.

Yes that’s crazy. I was at Walmart in Madison searching for JSU athletic apparel and I ran across this. Even worse that it’s a meac team with apparel in Mississippi.
