Any word on official bomber schedules for next year?

From the IC website:

Ithaca now gets a bye week during the season, as opposed to the first game

Do you guys think that the game on Sept. 23 against St. John Fisher at Fisher will decide the E8 championship again? Or is there a possibly that one of the other teams could make a run for those top two spots?

Dam, that schedule must have been posted 2 minutes after I posted that question!

[tecmobowler]

That kid from Naskayuna might be pretty decent, although I think Juvan is our main man for the next few years. 

The Nas kid attended a bunch of what appear to be pretty legit Nike Camps.

Here are Huntingdon's results from last year.

Date         Opponent                                Score
Sept. 10   at Sewanee •                           W 23-6     
Sept. 17   at North Carolina Wesleyan •      W 41-28     
Sept. 24   Rhodes •                                   W 16-12     
Oct. 1       Millsaps •                                  W 49-27     
Oct. 8       at Trinity (Texas) •                    L 15-10     
Oct. 15     Colorado College                      W 56-21     
Oct. 29     Southwest Assemblies of God      W 45-13     
Nov. 5      at Westminster (Mo.)                W 35-14     
Nov. 12    Maryville (Tenn.) •                     L 35-31     

They certainly look to be a quality opponent.  They were up in the 4th on Trinity (TX).

Not bad for a program that has only been around 3 years.

Why is a section 2 kid going to Ithaca? he must be weally smart.

[gobombers]

Looking at that schedule, the Springfield or Cortland games are the only realistic ones I can make.  DAMN!

[gobombers15]

Do they even still play football in the Capital region? I figured Troy HS and other teams were tired of getting whipped by Rochester and Syracuse teams.

[AUPepBand]

Fisher should just stay in their dorms this year.

Bombers- 66

Fisher-2

(Juvan takes a sympathy safety to end the game).

I just applauded you not for your comment but, for maybe the best screename we have seen added in a long time.

Man I miss going to that place at like 1 or 2 in the am after a friday or sat night out.

Are we talking about the Manos Diner on Rt. 13? Ate there many years ago to conclude a camping trip. Greeks know how to cook! Alfred's Collegiate Restaurant is Greek-owned (in the Ninos Family 50+ years) and Alex's (known for great pizza in Alfred) was once the "Alfred Lunch" owned by the late Alex Spyralatos (another Greek). But if you want late-night food in Alfred, DP Dough delivers.

[gobombers15]

Man do I miss DP Dough. Few things in life are better than ordering a Buffer Zone at 3am, passing out before the delivery man arrives only to be awoken to a DP Dough laying on your chest at 8am because that's where your roommate put it. They're excellent breakfast foods, too.

I'm not sure how many state titles the Deuce (section II) has won over the years... but it seems like each class is well represented in the dome year after year.

I convinced the little lady to get DP Dough a couple weekends back.  Man it was good.

Rochester D&C said today that Fehrenbach was getting an in-season tryout with Colorado or the Arena League.

[Caz Bombers]

The Buffalo News reports that St. Francis High School's Deke Tasker, son of Buffalo Bills Pro Bowler Steve Tasker, will either play for IC or attempt to walk on at Notre Dame.

[lumpy]

Taskers kid is visiting this weekend
