FB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

[jknezek]

The ODAC is assigned to Region 3 for football, that includes the PAC, SAA, and USASAC conferences. For what it's worth, that becomes an interesting regional. Berry has been the power out of the SAA lately, W&J is always around the top of the PAC. Those are teams not many ODAC schools have faced. I don't actually expect this to have much of an impact on... well, anything other than the playoff regional rankings, but it would be cool if it did have some impact on scheduling and teams branched out a bit. Unfortunately, the SAA is a geographic disaster, the USASAC teams tend to be relatively isolated, and the PAC is going to have no interest in either conferences except maybe Centre and our own Shenandoah. So as far as Regions go, it's going to be a crappy one for cross regional play. That won't help make the rankings real effective.

This building is long overdue, especially for football facilities.

That is interesting. I did the math. R-MC is 92-43 from 2007-2019. Not sure if the 5-0 record from this spring's schedule is included. In the 13 seasons from '07-'19 the Jackets have had only two non-winning seasons -- 5-5 in '14 and 4-6 in '15.

Quick question from a RMC Newby...

Does RMC do season tickets?

[R-MC Guy]

No, but if you have a son playing, he will get enough tickets to get you into all of the games free of charge.

[RandyMac_Dad]

Thanks R-MC Guy!!

I guess I will put that towards the Gridiron Club!!

The facilities at RMC look great!  I know that our fans really appreciate RMC spending all that money so that we have a place to sit. Why else would that have built them?  No one else comes to their games! 

I'm kidding (kinda) and I'm very jealous especially of the weight room.

Providing you a place to sit to see another HSC loss in THE GAME is the least that RMC can do for their HSC brethren.

I agree.  But the last time they updated facilities turning their East- West disaster of a field into a North South turf field HSC won -2013. Maybe we can replicate that this fall.

As I said before, HSC was much more competitive in the spring game and much improved over previous years.  RMC will be even better this fall, so I'm not sure HSC will break through this year.

[HSCTiger fan]

I don't doubt on paper RMC looks better but I can think of several ODAC teams that should have been pretty good on paper following a great year that fell flat of expectations HSC 2014 vs 2013, WL 2016 vs 2015, BW 2020 vs 2019, Guilford went 6-1 in ODAC play in 2015 and has only won 7 conference games since. The ODAC has historically been a difficult conference to predict.

Another quick RMC question.

Do they livestream their home games?  I notice on website schedule shows most away games are livestream but doesn't appear Home games are.

Thanks.

Go Jackets!!!
