Good luck to Coach Duncan and Rhodes.   Looks like a great hire for them.

I see where Berry has a game at Wisconsin-Whitewater this season. Nice non-conf pickup there. Big challenge. Anybody know if this is a home-and-home? if we are still open that week next season I would be tempted to drive up for that.

Hendrix 2021 schedule announced today featuring 2 neutral site games:

9/4 @ Austin College
BYE
9/18 vs Howard Payne (neutral at Children's Health Stadium in Prosper, TX)
BYE
10/16 @ Rhodes
10/9 vs BSC
10/2 @ Centre
10/23 vs Berry
10/30 @ Trinity
11/6 vs Millsaps (neutral at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, AR)
11/13 @ Sewanee

Only 3 "home" games and traveling to Centre, Trinity, and Sewanee in the same season is fairly brutal...

[BSCpanthers]

Still waiting for BSC to post the schedule.  Although I could probably put it together from all the other teams that have posted theirs.

[BSCpanthers]

Did my research, and building off others posted schedule this is what BSC's schedule will be.

Sep 4-Lagrange 6:00pm
Sep 11-Huntington 6:00pm

Oct 2-Sewanee
Oct 9- @Hendrix 1:00pm
Oct 16- @Centre 12:00pm
Oct 23- Rhodes
Oct 30- @Berry 2:00pm
Nov 6- Trinity
Nov 13- @Millsaps 1:00pm

I am missing an out of conference game that I can't find.  Not sure if all times are eastern or central, probably a combination of both.  I had thought we had an OOC game in Virginia, but I have checked every DIII in Virginia and couldn't find anyone with us on the schedule.  I sure hope we have someone on schedule, would really not like a 9 game schedule and a 3 week break after week 2.

EDIT:  Maybe the game in Virginia fell through, and they are waiting for another OOC game to be firmed up before releasing the schedule.

Sewanee's schedule seems unusually loaded with home games this year.   
Sewanee's schedule has at least one new name in our OOC slate.   Looks like we're going to the far hinterlands to open the season with a trip up to MN. We're far enough into Coach Rundle's tenure on the Mountain that one hopes to see some better results this year. 

9/4   at St. Scholastica
9/11   at Washington and Lee
9/18   Westminster (Mo.)
10/2   at Birmingham Southern
10/9   Rhodes
10.16 at Berry
10/23 Trinity
10/30 at Millsaps
11/6   Centre
10/13 Hendrix

[BSCpanthers]

With Austin leaving the conference this year, we all gained an extra OOC game, which can mine a lot of fun.  See new teams and spread our SAA wings for better conference standing.  I know a school in the New England conference just called it quits, so there are teams that are going to need a game.  Also, we have a road game to give, we can go to them and play them.  So if we have firmed up our 3rd OOC game, we shouldn't have a problem getting it.  Just may have to go further away to get there then previously expected.

Salisbury has an opening.

[Hawks88]

With Averett leaving for the ODAC next year the USA South will be back to 3 OOC games so that will be a chance to set up some good matchups. Our games we used to have with Millsaps were usually good games. Maybe we can get that one going again.

5 home, 5 away, but you do get 4 of 7 SAA games at home.  With an odd number of teams in the conference now it's going to break that way every other year.

[albatross]

More USA South-SAA matchups would be fun. I do think that we may see more Texas/ASC OOC matchups for Hendrix given that many recruits, players, and coaches have Texas ties...

Just a guess, though!

Was definitely thinking conference schedule.   Could see that being a plus for any of the conference teams in this situation who are contending for a championship.

Note that with Austin going from SAA to ASC for football there's only one OOC opportunity for each ASC team (the same as in years past as Louisiana College is leaving D3 for NAIA next season).

Salisbury has an opening.

September 18th and October 9th are the openings. Already have 5 home games, pretty sure they are willing to travel. Can meet at neutral site if contract is setup adequately and approved by each AD and neutral site location.
