Looks to be a pretty good schedule. We get to open the new stadium with a (most-likely) dominating win over one of the worst Div. I football teams in the nation (RPI: 232/245). Then we get an opportunity to go down to Tech and play the Cho...I mean Hokies. Followed by a nice bye week. Then we play Liberty at home. We then alternate home and away CAA games through the rest of the season.

Overall it's not a terrible schedule and isn't as bad as last year. But we also end up as the only CAA team to not play Rhode Island, which next year should by quite a bit be the worst team in the conference. We can pretty much expect a loss against VT and then we have to survive the gauntlet of the last 5 weeks, which should be against at least a few teams who could make the playoffs. Richmond will not be nearly as good this year as last year after losing a lot of seniors. Make sure to get your tickets early, because the Ticks are moving into their new mini-stadium this year that holds a whopping 9000 people. We brought nearly that many in 2008. An interesting sidenote: our stadium currently (considering the East stands aren't there) holds as many as their new stadium does.

Next year is looking pretty good so far. New recruits are coming in, which could include at least 2 quarterbacks. This gives us 3 available QB's and another 2 to redshirt...can't wait for that QB battle...

And for another note, the playoffs have expanded to 20 teams (2 more conferences with autobids and 2 more at-larges). This means there's one extra round to get it down to the normal 20 teams. The NCAA Championship game has also been moved to January 9, 2011.

Nov. 27 - NCAA Playoffs, First Round
Dec. 4 - NCAA Playoffs, Round of 16
Dec. 11 - NCAA Playoff Quarterfinals
Dec. 17-18 - NCAA Playoff Semifinals
Jan. 9 - NCAA Championship Game
