Interesting, looks like that game against SEMO isn’t happening.
Nope, replaced with Taylor.
SEMO has Southern Illinois on 9/16 — a good cross river rivalry for them both.
I love how the Patriot League schools play the NAIA schools. Is that a fair fight? I live close to Marist, hit a game or two each year, and they never play NAIA schools. Of course, there aren’t a ton to choose from in NY.
Marist plays Bucknell, Georgetown and Columbia, no NAIA schools.
Not sure I like FCS schools playing NAIA schools
Thoughts?
