2006 SoCon Pre-Season Schedule Previews
|
- Wofford: The terriers of
Wofford have the most challenging schedule
in the SoCon for 2006. Their opener is against
what should be a very good S. Carolina State
club. This is followed by Coastal-Carolina
and a trip to S. Carolina. The final non-conference
game is against Gardner-Webb. In SoCon action,
Wofford will visit GSU and ASU …while
hosting Furman.
- Chattanooga: The Mocs
will open up 2006 with three straight road
contests. The first will be at what should
be a very solid, and improving, Tenn.-Tech
program, followed by IA Memphis …and
closing the trip in Bowling Green vs. perennial
power Western Kentucky. November will bring
a visit from OVC power Jacksonville State
for the final OOC game. In conference play,
Chatty will face GSU and ASU at home, while
having to travel for the contest with Furman.
- Citadel: The Citadel did
not end up with the SoCon’s most difficult
schedule, despite having two IA traditional
powers on their schedule. The Bulldogs will
travel to both Texas A&M and Pitt in 2006.
Additional OOC games include home tilts with
VMI and Charleston Southern. The conference
slate will see ASU and Furman away, with GSU
coming to Johnson Hagood Stadium.
- Elon: Elon have a very
balanced schedule in 2006. The OOC portion
includes a trip to Coastal-Carolina and N.
Carolina A&T. Non-conference contests
at home will include Towson and Presbyterian.
The Phoenix’ SoCon slate will include
trips to ASU, GSU, and Chattanooga …
with the remainder in Elon.
- Furman: The Paladins have
a schedule that can put them back into the
post-season in 2006. The OOC portion includes
the Tar Heels of North Carolina, JSU, Coastal,
and a sub-IAA game. The conference slate sees
games with GSU and ASU split …with the
Paladins hosting the Eagles in the final game
of the regular season.
- Appalachian St.: The “men
of Boone” will look to defend their
national title with a very nice schedule in
2006. Non-conference action includes IA North
Carolina St and a good match-up with JMU.
Also, the Mountaineers will travel to face
Gardner-Webb, and host a sub-IAA. In conference
action, the games against GSU and Furman are
split …but back-to-back on 10/21 and
10/28. The battle for the “Old Mountain
Jug” will be at Western Carolina this
year.
- Western Carolina: Western
Carolina wishes this was already October,
as they will face Eastern Kentucky, GSU, and
Furman in September. There will be another
OOC game in November, as the Cats travel to
Liberty. In addition, their last two games
of the regular-season will be for the “jug”
against ASU, and a late fall trip to Florida
to play the Gators.
- Georgia Southern: Everyone
looks to see the new Eagles offense, as coach
VanGorder has plenty of talent to work with.
The schedule is very conducive to a team with
a new staff as well. The non-conference portion
of the schedule is relatively light …featuring
Coastal, a very good NDSU, a new I-AA team
in Central Ark., and a non-scholarship CCSU.
This schedule will feature 7 home games.
