This has been discussed, but I'm not aware that any definitive announcement has been made relative to getting a 12th game on the FB schedule for Fall. Frankly, this is not good. That 12th game would likely be a home game, since it would not make sense to make the team travel 7 times and play at home only 5 times.
It's getting pretty late in the day to set up another game. What's up?

I agree that scheduling THE Ohio State University or Alabama would be unwise, but shouldn't we assume that the Aztecs might be able to beat the kind of team that would be the 12th 2015 date? After all, it's likely to be a member of the FCS. AzWm

Or a 13th game could be scheduled due to the Hawaii rule.We have four running backs and two qb's so plenty of depth to play 13 plus a bowl game 14 total like the big schools do.

I understand that there is a 6th home game TBA.

I've got a magnetic note pad and schedule calendar that remains on my refrigerator door(s), (a very understanding wife), since I got it in 1995. Home games that year were CAL, NEVADA, FSU, SAN JOSE ST, UNM, WYOMING, and CSU. Just for yucks I googled the road schedule that year, OKLAHOMA, BYU, UTAH, UTEP, HAWAII. Record that year was 8-4 with losses to OU, BYU, WYOMING and CSU.
I know there remains passion, sometimes toxic, for Aztec football, but as I look back some 20 years ago, and now, no one can argue this program has really made any strides over the decades. Really is hard to get excited about Aztec football in 2015, as it hasn't been, realistically, for some time, and for that matter, I continue to have a hard time believing that taking up prime Southern California land to build a stadium to accommodate this program would be good for the city of San Diego. I will continue to argue there would be more lucrative opportunities for this land once the Q is leveled and the Chargers are sent packing that city leaders would have
to consider as more viable options, (assuming they're intelligent enough to).
Reading an article in Sunday's LVRJ regarding the birth, development and growth of Summerlin on the heals of Green Valley, essentially "giving" this land to UNLV, as opposed to these lucrative growth opportunities, would have been as ridiculously tantamount as "giving" soon to be vacant Mission Valley land to State. (Instead, think Hazard Center stretching east for miles).
And as for State football? What has it earned?

Damn, that is, one, hard read, with all the excessive, punctuation and run, on and, on, and, on, and, on sentences.

Damn, that is, one, hard read, with all the excessive, punctuation and run, on and, on, and, on, and, on sentences. Plus, the thread is about a hole in our 2015 home schedule, not about the overall state of Aztec football/stadium/Hazard Center/etc. (I do agree that the program is really not much better, if at all, than in the '95/'96 period. But it is a lot better than in the 1999-2009 period. In any case, we need a 6th home game.) AzWm

Cal, Penn St and South Alabama + ??. Where does that home game come from? Even the Big Sky is booked in our first bye week.

AztecFootball is not working very hard to earn your money... Yeah, they want everyone to renew by the 16th...if so they should announce the 6th game before then. I'm thinking the 6th home game may not happen at all since they've been so quiet about it. If it was a sure thing they would at least announce that a 6th game is in the works.

FCS schools may be willing to move their schedule around to accommodate a payout game on Sept 5th, which is what they've been working on. Of course to do so they want to put us thru the ringer budget-wise, which I believe is the hold up.
I know 1 school was finalized but then backed out, which was beyond our control.
The whole thing is unfortunate, but a result of the whole SJSU issue. Put SDSU in a bad position with scheduling, and it's not like we can afford to throw millions at a team to get them to drop someone else. If we had P5 money to throw around this would be less of a problem, albeit still a problem.

I did the best I could to restructure this to make it more read-able and bolded what seem to the point of this post.
