Wish MD would play Navy more often
Been saying for years that I wish the Crab Bowl was an annual thing. The 2010 game in M&T on Labor Day was an amazing game, ending with that epic goal line stand by the Terps with Kenny Tate diving over the line to stop Ricky Dobbs.

I'm thinking Navy is probably less inclined to play MD than vice-versa.

Yeah, everything I've ever heard is that the reluctance is on their end, not Maryland's.

With them joining the AAC, plus their rivalry games with Army, Air Force and ND, it only leaves them with 1 game a season for scheduling themselves. And more often than not, they probably want that to be a game they can play on their home field (ND never plays in Annapolis and Army is always neutral site). They probably also want to avoid Power 5 schools for an opponent they have a greater likelihood of beating, for bowl eligibility.
In other words, I wouldn't expect to see Navy on the schedule anytime soon, unless they somehow get paired up in a bowl game, but even that is probably unlikely. The AAC and B1G currently don't have any bowl agreements that pit them head-to-head, so it would have to be a game where one or both is a fill-in for another conference.

The Terps have scheduled their season-opening opponent for 2022....Buffalo.

The trend here is definitely becoming more obvious between the two revenue sports. Starting to think this isn't a Turgeon thing, or a Durkin thing, or an Edsall thing....at this point it can't really be a Kevin Anderson thing anymore either. This chicken-shit scheduling has to be coming from higher.

Next season's B1G opener against Penn State has been moved from Saturday to Friday night, Sept 27th. Kickoff time and TV are still TBD. Most of this past season's Friday night games kicked off at either 8 or 9 ET.

Nice. I have several friends that are PSU alums and we are going to try to coordinate a nice tailgate before this game.

Might want to secure an off-campus spot to park for that one. When I had season tix there were several Thursday night games I went to, and we couldn't park in our assigned spot earlier than 5:30, or somewhere around that time.

Maryland announces they've scheduled a home and home with UConn in 2024 and 2026. Randy Edsall will probably be fired and re-hired by then.

Since UConn will probably be kicked out of the AAC by then (why keep them, since they are moving their only sports that matter, namely men's and women's hoops, to the Big East?) then this is probably going to end up being an FCS "Guarantee Game." That being the likely scenario, I sure hope the Terps have an out clause in the contract that doesn't require them to go to CT for that 2026 return game. It'd be pretty humiliating to have to travel to play an FCS team....of course, that'd be about as Maryland Football as Maryland Football gets.

UConn will be an independent in football following this season - UConn has already announced that as the AAC will not keep them as a football-only member.

I like it, they should always be willing to play non-P5 schools who are good. Get BYU or Cincy on the phone next.

By that time, either UCF might be Power 5, or the Power 5 will have ceased to exist.

The Athletic: Big Ten discussing potential elimination of divisions as part of future football scheduling plans
It's paywalled, obviously, but they also are looking at reducing conference games from 9 to 8, with the extra non-conference game being used to schedule ACC/Pac-12 teams.
Pac-12 has gone on record several times saying they are ready to make this happen as soon as 2023.
