Mercer can not play Samford on Oct 22 as WCU is scheduled to play at Samford that day.

Good catch - edited them out; wasn't my 'guess' anyway though

Yep - As I guessed...the 2nd time.

October is going to be a GRIND. With my current guess of @chatt on 10/8....that would be 4 tough road games in October and only 1 @ Home. Long trips too...

10/1 - @vmi (8 Hrs / 516 miles)
10/8 - @chatt (guessing...could be @sammy or BYE) (3 Hrs / 201 miles) OR (3.5 Hrs / 233 miles) OR REST!
10/15 - WCU - (Stay HOME!)
10/22 - @apsu (6 Hrs / 378 miles)
10/31 - @woffy(4 Hrs / 213 miles)

Could be almost 3,000 miles of travel for the Football Bears in October.

Hope they fly to VMI this year! Although....Bears are 0-2 in games where they have flown (San Diego & Marist in 2013). Maybe they've grown some 'wings' since then!

Here is a Vandy poster who say Mercer is playing Vanderbilt in 2020. I've heard rumors that they were trying to work out a game but nothing that is this final. Anyone else?

...and now confirmed - Football Announces Game at Vanderbilt in 2020 - no doubt heavily pressured to confirm by the intrepid 'investigators,' such as mercerfan & BearDownMU, posting here.

The feline had escaped the satchel...so to speak.

Here's what I have pieced together of Mercer's 2016 Football Schedule thus far...1st 3 are set - 3 of the middle 6 are set...and final 3 regular season games are 'wide-open'...

Saturday, September 3, 2016 (or maybe Thursday, September 1, 2016...that would be my 'guess') - Mercer vs. The Citadel - Five Star Stadium in Macon, Georgia
Saturday, September 10, 2016 - Mercer @ Georgia - Tech Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field in Atlanta, Georgia
Saturday, September 17, 2016 - Mercer vs. Tennessee Tech - Five Star Stadium in Macon, Georgia
Saturday, September 24, 2016 - POSSIBLE's - BYE, @chatt, @sammy; FUBeAR's GUESS - BYE (changed guess)
Saturday, October 1, 2016 - Mercer @ VMI - Alumni Memorial Field in Lexington, Virginia
Saturday, October 8, 2016 - POSSIBLE's - BYE, @chatt, FUBeAR's GUESS - @chatt (2nd changed guess)
Saturday, October 15, 2016 - Mercer vs. Western Carolina - Five Star Stadium in Macon, Georgia
Saturday, October 22, 2016 - Mercer @ Austin Peay - Governors Stadium in Clarksville, TN (APSU's Homecoming Game)
Saturday, October 29, 2016 - Mercer @ Wofford - Gibbs Stadium in Spartanburg, South Carolina
Saturday, November 5, 2016 - Mercer vs. ETSU - Five Star Stadium in Macon, Georgia
Saturday, November 12, 2016 - POSSIBLE's - BYE, @sammy; FUBeAR's Changed GUESS - @sammy
Saturday, November 19, 2016 - Mercer vs. Furman - Five Star Stadium in Macon, Georgia
Saturday, November 26, 2016 - BYE
Saturday, December 3, 2016 - Mercer vs. TBD - Five Star Stadium in Macon, Georgia (2nd Round of NCAA FCS Playoffs)

EDIT - 1/28 - feeling a little more confident about my changed guesses today...
EDIT - 2/1 - what was I thinking? I should never have confidence in my GUESSES!
EDIT - 2/4 - FU game set - I was right...for once!
EDIT - 2/15 - Right twice..after 1 changed guess...APSU's wants to play the Bears for their Homecoming I see. OK.
EDIT - 2/22 - I have it from a highly reliable source that my guesses above are all correct - YAY ME!

I have a hunch the Bears will play @ APSU in 2016. Yes, the Bears went up there last year, but I have a hunch the Men in White & Orange will be making another trip to Clarksville, TN this season and, thus, making 2 LONG road trips. Maybe y'all can donate some CASH and they can fly from ATL to Roanoke for the VMI game this year.

I have a hunch the Bears will play ETSU at Home again in 2016. Yes, the Buccaneers came to Maconga last Fall, but I think they will be headed down the mountains again in 2016.

Your thoughts?

I wonder why Mercer is not officially releasing their schedule? The Southern Conference schedule is obviously complete and finalized (otherwise how could 5 of the 8 SoCon teams have already released?). And the non conference opponents have all released their schedules.

Nice looking schedule. Certainly is a slate Mercer fans can get excited about.
