To be honest, I don't know who creates the schedule. However, on Barry Faulkner's blog, he implies that it was Douglass who was largely responsible for the schedule, so take that for what it is worth.

If so, I have no problem with Izzi laying back and letting Douglass make the decisions this season, with the understanding that Douglass is coaching for his job. Personally, I am on the fence in regards to Douglass after this upcoming season, and I think that we would all be...

I'm disappointed in Izzi. I can understand not firing Douglass in his first year on the job. But now its becoming apparent that the man has no balls when it comes to the basketball program. There is not one home game on the schedule that I'll be going to. I'm not going to check out Laverne, Vanguard, Bakersfield. You'd have to pay me $20, with a free beer, hot dog, and licorice, and a seat directly behind the players bench to make me attend those games.
This schedule...

More evidence of Bakersfield's impending entrance into the Big West? Are they playing any other Big West teams this year?

Even with the soft weak and boring schedule im still not sure we can get 20 wins this year. This schedule creates less hype from the student (then there already is) for our bball team. What are the students going to look foward to this year for the home games? "Hey UCI is playing La Verne Tonight at the Bren! Lets go out and watch that!" . NO

The students have proved that they come out to the big games. Last years amazing game against Oregon, the bren was nearly sold out....

20 Wins or no PD...We need results now. UCD and UCR are much more improved - they have only been in D1 for a few years!

If we don't get to 20 wins with this schedule, there should be a new coach on the bench the following year. I still think scheduling tougher teams, making more money and having a worse record gets us ready for BWC games and the conference tourney. And, that's the only way to get to the NCAA Tourney.

I guess PD is simply trying to keep his job...and if we lose to Vanguard of La Verne...I just don't know what to say...

PD copied the Burton ACC scheduling formula. All CupCakes.

The scheduling of Bake twice within 3-4 days has to do with the 9 team BW more than anything. Around the first of the year, some teams will play 3 games in 8-10 days and other teams can will have one game in 8-10 days.

At least there is a story line for the FDU game:

Greg "Shoes" Vetrone duels his former team. Like Shaq vs. Kobe, just not as compelling

Scheduling CS-Bakersfield twice, SJSU twice, and not one but two non-DI games is simply not acceptable.

Here's an article from the Daily Pilot by Barry Faulkner regarding UCI's schedule. I think the schedule has been finalized.

How do we play two Non D1's - La Verne and Vanguard? Plus, we have lazy scheduling in that we play CS Bakersfield twice (in a few days) and we play San Jose State twice. Maybe, with Todd Murphy leaving, they were trying to finalize the schedule quickly. I would rather have played a big bucks guarantee game on the road than play either of the Non D1's.

If memory serves me, the Texas game is part of a two location tournament with the subsequent games are played at E....

I wonder if the poor economy has something to do with UCI's softer schedule and just taking 3 trips out of CA.

Here's UCI's official 2009-10 schedule. This is definitely the softest in the Douglass ERA. LaVerne and Vanguard aren't even D1 schools. Anything less than 20 wins will be a failure.

2009-2010 schedule

Nov. 9 - Concordia (exhibition)

Nov. 13 - La Verne

Nov. 15 - at Texas

Nov. 18 - at Loyola Marymount

Nov. 23-25 - Eastern Kentucky tournament (Texas San Antonio and Fairleigh Dickinson)

Dec. 1 -...
