It's a reversal of last year's schedule JJ. As you know, teams don't have a choice in who they play. Maybe the next year the Tigers can come up to Bakersfield or vice versa. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if they did hook up.

This schedule, although the same as last year, is actually more beneficial for the Gades. They get SAC at home, and the two toughest road games will probably be Cerritos and Fullerton.

Diablos the trouble with 4:00 games in the early part of the season is that the home side is blinded by the sun for the first half. I wouldn't mind a 1:00 game though.
Bakersfield fans have to travel farther than just about anyone, so we know all about those late night grapevine excursions.
