Norfolk State's 2006 Football Schedule
features seven home games
April 21, 2006
NORFOLK, Va. — Norfolk State University
has released its 2006 football schedule with seven of its 11
games, including all three non-conference contests, scheduled
for to be played at Dick Price Stadium.
"We're really excited to be playing so many games at home," said
NSU head coach Pete Adrian. "The players will
be rested and will get to play a lot in front of their friends
and family."
NSU kicks off the season by hosting the annual Virginia Lottery
Labor Day Classic with Virginia State on Saturday, Sept. 2
at 6 p.m. VSU has won the last three meetings in the series.
One week later, NSU will host Virginia Military Institute
at 6 p.m. The Keydets prevailed in Lexington, 34-9, in the
teams' only prior meeting, in 2003.
The Spartans' next eight games are against MEAC opposition.
Following a bye week, NSU opens conference action on Sept.
23 at Bethune-Cookman. It will be Adrian's first game back
in Daytona Beach, Fla., since leaving his assistant post at
B-CC.
The annual Fish Bowl Classic is Sept. 30 at Dick Price Stadium
against North Carolina A&T. NSU then embarks on back-to-back
road games with the MEAC's top teams from 2005, South Carolina
State (Oct. 7) and Hampton (Oct. 14).
The Spartans have three of their final four MEAC games at
home, beginning Oct. 21 with Florida A&M. Following a road
date at Howard on Oct. 28, NSU hosts Morgan State for homecoming
2006 on Nov. 4, then caps conference play with Delaware State
on Nov. 11.
NSU concludes its 2006 season against another old CIAA rival,
Winston-Salem State, at Dick Price Stadium on Nov. 18. The
teams have played 18 times in their history, with each side
winning eight times to go with two ties.
The Spartans and WSSU have not played each other since 1996,
the Spartans' last year in Division II. The Rams have begun
the transition from Division II to Division I status.
