Found February 09, 2012 on Miami Herald:
A report from the Boston Globe has UM football playing at Boston College on Labor Day weekend to open the 2012 season. It could definitely happen, as the two teams do not have nonconference games scheduled for that weekend. However, the Globe, which cited sources from Boston College, said "the likely dates are Sunday or Monday, although the entire weekend remains in play.'' I just did my own snooping around, and it seems that UM, if it does travel to Boston College on opening weekend, would likely play on Saturday, Sept. 1, and not Monday, Labor Day, Sept. 3. The reason: UM will meet nonconference opponent Kansas State, AT Kansas State, Sept. 8. It seems unlikely Al Golden would want to meet KSU on a short week, especially since the Canes will be traveling. But I do not know for sure. The Atlantic Coast Conference likely will release its 2012 football schedule next week. FOLLOWING IS THE STORY I JUST WROTE FOR THE PAPER: BY SUSAN MILLER DEGNAN sdegnan@MiamiHera...
