FIRST dates for 2002

This may have been answered but..how exactly did whoever made that count-down thing know when Kick-off is? And when does FIRST release the dates for the next season? I know they release them soon here, but wasn't exactly sure when. Any info on this would be helpful for making calendars and planning and all that. Thanks

I seem to think that kick off is always the first Saturday of January. THat may not be true but for some reason that sicks out in my brain.

Well, I was a rookie last year so I didn't want to say something definite and have many people informing me of my error.

From my past experience, Kickoff is always the first Saturday in January, unless that Saturday is New Years Eve/Day.

Also, from what I remember, the dates for the season should be released sometime in Sept-October.

Have a good one

Thanks all..I really should remember from past years, but the school year usually goes by as a blur to me anyway. Oh well.

Yeah, I guess that would be a tough one to figure out.

In 1999 Kickoff was on 1/9/99, because New Years Day fell on a friday.
