2017 calendar question for scheduling

[speedkills]

Can someone in the know confirm if this is correct(?): the 2017 season will begin with Week 1 on Fri 9/1.

I've run across several coaches who thought Week 1 would be Fri 8/25, but the UIL tentative 2017-18 calendar shows Week 1 on 9/1. Just thought I'd see what was being heard/known. Thanks.

Everything has been pushed back a week. Week 1 is 9/1. That THURSDAY-SATURDAY.

Has this "push back" of week 1 been finalized by UIL? Everything I find on their website says it's still tentative.

1st day of practice is first Monday in August which will be the 7th.
Two weeks of practice and 1st scrimmage......18th or 19th
Third week and 2nd scrimmage.........24th, 25th, or 26th

So yeah, first game would be August 31, September 1st, or 2nd
