I'm gonna go on record right now.

The ONLY way this could have been better for us is if you switched Tulsa and MUTS.

And this year's season ticket sales will absolutely dwarf any year prior.

Cue KRAM's sarcastic post about RV not getting credit where due.

Love that we got Tulane in New Orleans!!! Roadtrip to The Rock at USM is neat and I also like getting Rice, UTEP and UTSA at home. I am really interested to see which of our home opponents bring the most fans, it wouldn't surprise me if it is UTSA.

To echo Emmitt's comment, this is the very BEST schedule I have seen us have in my years of following this program. Every single road game is close enough to drive to!

"Television. Conference USA has television agreements with Fox Sports Networks and CBS Sports Network, and ESPN will continue to carry the C-USA Football Championship. As one the largest BCS conferences in 2013, C-USA membership will include institutions in 12 of the Top 65 television markets, eight in the Top 40 and four in the Top 25 media markets according to Nielson. C-USA home markets next year will include a little more than 14.5 million TV households, a 43 percent increase to our current 10.1 million homes."

Take out Tulsa and Tulane, and you've got six of eight conference games for some years to come. Honestly, I'm OK with what's left as long as we don't have to play a F_U school every year.

(Looks like MTSU is in the east?)

Well, I will go on record that I was looking forward to either making a cool trip to El Paso, San Antonio, or Houston....

BUT! Having all three in Apogee!?! We get to show those guys how awesome Denton is!?

Ticket sales are just gonna go up and up and up. This is sweet.

Since we will have the benefit of having 6 home games (along with the added bonus of being solid opponents), we should easily set the all time attendance record. We almost did it this year with 5 home games. Is it reasonable to think we can top 23k in average attendance next year? We were basically at 19k this season. A 20% increase is a pretty steep hil to climb.
