Five National TV Games Highlight 2013 Football Schedule

God that's a horrendous slate of home games. I need a new conference.

After last years mid week break downs hud will be sure to remind them and have them ready. To play and win

Gonna be very interesting to see hour home crowds this year. Only one weeknight game. But, the schedule is littered with Former 1-AA's and New Mexico State who is arguably the worst team in FBS.

Hey Tech got ranked beating the teams left in the ashes of the WAC. If we pull an upset at Arkansas or Kansas State we just might have a dream season! However, those two teams I would suspect are not going overlook us.

I'm ok with the 5 home games. But spread them out better. I mean 2 home games out of the first 7????? Sucks

The home schedule sucks but this is what you get when you play in the crappy and getting crappier Sun Belt Conference.

But on the bright side this is a schedule that:
- all but guarantees we'll be 8-4 at worst or 11-1 at best.
- all but guarantees a 3rd straight Bowl appearance.
- gives us a legitimate chance at a top 25 ranking.
- gives us a decent chance to play in a BCS game.

I would love to see us play many more home-homes with schools like La Tech, Tulane, Houston, Rice, and Southern Miss. I would love to see us bring in more BCS opponents. I'm not happy playing 1AA teams (except McNeese, Southern, or Grambling who all would fill the stadium and our pocketbook.) But at least this schedule gives us a great opportunity to step it up a notch and make a name for ourselves. I'm excited because if we can win one of our first two games we'll be ranked and in the national spotlight all year long.

We'd finish in the Top 25 final rankings if we go 11-1. I wonder what the bowl game possibilities would be.

I say we stay in New Orleans but force them to change the name of the bowl to the Louisiana's Ragin Cajuns R&L Carriers Bowl!

Everybody is saying 11-1 at best. 11-1 would be great, but anybody think we can run the table? 12-0? Top 5 ranking??? I'm dreaming big, but dreams have to start somewhere
