Anyone know the 08 schedule?

Here is a loose compilation

Expect to see the regular conference schedule (four on the road and three at home).

Plus, @ Illinois, @ Kansas St, @ USM, home v. Kent St, and home against ???

That makes 12.

I believe that game we're still looking for will be against UTEP at Cajun Field in 08.

I thought we were suposed to be playing Nebraska on the road and Southern at home in '08?

Wouldn't the 5th home game be Western Kentucky as a new conference team?

I forgot about that. Does western kentucky come in as full members in '08 or '09?

No, they are a semi-member in '08, and then go full time in '09, i think. We'll be a bit behind the 8 ball next year because it will be our year to have the unbalanced home conference schedule, but that should clean up in '09 with WKU.

A few years ago I would have called this the perfect out of conference schedule. Kansas State and Illinois have not been traditional BCS powerhouse teams.

However Ron Zook (I fear) has Illinois on a roll, so it now looks like a typical BCS money game.

I just hope Kansas State has another year like this year and then I think we have a shot at a BCS win.

Turb, we now have a chance for back to back BCS upsets.
