2005 Football Schedule Released

The good news about this schedule is that 8 of our 11 games are played in our home state. How many other football schools can (outside CUSA) say that? Hopefully this has a positive impact on attendance.

What strikes me about this schedule is there are only two apparent airline trips for the team - W. Va and Ala. Anyone know how much we are saving on travel expenses vs. last year?

AusTxPony, I heard we will save about $250,000 on travel costs by moving to CUSA. But don't worry about the airline industry, TCU is picking up the slack by moving to the Mountain West.

Probably as attractive a home schedule as we could hope for in our current state. As for improved attendance, anyone care to take a gues at what we will draw/average? I'd be very pleased to see 120,000/20,000 but my guess is 110,000.

We could be 0-6, 1-5 going into the ECU game. I guess we have to play them sometime, but I sure would have preferred to play them near the end of the schedule. But I've highlighted October 1 in red and will get the SUV oiled and greased for the trek from DC area to Huntington, W. Va.

Eaststang, if we open "0-6", scheduling is NOT our problem.
