We do not. C-USA usually gives that to us sometime near the end of March.

I imagine it would look something like the 2005 schedule, but maybe they will find some way to mix up the home and away games for the East? Or not.

East Carolina
@ Houston
@ Marshall
Rice
Tulane
@ Tulsa
@ UAB
UTEP

add in non-conference opponents SFA and Navy and you've got a real uphill climb selling season tickets for next year.

Just another by-product of tossing this season away.

Good lord, please leave me off the guest list for your next pity party.

I say Navy is a big draw

So you're telling me that if we had Houston, Marshall, Tulsa, and UAB at home it would be different?

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the Navy game draws at least 22,500 to Ford Stadium. How many former Navy people (members of the Navy, not just alums of the Academy) live in DFW? Get them to the game!

Now that is funny....I see us drawing under 15k on average next year...not good.

Where is Russ Potts when you need him???

We may get a reshuffling of the deck on the cross divisional games now that everyone has now played every team in conference at home, but it is unlikely. The home and away may change however. I don't think ECU at home is a given.

It will snap our 20 + game losing streak to D1 teams at that point.

UTEP usually pulls over 20,000. Rice depends on when and what's at stake. If we open with ECU it might be decent attendance, but most likely they won't draw flies. But still much better than playing in the WAC with Fresno, Boise, Nevada, and Hawaii. None of those teams ever drew more than 10,000.

Would anybody be able to tell the difference?
