wkuhillhound,

I love you man, but this goes in other sports nowxnodx

[TexasTerror]

Surprised WKU is not playing the two La. SBC schools...

Four of first five weeks on the road. Brutal! I predict 4 or 5 wins...

What's the WOW! for?

WOW! WKU is gonna make tons of money this season

WOW! WKU is gonna make tons of money this season

Alabama. Kentucky. Virginia Tech.

The WKU faithful are excited about seeing the Wildcats. That's a matchup they've been longing for some time!

I believe Indiana is a home-and-home, as is Ball State.

[ysubigred]

Hmm.... I can see 8 or 9 win's with this schedule. xeekx

WOW factor is the $$ for VA Tech, Alabama. UcKy and INu don't pay to much/ xnonono2x

Will WKU be playing a full Sun Belt schedule in 2009?

[Syntax Error]

This schedule is what they were all drooling about going FBS?????

[Go...gate]

That is a hell of a tough schedule for a program in transition....

Yep.

[wkuhillhound]

We went to Florida last season? Finished the season 7 - 5, it could have been a little bit better. This season is way tougher than last season.

[BearsCountry]

This is the perfect year to play a schedule like that. Help pay off the new stadium additions, you cant go to a bowl or win a title might as well get some cash and let your players play in some big time environments.

[slycat]

great schedule. itll be tough but help build your program. this is the kind of schedule texas st fans want and a reason many push to move up.

I believe Indiana is a home-and-home, as is Ball State.

The Ball State game is the 2nd of the home/home series. I didn't expect Kentucky to schedule the Toppers. We have played Florida, Auburn (2x), and Georgia since our National Championship back in 2002. Also played Kansas State the year before the championship.

[ScottyDoesKnow]

C'mon fellas! This is not a tough schedule. 8 wins is possible because outside of Indiana, Kentucky, Alabama, and Virginia Tech there's really nobody else on the slate that's got any name or any pull. The remaining 8 teams on the slate are all pretty much even in talent to Western Kentucky and most other FCS teams.

[Herdman]

Yeah, but finishing the season on a 6 game win streak, giving thema total of 7 would really set the tone for a program like UWK heading into next year and a new conference. I think 8 wins might be stretching it a bit, but it's possible.
