Five conference home games isn't happening.

PBS attendance may be a challenge with that slate but I'd rather see at least three sellouts upon returning to the "new" Nippert (UCF, Miami FL, possible P5 opening opponent?) to continue building the fanbase.

Agreed. If that's the case, 2015 looks to be a pretty good slate of teams. IMO, 2014 is sort of a "throw away" year for home games since UC is playing at PBS all season. I could really care less about the schedule one way or the other that year.

ECU at home, they will take Rutgers' spot.

Then the rest will stay the same IMO...Memphis, USF, Houston, Toledo and MooU at home. Yuck.

I believe Tulsa is the only team with an open date that week. The AAC will like to kick-off their new membership giving them a home game.

Non-conference schedule is actually the most interesting it has been in years. Say what you want about Miami but its still a rivalry game that has had solid attendance numbers when the game isn't in Oxford. Cats owe Toledo, good MAC team that isn't an easy win. A road trip to Ohio State is possible and no doubt the Miami (Fl) game will be on national TV. Even without a marque home games the two MAC schools are better than playing random FCS U.

Lets assume the information provided surrounding Tulane and ECU is correct regarding the conference schedule. You know what UC is in the American so they are going to play the schools in the American. Best bet for respect is to win the league or pick off a view high profile non-conference opponents, even better if they do both.

I miss playing Louisville, WVU, and Pitt. Syracuse and Rutgers moved the needle about as much as UConn and USF did during our time in the Big East.

Shouldn't be so d*mn worried about who you're rooting against as who you are rooting for.

Meh. IMO that home slate is not very special. Again.
