I'd love to open up with WKU. A rivalry like this is becoming shouldn't be relegated to dead crowds on a black Friday. There's a 10-15K crowd size difference if they were the first game instead of the last.

I am hoping that USM does not finish up the regular season with a home game. As you said, Black Friday games are attendance killers for everyone in CUSA as well as many other conferences

These are the types of conversations you would think the ADs have with the conference office....but who knows.

We open with a bye. Week 2 host Morgan State

You gotta be kidding...

Full schedules https://t.co/H8d2cDb3l8

WKU gets a bye before Marshall, while Marshall has 11 straight games.

Why don't we just put Army back in the conference? Most of y'all seem to be playing them.

WKU at Marshall and La Tech at USM on Rivalry Week. I'm okay with this, even if it is Thanksgiving Weekend. Looks like CUSA learned from last year that having the projected games that will matter on the last week is smart.

A few creampuff OOCs, but nothing ridiculous.

USM schedule next year. I like getting Marshall and Tech at home.

We can't complain. Our bye last year was before WKU while they played at FIU. Exact situation in reverse this year. Worked well for them. It'll work well for us.

Western is yet to play Charlotte a team in our division but at the same time we played UNT and Tech twice since Charlotte started CUSA play. Actually we play Tech for a 3rd year..which I don't mind.

I drive it in 4.7 hours and I'm 70 miles north/northwest of BG and usually avg about 80mph. Probably take me a little longer now since I have to watch my speed going through Tn....a 90 in a 70
