Our cross divisional opponents next year (My prediction)
Has anything been announced? I noticed some other schools have announced dates for conf. games next year. Doubt we play Charlotte or ODU seeing how we played them home/away the past two years...we've played Marshall every year, home/away since 2005 so we'll probably be playing them in WV. Assuming we continue to play Marshall and with UAB fb joining back to the West division, we'll prob. be playing ONE of these teams:

-WKU, we've never played as conf. mates (not counting champ. game)
-FIU? Last played in '13 at home
-FAU? Last played in '13 at home
-MTSU? Last played in '14 @ MTSU

I'm guessing it'll be WKU. That leaves our conf. games next year as (in no particular order):

vs. UTEP
@ Rice
vs. UTSA
vs. UNT
@ LT
@ UAB

+ Cross divisional foes:
@ Marshall
vs. WKU

And please spare the "our schedule is 03-puke " remarks, they are getting really old. BTW, we do host Kentucky next year, so there's that.

We've played Marshall two years in a row so I doubt we get them agai. Probably an FU.

That's my thought as well. I feel like WKU is almost a lock with the other one being one of FAU/FIU/MTSU. I feel like there's no chance of Charlotte/ODU again for several years now that UAB is back in the picture as a yearly western opponent. As for Marshall we've played them more than 2 years in a row, we've played them yearly since 2005 and since we have started a rivalry with them it's time for CUSA office to shut it down similar to how they did our yearly game with Tulane when the divisions were split and we were east while they were west.

Bet we get Marshall and UAB. There's a reason we've played Marshall and I don't think that will change.

Okee Dokee....we may play Florida Int'l Airport instead of sweet Charlotte---BUY THEM SEASON TICKETS NOW!!!

Actually, will be fun playing Ol' Kaintuck in the 'burg, and hear them, ala La Tech, demand REVENGE!!!!03-lmfao

Interesting how different our offense will be with Howard (if he is the starter)...we will obviously put in more running plays and more option, just as Houston, Louisville, Mississippi St. and FSU did this year.(and Kentucky in the middle of the year)

Of course we'll get UAB, they will be in the west division with us.

We've played Marshall 11 years in a row. For that reason I'm pretty confident the conference will continue our game.

To clarify, we've played them across divisions two years in a row. Before that it was a division game. It would be a great game to keep, but probably won't happen.

It's not an accident that happened and I won't be surprised to see it remain.

Seems like there are certain match-ups that the conference would want to keep (Marshall v. USM, WKU vs. LT) that's for the betterment of the conference as a whole.
