Season ticket holders are really getting screwed over with that home schedule, at least it’ll likely include the WVU game. Because I don’t respect North Texas, having just swept them. We only have one big game at home and it’s the last one of the season vs La Tech.

That road stretch vs La Tech, WKU, and Marshall is brutal. Somebody in Dallas hates us.

I’d rather play WKU and Marshall twice than USM, UTSA, and UTEP. Are we playing in Divisions? No, then put your better teams against each other more often.

Grambling did have a good transfer class. Maybe they won’t be too bad. AAMU, I’m assuming is a favor for Howard.

There are 19 home games, so they did try to make up for it with quantity over quality. Morehead State was an NCAA tournament team. Casual fans aren’t going to know that.

West Virginia is definitely in the season ticket package.

NO GEORGIA TECH (did they bail on us once again?)

Rhodes and Millsaps? Shrug. With both of those, makes me wonder about a good opponent falling through and needing to fill on the fly. What happened to the event in Vegas? Looks better when you add those names to the graphic.

Guess they can’t make up their mind who wants to catch L’s from us in Vegas. It’ll be New Mexico, San Fran, or Towson which isn’t going to interest most in the Deep South. Better hope New Mexico is good.

Yeah, two D-III opponents in the same season, that may be a record. I remember playing Rhodes in the early days, but I don't know that we have ever played Millsaps in basketball. I do remember a hot afternoon in Jackson against them in football.

We played Rhodes in 1984, Millsaps in 1987.

Only way we get a shot at GT is in the tourney. Josh took a look at the roaster and said no thanks.

HCAK just confirmed that Georgia Tech bailed on us once again. Hopefully that is the third and final strike for the Yellow(belly)Jackets (third time they have bailed on UAB in program history).

TWO decent games on the entire home schedule. Pitiful.

Two underrated matchups on the home schedule IMO

Morehead State went 23-8 this past season and made the NCAA tournament.

ETSU. Before this past season they had five straight years of at least 24 wins.

Once again we have a schedule that affords us little margin for error. I think we have to enter conference play with 1, maybe 2 losses to have any shot at an at large. Everything looked great early, we just couldn’t complete the OOC.
