I need to spend a few minutes coming up with a trivial reason to complain about this. Be right back.

Came out on wrinkled paper???

CurveItAround · January 23, 2013

Those will be some tough road games, but me likey.

emmitt01 · January 23, 2013

I'm gonna go on record right now.

The ONLY way this could have been better for us is if you switched Tulsa and MUTS.

And this year's season ticket sales will absolutely dwarf any year prior.

Cue KRAM's sarcastic post about RV not getting credit where due.

Harry · January 23, 2013

Love that we got Tulane in New Orleans!!! Roadtrip to The Rock at USM is neat and I also like getting Rice, UTEP and UTSA at home. I am really interested to see which of our home opponents bring the most fans, it wouldn't surprise me if it is UTSA.

To echo Emmitt's comment, this is the very BEST schedule I have seen us have in my years of following this program. Every single road game is close enough to drive to!

techdawg88 · January 23, 2013

Heck yes, yall get to come to Ruston

cdizzle86 · January 23, 2013

Wow. That is wayyyyy better than the Sun Belt. Our team better get on their game or it's going to be a long season!

CurveItAround · January 23, 2013

Hopefully that schedule helps us sway a couple of recruits here at the deadline.

MeanGreenTexan · January 23, 2013

Heck yes, yall get to come to Ruston

Be on the lookout for a thread about tailgating and what to do while there when it gets closer to gameday... Looking forward to it!

"Television. Conference USA has television agreements with Fox Sports Networks and CBS Sports Network, and ESPN will continue to carry the C-USA Football Championship. As one the largest BCS conferences in 2013, C-USA membership will include institutions in 12 of the Top 65 television markets, eight in the Top 40 and four in the Top 25 media markets according to Nielson. C-USA home markets next year will include a little more than 14.5 million TV households, a 43 percent increase to our current 10.1 million homes."

Looking foward to it. I was at the last game we had there in the Dickey era and had a good time even though we lost the game. It's a nice trip and easy to do by car.

oldguystudent · January 23, 2013

Take out Tulsa and Tulane, and you've got six of eight conference games for some years to come. Honestly, I'm OK with what's left as long as we don't have to play a F_U school every year.

(Looks like MTSU is in the east?)

Green Lantern · January 23, 2013

Best schedule BY A MILE I've ever seen in my 14 years associated with UNT. Three in state opponents at home and some truly awesome roadies. Can't wait.

10Eagle10 · January 23, 2013

not a bad road tripping schedule at all! We get to go to both Athens' of the West (Ohio and Georgia) and Southern Miss, Tulsa, Tulane, and LA Tech, with a nice home schedule to boot! let's go 6-0 at Apogee in 2013

THOR · January 23, 2013

4 hours plus to ruston/tulsa

8 hours plus to new orleans/hattiesburg

Wag Tag · January 23, 2013

untbowler · January 23, 2013

Very nice schedule and all conference games are easy drives for fans, if they do not mind interstate drives to Tulane and Hattiesburg (8-10 hrs from DFW.

Should be fun for all.

Thanks CUSA scheduler
