Why haven't the mods posted the schedule yet.  That Topper guy is a slacker.

Why on earth is that a yuck? People have more time on weekends, which mean huge student crowds, sold out buildings. $$$$$$

2 NFL playoff Sundays...will likely interfere with the Packers and..I for one, prefer Sundays as a day to relax before going back to work.

[TedBaxter]

Saturday day games are awesome my man. Kegs & eggs!

Agree. Love weekend day games.

[PGsHeroes32]

I feel like a 5-2 or better start is pretty much a must

[lessthannick11]

Still NO Saturday night games...that is so frustrating...thought they would for sure get some in the Fiserv Forum

TV scheduling......

So, that's just you. I'm speaking in terms of most. 

Also, Jan. 20th the NFL playoffs don't even start until 2pm. Games at 11am

[Newsdreams]

I don't see any political rhetoric. He's just updating is about his attorney's well being. Unless of course you're connecting it to something to get upset

Really I do feel sorry for his attorney

Hour drive home

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

MU with AT LEAST 5 National Fox broadcasts

Ugh, 5 losses on the schedule already!

[Its DJOver]

So unless we have 10 Saturday night home games, people will complain.  I suspected it, but now it's confirmed.

Fixed.

[jsglow]

It's a freakin' phenomenal schedule.  Cryin' is for cryboxes.   

[Mr. Nielsen]

Hour drive home

You will be fine!!  It's only the NFL. 

[muguru]

I do really REALLY like the fact they have ZERO 8PM weeknight starts this year...that's a HUGE bonus

Feb 20th. Butler on CBSSN.

Hour drive home

I can’t believe the Big East didn’t check with your personal preferences before setting their schedule.

I was just answering the 8pm home games, not CBSSN games. That said, I do love CBSSN!

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Really good schedule from a convenience stand point. It's pretty balanced from beginning to end. Roughest part of the schedule is the middle: at Xavier, at Butler, St. John's, Villanova, at DePaul, Butler, at Providence, and at Villanova.  Could easily go 2-6 during that stretch if we're not careful.
