2008 schedule released

I REALLY like this schedule. Of the 6 home games, at least 4 of them are legitimate games (Iowa, Rutgers, Louisville, and WVU). Bowling Green and Buffalo are not really hot tickets, but at least we aren't playing 1-AA teams (or whatever they are called nowadays).

Really, a vast majority of these games will be competitive, and with the promise this team is showing I think our guys should go into EVERY game with the confidence that they can win. We should also have a good amount of games on national -or at least regional - TV (Notre Dame, USF, and WVU will almost undoubtedly be televised nationally, and depending on the success of our team and opponents many more could follow).

I still think it is too early to make predictions on our overall records, but I am very optimistic about this coming football season...is it August yet???

I have been one of the few here who have always supported Wannstedt, but anything less than 9-3 from this schedule would be a disappointment....Every single game is winnable, but we don't know if this team has "it" yet.    I think we will have AT LEAST as much talent as our opponent in every game......Let's see if it translates to wins!

HAIL TO PITT!!!!!!

The toughest game will probably be the road game at South Florida - almost all of their key players return from last year's 9 - 4 team.   I'm thinking Pitt finishes 8 - 4 or 9 - 3 behind the running of Slim Shady.

This is a pretty soft non-conference schedule.  Unless ND does an amazing turn around.  And I think the conference will be a lot weaker this year unless Louisville and Rutgers do a great rebuilding job.

Looks like Pitt can rack up a good win/loss record and pretend its way into a major bowl.  Maybe even win the conference if WVU falters under new coaching staff.
