When will we know next years AAC schedule?

I love how Tulane is constantly the butt of jokes and derision around here. Tulane won 7 games and played in a bowl in a destination city (just happened to be their home stadium). As good as I thought UConn's talent was, the Huskies only won 3 games and have not played in the post season for the 3rd consecutive year.

Tulane also has recent sporadic NFL draftee success in Shawn King, JP Losman, Patrick Ramsey, Mewelde Moore, and Matt Forte.

They are a program on the rise again.

7 wins in a conference a tick better than the Sun Belt.

Shawn King. Way to reach back.

7 wins = bowl eligible. 3 wins = does not. Do I think UConn has a better prospective future than Tulane with Coach Diaco on board? Yes, but facts are facts.

King and Losman were what they were, but they played 6 and 8 seasons in the NFL, respectively, and are eligible for the league pension. In a business where the average career lasts about 3 seasons, they did pretty well for themselves. Are they HoFers? Not by a long shot, but that is not what we are talking about.

ECU I can get excited about. I am pretty confident we'll handle Tulane and SMU in the future.

Excerpts from an article on the UCF site that cannot be linked to :

"UCF's 2014 league opponents and home/away designations will soon be revealed. The American Athletic Conference will make a formal announcement in early January, according to the league's Director of Communications Chuck Sullivan. The full schedule will be released in mid-to-late February."

The following is also referenced:

>>In November, schools were given a tentative list of opponents with instructions not to release the information. A staffer at Temple inadvertently listed their home/away slate within their game notes, revealing they'd be hosting Cincinnati, East Carolina, Memphis and Tulsa while traveling to UCF, UConn, Houston and Tulane. An East Carolina fan on a message board, said to be well-connected, claims to have seen the Pirates' opponents which include home games against UCF, UConn, SMU and Tulane and road games at Cincinnati, Houston, Temple and USF.

While schools may have opponents in hand, a source claims the American's television partner, ESPN, makes the final call in all scheduling matters so changes could still be made. For instance, if UCF is not slated to play Cincinnati - two teams that should be the league frontrunners in 2014 - ESPN could put in a request that the game be scheduled.<<

We'll see soon 'nuff I guess.

Another reference to road game @ ECU - Twitter account of the East Carolinian newspaper in Greenville :

So does that mean we don't play Houston two years in a row? Kind of weird.

Yup... No Houston or Tulsa this year.
