NICE!

I guess this is the surprise Wood was talkin about.

Sounds like a road trip to me.

What game do we lose for this one?

RODT

Better some GD return game or UK coming to Diddle or something. We better not have sold ourselves out for 300K.

fftop

with this schedule, whoever said 3-9 is an optimist.

Anyone else remember my "rumor" I posted from my big UK insider...????? I am glad it came to fruition.

fftop, I think you recall i said this months ago!!!

quick question: I assume we are considered 1-A now for scheduling purposes, considering that UK has a 1-AA Norfolk State already on schedule......?????

Hilltop1215

squirrel... yes we count as 1-A

Cannot wait to be there at that game!!!!..RODT we are buidling the football program I dont think we can pick and chose at this point on who comes to our place..When we get the program going and sucessful then we can have a lot more say....I think its great for the state and for sure seperates us from the Murray's and Easterns of the world..Hopefully we can be competative in the game!

I thought EKU played at UK last year.

I'm like others on here - I want to know what we get for playing this game.

"RODT we are buidling the football program I dont think we can pick and chose at this point on who comes to our place..When we get the program going and sucessful then we can have a lot more say."

BULLSHIT! UK isn't coming here. Why should we play them for what will prolly be less money when we can go somewhere else for more. This is BS. COMplete BS.

ANY chance we get to play UK anytime, anywhere is OK in my book - football, hoops, bowling, croquet, speed knitting ... doesn't matter to me. WKU is finally growing to the point where the so-called big boys can't turn their backs on us anymore.

I say bring it on every chance we get.

Oh, and have I mentioned yet today that UK s-cks?

BigOTop

...wow...

I am extremely underwhelmed by this announcement. I wonder who gets dumped from our tentative schedule to make this possible ??

If we play enough SEC teams (on the road), do we get an honorary membership?

"WKU is finally growing to the point where the so-called big boys can't turn their backs on us anymore.

That statement is so gheyy I can barely comment on it. The "big boys" that you call UK wanted us to come there and play them for the last four years, but we always gave them stiff arm for a bigger paycheck. Now we are selling ourselves out, the thing we always said we wouldn't do, to our in-state rival for pennies on the dollar. STUPID STUPID STUPID.

FireScout

this gives us better recruiting opportunities.
