As you can see, there is a lot of ESPN/ABC/ESPN2 on the screen. The Bearcats will have a Thursday night home opener on tv for the first time ever? Then they play a Big 10 scheduleand play every other week of the regular season after Septemeber 29. The USF game is on my birthday, so if anyone wants to buy me tickets or put me in a box or whatever for that game, I'm more than willing to let you. 

Two things jump out real quick. The opening 2 real games of the season are going to say a lot about this team. Pitt and Va Tech are legit opening opponents. 2, no long stretches away from home, unlike last year. The longest road trip is 6 days. That's not really ideal to play the Keg of Nails game after that short of a break, but hey, it's the way things work.

I'm excited for the Bearcats this season. We are going to learn about them very quick.
