11/25 (Tues): vs. Navy - ESPN2
12/5 (Fri): MAC Championship game


4 out of the first 5 games on the road is brutal although there is a nice little break with a bye and getting Indiana State at home. This team will have to come out strong.

The Navy game is the night right before spring break, so we better have a great record coming in or nobody's going to show up in what should be a stellar game. Navy should bring a lot of fans to the game, especially from around the Chicago area.

Going back to the weekday games for TV exposure. 3 confirmed TV games and I'm expecting more. You have to assume the Minnesota game will be on the Big 10 network and Tennessee on ESPN if we are undefeated at the time. Hopefully Kill will have his team ready, because this schedule is extremely front-loaded.

A lot of cold tail-gating in October and November that's for sure. Let's go Huskies!!!
