If that's the schedule, I don't think Bowling is in their future this year... The amount of home games does help, though.

Louisville game will be HUGE!

I think the only tentative part of that schedule is the date of the WKU game. The opponents are set.

5-7 tops

[CatsCatsCats]

U of L is a must win. 6 wins is going to be tough.

[SvFan4life]

I say the team surprises and goes 8-4. Losses to Florida, LSU, Georgia, and South Carolina.

Fairly tepid OOC schedue but that is the norm nowadays.

[KY Thorobred]

6-6 Liberty Bowl

Can someone please explain the reasoning for two Kentucky schools to play a game in the state of Tennessee? Why give another state all the revenue?

It's a Western home game and their stadium only seats a little over 22k. Western gets the bulk of the revenue for the game, therefore it makes sense to play a home game in the biggest stadium close to their campus. If UK fans travel like they normally do, ticket sales alone could be more than 4 times what UK would pay them to play the game in Lexington.

Yeah but the state of Tennessee gets all the revenue from hotel rooms, restaurants, and other expenses. I don't like it.

[Zoot Soup]

I'm guessing the UT game will be for a bowl berth.

Don't know what to tell you there, big guy, but the school never benefits from those anyway. It's about WKU building their program right now. That money IS coming back to Kentucky.

I think UK will be 6-6.
