With the season only a week around the corner, it's time to unveil the 2011 schedule!
There is a great variety of games on here, and with my new St. Louis locale I will be plunging further into the ranks of the Big 10 and SEC. I've chosen a handful of marquis matchups, and strangely, there will be a lot of night games this year as many teams look to increase their TV ratings. Right now the schedule stands at a modest 16 games in all, although I may add a few surprises during the season. As always, the schedule may change a bit throughout the year as I reserve the right to call an audible on any given week and veer off course to a different destination.

Sept 9th: Louisville (FIU)
Sept 10th: Kentucky (Central Michigan)
Sept 15th: Mississippi State (LSU)
