Former Broncos in the NFL
Complete 2009 WAC Schedule Announced
Apr 2nd
Our good friend OBNUG made a post today yesterday and it was a scoop. It appears the 2009 WAC schedule is complete. Based on what we already know and what can be gleamed from the schedule, I noticed four Friday games that will essentially be ESPN games for Boise State, as there is absolutely no reason to have the Broncos Playing on Friday unless they are on ESPN. Combine that with the Oregon and Tulsa game, that will make at least 6 Nationally televised games. Oh and if we win the WAC it will be at the shellacking of a Mummeless New Mexico State Aggie team.
Sept. 3 vs. Oregon (Thursday)
Sept. 12 vs. Miami (Ohio)
Sept. 18 @ Fresno State (Friday)
Sept. 26 @ Bowling Green
Oct. 3 vs. Cal Davis
Oct. 14 @ Tulsa (Wednesday)
Oct. 24 @ Hawaii
Oct. 31 vs. San Jose State
Nov. 6 @ LaTech (Friday)
Nov. 14 vs. Idaho
Nov. 20 @ Utah State (Friday)
Nov. 27 vs. Nevada (Friday)
Dec. 5 vs. NMSU
