Seton Hall, Texas and Texas A&M, it should be an exciting schedule for both our
players and the fans.  We have never shied away from putting together a difficult
schedule and this year reiterates that.  In regards to the SEC schedule, there are
again a lot of challenges ahead of us.  Our fans will get to see some of the best
when we play Tennessee, Kentucky and Georgia at home, to name a few.”
