The 2013 football schedule was released today.  While it’s not exciting to a lot of fans, it’s not as bad as some would have you believe.

In case you missed it, here’s a quick look at the schedule:

Aug. 31 vs. Alabama (Atlanta)
September 7 vs. Western Carolina
September 14 at East Carolina
September 21 vs. Marshall
September 26 at Georgia Tech (Thursday)
October 5 vs. UNC
October 12 vs. Pitt
October 26 vs. Duke
November 2 at BC
November 9 at Miami
November 16 vs. UMD
November 30 at UVA

Looking at it emotionally, my first thought is, “Man, that sucks!”  But it’s certainly not all bad.  Let’s start with the bad part first.
