UPDATE: The article was updated to include this quote from Herman Frazier:

"Now that we know the WAC dates, we'll finalize our non-conference match-ups and be prepared to release them Monday afternoon," UH Athletic Director Frazier said. "I realize that fans have been anxious for the schedule to be released. However, due to many factors, this has been a difficult process and I've been working diligently to put together a non-conference schedule that is in the best interest of the football team and our fans."

I've learned these past several months not to get too excited about pronouncements of upcoming announcements regarding the schedule, but I got a feeling this is the real deal, finally. So I'm excited once again! Don't pop my balloon!

UPDATE 2: Just to drive the point home, here's another sentence from Frazier to add to the above quote, as taken from the Star-Bulletin.

I appreciate the patience of all parties involved and I look forward to announcing our remaining 2007 non-conference opponents on Monday.”

On MONDAY, people!
