BengalByTheBay Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 For those of you wondering when the schedule would officially come out.........In fact, I was. I knew it was a week or so before the draft, but it's really morphing into a ridiculous show. Are they really going to tell us anything that we won't already think just by looking at the schedule?? Anyway -- many thanks E7! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 The only things to wait for are seeing if your team draws a primetime game and the date of the game. Outside of that, the rest is set...I don't see us in the primetime this year either. Then again, stranger things have happened... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway -- many thanks E7!No problem. I look forward to the schedule release. I know we all know who the Bengals are going to play, but I like knowing the exact dates they play certain teams. It helps me plan out trips to the games in advance, which is very important since I will have to take leave to go to a home game (I'm stationed in Florida). I agree as well in thinking the Bengals will not get any prime time games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishbengal Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 thanks - I knew the dates to the fixtures were due sometime in April and I'll get them sometime during Wednesday over here. Hopefully there will be a favourable date or two to make a trip over for a game either home or away ... or both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
