Ravens 2008 schedule released
April 15, 2008
Trees are budding, flowers are blooming and the 2008 schedule of the National Football League has been announced. So begins a new season for football fans everywhere, including those of the Baltimore Ravens who — perhaps more than most fans — are ready to forget that 2007 even happened.
And why not? With a new head coach, a top 10 draft pick and an exciting 2008 schedule, the coming season is one of hope for Baltimore.
Among the highlights: opening the season at home — for the first time since 2005 — against the Bengals; a primetime game against rival Pittsburgh; and the November face-off between John Harbaugh and his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles.
We have a well-timed bye right before playing the 2007 Super Bowl champs, and are never away from home for more than two weeks. Of course, we play the Colts again for the fifth consecutive year.

I won’t make predictions for the coming season — putting me in a small minority among football fans — but I definitely believe this season won’t be one to forget.
