Cullowhee, N.C. - Head coach Mark Speir today announced Western Carolina's 2012 Football Schedule.  The schedule includes five home games and a season-opener against Mars Hill in Cullowhee.  In other "out of conference" games, the Cats will travel to meet the Thundering Herd of Marshall and end the season at the BCS defending national champion, Alabama.

"We are very excited about our 2012 Football schedule. It is going to be arguably one of the toughest lineups in America," said Speir "It should be a great test for the 2012 Catamounts. We are expecting great crowds for our five home contests. E.J. Whitmire Stadium will be rocking this fall with some exciting Catamount Football."
