Two FBS opponents in 2013???

Re: Two FBS opponents in 2013???

The athletic department should send every member of the PSC a list of 50 alumni names that are not PSC members. You have to make 1 call a night and try and raise money from those 50 names. I'd do it in a heart beat.

That's as classy as when they sell their contact database to credit card companies and other places.

(doesn't affect me, as I'm not an alum. I'm just talking about the idea in general)

Minnesota would be a great choice, I would make that trip. Play early in the year and catch a Twins game the next day.

Completely different.

By your response, I'm guessing your job is not in sales. TD currently has a HUGE sales job on his hands if you are not aware...

I also had a buddy who attended Univ of Iowa....and he had a job with their Alumni Association during college. He would sit in front of a phone for 4 hours 3 days a week calling alumni and trying to get them to donate.

So the point above is not an uncommon practice. Sometimes you just need to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

This is just my opinion. You can have yours. I'd be willing to do the above to help.

IIRC, they are still D-I nonschlorship as a member of the Pioneer League. Either way, your attendance figures are about right. I saw them on TV opening weekend (yes, they had a nationally televised game) and I don't think there was 2500 people in the stands.

Yeah, the NCAA forced Drake back into I-AA back in '93 or so when they instituted the Dayton rule. That was the impetus for forming the Pioneer Football League (all former D-III schools that were/are basically FCS in name only).

What channel was their game broadcast on?

I believe UNI has pretty much the same thing. Almost every college does that.

living in Colorado I would love nothing more than to play CU and shut these people up. They suck and will for years....... Chitown, I would make a few calls with you! Matter of fact we can make some this weekend when we get together to watch our Panthers dominate!

Fox Sports XXXXX (don't recall). They were playing LeHigh wich likely lead to the televised game. Too bad they stunk dunkey balls that day....

No MAC teams, though I wish thsoe p*ssies at NIU would play us.

And I'm sick to death of Iowa and Iowa State. Minnesota is a great idea.

This. They're always calling.

Re: Two FBS opponents in 2013???

Who would you like to see assuming they keep alternating IOWA and ISU?

Cincinnati, Miami, Ohio U, Ohio St., Bowling Green, Kent St., Ball St., Indiana, Kentucky, Marshall, W. Virginia, W. Kentucky, Akron, Purdue, Notre Dame, Illinois, Toledo and maybe LSU.

What's always? Once or twice a year. Hardly always. Always would be more than that. I get called no more than twice a year. Not always. You must be a great contributor to UNI to get called always. Always is really a lot. You must be tired of UNI. You need some rest. Be sure to always get your rest.

Re: Two FBS opponents in 2013???

i would welcome any school that wants to face us. We need the money. Though beating Minnesota would be sweeeeeet

Jay...you're not a UNI alum? I did not know that. Where did you graduate from college?

Cincinnati, Miami, Ohio U, Ohio St., Bowling Green, Kent St., Ball St., Indiana, Kentucky, Marshall, W. Virginia, W. Kentucky, Akron, Purdue, Notre Dame, Illinois, Toledo and maybe LSU.

For selfish reasons.... I agree (less LSU). Especially since we will likely be at both YSU and IN State in 2013. With minimal driving we could see 3 games!

I'd still love to see a Big 10 / MVFC "challenge". Play a different team every year on a rotation. It would be fun to play in the big house and horse shoe every decade.
