Re: 2011 schedule

Eastern Washington has 4 home games this year...and only 3 of them are at their home stadium as they are playing a neutral site game as a "home game"

They're just trying to not have to play on that gosh-awful red field.

Gosh-awful red field and NC trophy in the same year.

Coincidence?

8-0 on that awful turf as well.

Yes..........UNI should change it's school colors to green and white and test out the theory. It's cheaper to get new unis than to change the color of the turf.
As an added bonus the new colors would not sit well with our buddies at NDSU.

4 home games really stinks.

Re: 2011 schedule

the good thing is that at least we have Iowa State on the schedule, which is a quasi-home game for our group. I bet they are working hard on a 5th home game, though.

A possible 4 home game schedule? When did we join the MAC?

A few of us on this board are also "fist pumping" at the idea. I actually work with a few Ohio fans. This game would be a lot of fun for us.

On the flip side, I just don't see an advantage for UNI... another away game and not much of a pay day. Why play the game????

Re: 2011 schedule

Ohio is the wrong MAC team to play. They're good.

T aaking a small check is better than paying a patsy, imo...

depends on the economics.

for the MAC game (or any FBS game really), there is the paycheck, but you have to subtract travel costs and the fact that it is a road game (loss of ticket revenue, plus possibly alienating some of your fans by only having 4 home games in a season)

"patsy": yes, you have to pay them to come in, but you do get ticket revenue and the extra home game makes your fans/season ticket holders happier. Of course, if the only "patsy" you can afford to bring in is sub-Division I, you're also hurting your playoff chances right off the bat by having one less potential win (yes, the FBS game is likely a loss too, but there is a chance of winning, and that win would help when it comes to playoff selection)
