Is it complete? Does anyone have it?

Good question. I hope that our Athletic Department stops sacrificing the football team for a big payday, unless of course the game is with ISU or Iowa. Why not schedule Drake or other non-scholly IAA programs to work towards another playoff run? It's too bad that it comes to scheduling patsies instead of solid competition, but apparently that is what goes in IAA football. Two years ago, the 4 teams we lost to were all very solid programs; and close games for the most part. However, we were left home, when we were clearly one of the top 16 teams in IAA. Has anyone heard if the game at Drake Stadium is official for 06? What are the chances of a game with ISU? I would also like to see us play lower-tier I-AA programs than Division II if at all possible. Thumping Minnesota State University is nice for a tuneup, but we could get the same thing against a lower-tier I-AA; and have the game count toward making the playoffs. Just a few random thoughts from me...Originally posted by UNI MadCat

Iowa State is definately back on the schedule next year and for the next two or three after that. I agree though it would be great to see some other top teams from 1AA conferences on the schedule. I know that budgets are tight but we really need to find a way to play some of these other schools once in a while.Originally posted by CF PantherGood question.

Only one home OOC game, that's kind of a drag, but I'm excited for that game at SDSU, a good, quality, regional opponent. First home conference game in Homecoming, that's different, tough games AT YSU and AT SIU, gonna have to get er done on the road a little next year.Comment

Well, seeing as how we play 11 games, and Illinois State is a definite game, regardless of when it happens, I would say that this is our schedule for next season! This is a very nice schedule. NWSU is typically a decent team; I believe that they are from TXSU's conference. I also notice not a SINGLE DII school; all IAA or ISU! I like that a lot!!! NWSU will be a tough early non-con road test, as will ISU. I also like to see that we'll be playing at Drake Stadium. Should give some people from that area a more managable trip to see the Panthers! It's also an early season game, so hopefully it will be nice under the lights for that one!Originally posted by JCPanthersComment

The ISU game is late, usually that's a very early game.Comment

True. The Iowa game this year was kind of the same way. I think I like that though. Gives the team a couple of games to gel before taking on the "big boys". Judging from our showing this year at Kinnick vs. 2 years ago at Trice; I would say that not having that as the first game can't hurt...Originally posted by AmesPantherComment

I dont ever like to see a season with only 5 home games. That hurts. Maybe we can convince ISU to come to the Dome ?

What are you talking about MadCat?? I see 8 home games on that schedule...3 of them are still "Opponent to be Determined..."Originally posted by UNI MadCatI dont ever like to see a season with only 5 home games. That hurts. Maybe we can convince ISU to come to the Dome ?

Not only would that mean UNI missing out on a bunch of money, but I don't know where we'd come up with enough money to entice ISU here.Originally posted by UNI MadCatI dont ever like to see a season with only 5 home games. That hurts. Maybe we can convince ISU to come to the Dome ?Comment

Has a Div I-A ever played at a I-AA? I'm sure its happened SOMETIME, right?Comment

The second. They are new to 1AA. Looks like we lose a home game due to being at Drake and at NWSU. Not real good planning there. Five games is terrible for our program! Only one two game home stand. That's a bunch of junk!If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game.
