I'm sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for it to be released. Last year the schedule was released on January 24. Does anyone know if things are up in the air, or what might be holding this up?

The 2006 schedule is listed at the bottom of the original post.
The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.
I think that South dakota and south dakota state university are both trasitioning into I-AA from D-II. So I don't know if they are techniclly D-IAA or D-II.
South Dakota State is D-IAA started transition in 2004http://www3.sdstate.edu/Athletics/Di...tudy/Index.cfm
and I stand corrected South dakota university is D-II my apologies
Oh, and let me make this perfectly clear to you people: you go to UNI, NOT IOWA. The Hawkeyes and their fans do not give a crap if you remain "true to them" or some stupid self-fulfulling bullcrap like that.-OTP
What i say are my opinions and mine alone, and not that of anyone associated with me.
Second, I don't think the schedule below is official until they post it on unipanthers.com. Here's my take:
2006 Schedule
August
Aug. 31 at Drake - At the new stadium, hope it's on TV in Colorado.
September
Sept. 9 South Dakota - should get a lot of their fans in the Dome.
Sept. 16 South Dakota State 4:05PM - same as SD.
Sept. 23
Sept. 30 at Iowa State - Tailgating will be unbelievable.
October
Oct. 7 Missouri State (Homecoming) - Tough game. No gimme.
Oct. 14 at Indiana State - well, you know.
Oct. 21 at Youngstown State - TOUGH game.
Oct. 28 Western Illinois - WIU is probably still down a litte, but who knows.
November
Nov. 4 Western Kentucky - TOUGH as usual.
Nov. 11 at Southern Illinois - TOUGH game.
Nov. 18 Illinois State 5:05PM - TOUGH game, we need revenge.
December
NC Game, Chattanooga
So, do I buy tickets and sit in the most uncomfortable stadium in the free world (Jack Trice), or do I pick out a great tailgating spot and listen to Rima on the Radio on the 30th? I've never tailgated before, so I think I'm leaning towards the all day radio experience.

Hopefully it will be a night game again like it was a couple of years ago, that 6 o'clock start in 03' kicked my a$$! 10 hours of Tailgaiting was tough!
Illinois State Fan at a St. Louis White Castle 3:45AM Saturday March 6th:
2006 Schedule
August
Aug. 31 at Drake - At the new stadium, my guess is that it will be on KFXA/KDSM.
September
Sept. 9 South Dakota - Iowa plays at Syracuse, and ISU plays at home...should be an average crowd.
Sept. 16 South Dakota State 4:05PM - the same day as Iowa/ISU...never a good crowd.
Sept. 23---Bye Week...shouldn't have too many tough injuries to get rested
Sept. 30 at Iowa State - I hope this gets on tv, but my guess is probably not...what would it take for KFXA/KDSM to air this game outside of approval from ISU?
October
Oct. 7 Missouri State (Homecoming) - It's Iowa HC too...ISU hosts Nebraska...could be a tough draw, but it is Homecoming.
Oct. 14 at Indiana State ---not sweating this one too much (Iowa/ISU are both on the road...would have been a good weekend to have a home game)
Oct. 21 at Youngstown State - Should be a Gateway Game of the Week type game--I'm sure Jonsoup will be pumped about this game!
Oct. 28 Western Illinois - Should be a good crowd...Iowa plays NIU and ISU is on the road
November
Nov. 4 Western Kentucky - Should be a good crowd...UI/ISU both play at home---Should be a televised game
Nov. 11 at Southern Illinois - Should be a televised game
Nov. 18 Illinois State 5:05PM - ISU plays at home, UI is on the road...should be a huge game with huge implications...there should be a big crowd.
The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

Jeg-
You are a master tailgater...I have no worries that you will have revenge on ISU's 10 hours of tailgating and be able to kick their butt this year.
My guess is that the game will be a night game. Jamie Pollard (ISU AD) said last week that one suggestion from the fans that he is trying to work on is having games start in the early evening.

I would describe the tailgating at UNI/ISU in 2004 as "completely lawless," at least the section I was in, accross the street in the field. I would imagine that the prelude to a NASCAR race is pretty much the same, and I guess I'll find out when I go to Daytona next weekend.
Well, I don't know if anyone else has seen it yet, but Iowa State announced today that the game on September 30th will be at night. It's somewhat confusing, as one part of the schedule says it will be a 7 PM kickoff, but the newsrelease says 6 PM. Looks like three of their nonconference home games will be night games. The AD says that they're doing this to make the schedule more family friendly. I don't know, maybe I'm not a nice person, but it seems to me that ISU shouldn't be planning their schedule around Jr.'s soccer game.
Thought you'd all like to know.
