2006 Football Schedule Is Announced....

[CanuckPanther]

(From Winder) If junior is on the travel squad, we'll make all of the games. Looking into renting a motorhome - ouch!

Any Panther Parent friendly renters out there??

Hey, Winder, I met junior, and he is one great guy! If he makes the travel squad, the dogs and I will share that rental with you (but since it is such a distance, you will likely have to put up with us in between games, too LOL)

Just curious.

You guys know that the 2006 USD (University of South Dakota) football schedule was anounced, right?

On Sept. 9th they have Minnesota-Crookston listed.


Who are you guys playing on the 9th?


NDSU has an opening. You know, that school you used to play in the old NCC?


We need a home game, though. Think you could manage a trip to Fargo in 06 with a return game in 07?

It's Eastern Washington. Out There

[Panthers to the Bone]

Is that for sure bcrawf? That would mean UNI has only 5 home games this year (I think).

[UNIAlum95]

Back to five...

If we are indeed playing out there, that means only 5 home games.

[BCPanther]

One of the EWU guys that comes on here said that we were on their schedule out there as the first year of a home and home on September 9.

If this is true, I like the move to throw in a tough early road game, it will only make us better in the long run. Plus a win over a good team on the road can maybe help us get a seed in the Playoffs so we can play in the Dome.

I don't think it is a sure thing. That post also says they are talking to NDSU. I didn't see anything about it on the EWU site, but it might have been in the subscription part.

MiloCat - It is not a sure thing as of yet but our ADs are talking. We are also working with NDSU as well about possibly playing on that date. All this is realitively new and is not being discussed on EagSports.com. We also have some very attractive offers from D1-A schools but only want one money game with Oregon State. Our tentative schedule is posted on our football website but we haven't officially announced it yet because we are still trying to fill this date. My question, was if any of you Panther fans close to the athletic department have heard of the possibility of this game happening. The offer is definitely for UNI to visit EWU on that date. I hope that it happens and I think that it would be one of the best matchups in I-AA that weekend. Go Eagles!!!

Somewhat sorry to see the tentative date with South Dakota is gone, with SDU announcing its schedule without us on that day, as I went through school with South Dakota and South Dakota State as regular conference games, and loved it. But a game with EWU could be interesting, as I could "possibly" get there to watch it in Cheney, except Cheney does not appear to be "visitor friendly" as per the websites. Everyone seems to have to stay in Spokane, not Cheney......seems strange, when there is a university in Cheney...and I would prefer to not have to rent a car to drive once I am there...

[eagle1]

I am not surprised that there is not much about Cheney on the internet but it is a fan friendly town for visitors. If and when this game becomes official, I will be more than glad to assist you with more information to make your visit to Cheney and EWU enjoyable. Go Eagles!!!

The tentative 2006 EWI schedule is found at http://www.ewu.edu/x32942.xml . They list Sept. 9th as TBA.

They're either getting a game with NDSU or UNI.


NDSU would be the better choice for EWU or UNI since we're just a transition team and both EWU and UNI are playoff teams in autobid conferences.

But if UNI and EWU hook up, we have a money game with the U of MN to fall back on.

[MplsBison]

So no news or what?

Does anyone post here anymore?

The MVC tourney was this past weekend and selection Sunday is coming up so people have BB on thier mind right now.

[jordana33]

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!

I'll second that. That was a loooooong day.
