2006 Football Schedule Is Announced....

[jordana33]

First of all, I'm pretty sure SD is D-II.

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

IF that ISU game is at 6. Oh boy my liver is going to take a beating that day. Another good schedule. Another run to Chattanooga. Interesting that Terry Allen's return to the Dome is Homecoming. Like that a lot. This pumps me up for football baby.

So, in the course of 60 or so days, two former UNI head men will make their grand return, in their first years at a new school, to the UNI-Dome.

They might want to look into reinforcing the foundation of that place, becuase it's gonna rock, and hard.

Just thought I'd give everyone an update as of this morning as to where the scheduling stands at this point...

Update: it's not done They're having a ton of trouble gettin people to want to play us that we would also be willing to play. For example, Hawaii would like to play us -- but we really don't want to travel to Hawaii at that point in the season.

Please tell me that everything humanly possible is being done to avoid scheduling a DII cupcake this year! Even an independent IAA helps move us towards the magic 8 DI win total, but beating on the cupcakes is a wasted game...

A road trip to Hawaii....

I'd have to think about that.

If the University of Hawaii is willing to bring us out our University would be foolish not to take advantage. That would be giving our team a once in a lifetime opportunity not to mention if they could set up some sort of 3 or 4 year rotation with the rainbows that would be a huge recruiting tool.

Ohio U is looking for another home game as of late February and I don't think they have one for 9/9 yet.

I don't want any part of Ohio U in Solich year 2!!

Speak for yourself. Athens is only 3 hours away from me. Now they are looking to schedule a BCS conference school but beggars can't be choosers.

A game against Hawaii would not be good, IMO. The reason why is due to travelling cross country. I have heard from coaches at SIU that when they played at Hawaii in basketball a few years ago that it really hurt them. The turnaround in trip time, the time being away from class, and the time in the air, really affect players' physical and mental fatigue. I personally have never felt that, but this is what I have heard from collegiate coaches. Thought some should know.

Bring that stuff on.

I would love to play in Hawaii. So I can see the Stan Sheriff Arena. Named after our famous coach and athletic director we once had.

It would be a challenge and Hawaii is not a push over. Is Jones still the head coach? You would want a bye week afterward to recoup. But it might be a once in a lifetime chance for these kids to go to Hawaii.

I shouldn't have gotten everyone's hopes up when I mentioned Hawaii -- Farley really really doesn't want to go there Maybe if it were the very first game of the season or the very last -- but it's too far to go to do it in the middle of the season.
