Official 2006 Football Schedule

If gas is that expensive, the people that go home everyweekend will just have mom and dad pay for it. There's a reason they go home everyweekend in the first place.

Reed is right. No matter how much we try to change things on campus, there are still people running for their cars and heading out on Thursdays and Fridays!

[CF Panther]

After watching "Farley's Five" on KWWL last night, I am fairly certain we will NOT be playing a IA opponent in our open week. He was careful not to come out and say it wouldn't happen, but he implied that we want homefield and to make another run at Chattanooga and that a IA game might not be in our best interest...

Then it's a 'mommy and daddy' issue...not a student issue. More mothers and fathers need to step up and say, "stay at college this weekend - it's part of the experience." Or they need to drag their butts to Cedar Falls and spend some money in the Cedar Valley visiting their kids.

Farley said at last night's PSC rally that it's looking like North Dakota may be the team that fills that Sept. 9th open date.

KWWL is also reporting tonight it looks to be North Dakota.

North Dakota instead of South Dakota? I don't mind that exchange. A lot of North Dakota fans think there's little difference between DII and DI-AA, so now's their chance to prove it.

I hope they make the trip down. Sioux fans are very passionate about their football, and especially hockey (D-II football team averages almost 10K a game, hockey is always near the top in D-I attendance). I've always enjoyed them at many of the WCHA and NCAA hockey events where we've mingled with them. That said, I've always enjoyed beating them a lot more than I've enjoyed their company (what happened in the Frozen Four Sioux? What??? What??? )

Most of the football schedule has been put together. A couple things I did notice: the South Dakota State game on Sept. 16th is Family Day. That's also the date of the Iowa/ISU football game. I hope that it's well attended.

What a mistake! Family day is usually one of the best attended games of the year. I know they can't help it most of the time but they really need to avoid scheduling home games during the Iowa/ISU game.

[GonzoCat]

Family day the day of the Iowa/ISU game and homecoming the same day as Iowa Homecoming, wow. In the past they have gone to great lengths to avoid conflicts as much as possible. This year they seem to have changed that policy 180 degrees. I don't know if it's coincidental or by design, but I hope they know what they are doing.

[panther2317]

Let's just hope the two games aren't being played at the same time. If they aren't...it's not a big deal. Go Panthers.

[pantherclaw]

Damn straight, Saw we passed up florida, BYU and Hawaii, but I agree with the call of scheduling a D-II. Hopefully we can pull out a W at ISU this year? That'd be friggin sweet.

[Jonsoup]

Where did you see we past up games with Florida and BYU?

[uninisg]

That was reported on KWWL on Sunday night I believe

Thanks for the information!
