Future Schedules

Re: Future Schedules

I don't know that we would beat Drake the way we are playing right now, but if anyone has seen Hawaii is winless this year...

Re: Future Schedules

Is next year another 12 game season? If so, that would mean we would only have 1 more game to get, correct?

We already know we have Iowa, Hawaii, and Northern Colorado. Presumably, we would be looking for a home D1 cupcake to round out the home schedule.

Yes, sir. 12 games next year. Somebody get Butler, Valpo, Dayton, or Drake on the phone....

Re: Future Schedules

Now, the one and only question, can we get an actual D1 team to come play in the dome? It is absolutely crucial for us to do so...

SE Missouri St would fit that bill...

The selection committee is implementing a new evaluation system that supposedly gauges the strength of opponents in such a way that a win over a good D2 win isn't totally meaningless, and could mean just as much as a win over a bad D1. Not sure exactly how the Pioneer League teams compare. Obviously we'd still prefer to get a D1 opponent, but if that doesn't work out, a home game against a D2 wouldn't be as "meaningless" as it had been considered in the past with the "7 D1 win" "rule"

And I'd have to imagine that if nothing worked out for the 27th, they could possibly consider a game on the 20th and have the idle date on the 27th. (yes, that would mean a shorter week, as Sunday would be more or less a travel day back from Hawaii)

Re: Future Schedules

I think we'd go with 11 games rather than play the 20th.

That Hawaii game is an 11:00PM Iowa time kick. That puts the game over at about 2:30AM and flying commercial back it will be late Sunday evening before we get back, if not Monday. Its just not reasonable to turn around and play that Saturday, especially after playing two FBS games in three weeks. Just my thoughts, so probably totally wrong

Ah, I didn't realize it was a night game (HI time), that does make a difference.
I don't think playing FBS games is necessarily all that much more physical than playing certain FCS games, especially against certain conference opponents.

On that note, I wonder if it is better to play NDSU early in the year (as we did this year), or later in the year (as we are next year).

Re: Future Schedules

Keep in mind that it takes a long time to reset the body clocks after a trip across that many time zones. Having a week off is a must.

[PantherChic]

Oh man-Hawaii is at 11 pm Iowa time? Crud. Either we go to Hawaii or stock up on Red Bull.
