Interesting schedule. All the thoughest games are early in the season. Hopefully winning late will help in case we need an at large.Comment

What about staying in Sioux City and keeping the money in-state alleycat!
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.Comment

Brookings is still 140 miles away from Sioux City,
and while going over to SC and up doesn't add much more overall distance, it means spending a good chunk of the trip on 2-lane with towns and slower speed limits, which adds time (an extra hour according to mapquest estimates) vs. the all 4-lane route of 218/18/I-35/I-90/I-29.
I know you weren't being totally serious, but I thought I'd chime in anyway as I was considering making the road trip and staying with relatives in the Sioux City area.Comment

I'm all about going to Missouri State. That would be a fun trip for me as I still have a number of friends in the Springfield area."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

Why not Iowa for our money game in 2008? They have an opening according to hawkeyesports.com and they arent playing an FBS team yet.Sincerely,

That's always a possibility. I don't know if Iowa would want to play UNI in back to back seasons. Same goes for UNI, although I have a feeling if they were to play ISU back to back years, they would be willing to play Iowa in back to back years. It's something to keep an eye on.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.

USD has arrangements in place for five games so far in 2008, not counting impending agreements with Great West teams. Included on the schedule will be Northern Iowa, Winona State, Missouri-Rolla, North Dakota and most likely, West Texas A&M.
The glitch for 2008 is that USD and UND will be carrying a "non-counter" status during the first season of their move to the Football Championship Subdivision, formerly known as Division I-AA. As non-counters, wins over USD or UND will not count toward a team's victory total for the purpose of determining playoff bids.
------------------------------------
So, UNI will most likely have an all-D1 schedule in 2008, although USD doesn't count as a D1 win. They will be in the transitionary status.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.

Brewster to beef up schedule at Minnesota
Wasn't there a post somewhere about us possibly playing Minny in the future?? I can't find it and my mind is a sieve at the moment. Anyway, I think this is all bunk... Brewster can say this all he wants but the truth is, you can't just magically schedule BCS teams, especially if you want to maintain the 7 home games.
Anyway, it seemed semi-related.
Did we ever find out if there was a chance for '08?? Would love to have a chance for 5,000+ UNI fans to come to the Dome for the game. Anything after '08 will be in the new stadium and tickets won't be as readily available.Comment

Will a guy that talks like this last? I can understand these tactics in practice, but to publicly discuss them seems like an ego stroking.Brewster said his players have lost a cumulative total of 400 pounds of fat since he took over the program. Brewster said he instructed strength coach Mark Hill to push the players until they "surrender" in summer workouts.
The team also plants a spear in the ground before every workout. A white flag is on one end. If a player gives up during a workout, he has to parade around with the spear and white flag.
"It lets everybody know they surrendered," Brewster said. "There will be no surrender."
He seems to have a much grander view of Minnesota football than the rest of the country. I'm sure that high profile teams are going to be lined up and waiting to come to Minneapolis to play.If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

What's wrong with this schedule?
UNI should stop playing Drake all together. I know UNI likes playing Drake in Des Moines to let more of their Central Iowa fans see them play, but the Bulldogs don't take football serious and their won't be another game where they are with in 21 points for the foreseeable future. Replace Drake with the three teams at the top of the list or ISU.
Also, quit playing D2 teams. If they're going to do that, then play Upper Iowa and keep the money in the State and stop giving it to Minnesota schools that play or will be playing in Upper Iowa's conference.Go Panthers!Comment

That's a good question. I've had similar thoughts to yours. But people up here seem to be attaching to him so maybe there is something to it. The previous coach always seemed to hide behind the "crappy off-campus stadium in a cold weather climate" excuse. Now this guy comes in knowing that in a couple of years he'll have a state of the art on-campus venue, so there is less room to hide.Originally posted by UNIAlum95 View Post
It wasn't long ago people said you couldn't win at Wisconsin. I compare this guy to how Barry Alvarez handled his situation at UW initially. Most probably recall that when he came to Madison, UW was the lowest of the low in the B10 in almost every sport, and especially football (much worse off than Minnesota is currently). His first press conference he talked of his 5-year plan of taking the team to the Rose Bowl (he did it in 4), he ridiculed people for their defeatest (sp?) attitude, and he created this environment where winning was expected. People who didnt like it were eventually gone from the program and it eventually all paid off.
It takes a passion and a vision (something we at UNI have been so blessed by in football, m&w b-ball and vball) and maybe this guy has that. It remains to be seen.Comment
