Bracket Buster

[Panthers to the Bone]

Looks like Butler is not playing in this year's BB series. Bummer, b/c they would have been a road team and UNI a home team.

Butler will return to BB in 2012, so UNI should be pared opposite them.

Projecting out the 2011-12 schedule, it looks something like this:

H-UW-Milwaukee
H-Iowa
H-MWC/MVC Challenge

A-Iowa State
A-Old Dominion
A-Bracket Buster Return game from 2010-11
A-Bracket Buster game in Feb 2012

PTTB, are you sure that the return game from this coming year will be immediately returned? I thought one of the reasons for the year delay-in addition to being able to re-set home/away teams was to get away from having both BB events each year being played at the same place (i.e. home 'return' game in fall and home 'initial' game in spring or both road). I thought the year lapse was going to be permanent.

Re: Bracket Buster

I do not believe the year lapse will be permanent. UNI is one of the chosen teams (from my understanding) to have back to back home games to help reset the the field. Most teams that played at home last year, will go on the road this year. Thus, the following year most teams will have an away game and a home game each year, rather than two home or two aways. UNI is just one of the few teams that will have a doubled up schedule.
