    Re: MVC Exhibitions

    I know, I know ......... but C'Mon there had to be someone available to play that would be a nice warm-up game and not a complete RPI killer (or heaven forbid you have the balls to play another solid opponent for your home opener). Playing Coe just for the $$$ of another home game that doesn't hurt your RPI seems like a cop-out and weak sauce to me. Either play a D-I school or don't play at all.

    I know its just one game and I should get over it, but seeing a D-III school on the regular schedule just looks like poo ......... (and I'm getting an earful from my Iowa State Co-workers when they look at my poster in my office).

      If we could get a solid home opponent we would.

        Exactly, it's not that we're scared to play a good team. It's that no good team wants to come to the McLeod and play us for our opener. So its either Coe or another SIU-Edwardsville. Ill take Coe.

              Also, to play a NJIT or Alcorn State, it costs upwards of $50K. Those teams tour the country looking for the best paydays and don't play many (if any) non-conference games at home. Coe probably costs around $5-10K (max). Plus...as many have said also, UNI doesn't have the unlimited budget to bring other smaller D1 schools in, and those 'buy' games usually result in RPI's in the 250+ range...not good.
              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.

                Didn't ISU drop basketball a few years ago?
