What does MTE stand for?

Multi Team Event

[CyCarp]

No games officially announced for Nebraska yet, but they did change course today and said fans will no longer be allowed.

What does MTE stand for?

Mediterranean Taco Entree. One of the most common foods served at these types of events, so common that they named the style of play after them.

Don't look that up.

Confirmed.

FWIW, Illinois St will be playing Ohio St in place of the Golden Window Classic. I'm curious if we're looking into alternatives at this point. 9 days out, no schedule, and looking for another team still.

In other news, Loyola had a positive test and is now shut down. Gonna be a long season.

Also, the NCAA will have the entire tourney in one location - likely Indianapolis.

It'd be kinda hard to find a decent replacement at this point at this point. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if UNI and SLU bounce on the tourney and play a game on their own, or hell, even do an in-season home-and-home, since it sounds like that's the only confirmed game thus far.

Here is what Muller said about the Nebraska MTE. Apparently they're in an MTE in Columbus, so not just playing Ohio St.

“Too much uncertainty trying to get the right number of teams in, who we were going to play, and with so much uncertainty there I decided to pull out and find something else, and obviously we have.”

Illinois State was also pretty low on the totem pole there. I'm guessing they were getting fed to LSU, SLU and Nebby. Dan can't afford to be 0-3.

We have another signed contract!

Green Bay comes to Cedar Falls on Dec 12th.

hmmm... but whatever issue they had, they solved by scheduling Ohio State and an unknown team.
In Matt Norlander's tweet, he said, "The Golden Window Classic — yes, that is the real name,...must be demanding royalties?"

[Irocon]

Well, it looks like we are not playing western Kentucky ( only playing 2 games) Nevada and LSU, or LSU playing San Fransico, Western Kentucky, and Saint Louis according to Sheldon Mickles LSU beat reporter. So besides Saint Louis, we have 2 of Nebraska, Nevada, or San Fransico assuming no one else joins.

[sevelev711]

I'd be okay with any of those, but obvs I want Nebraska. I can't tell if that matchup is more or less likely given how good UNI is.

Also, great to hear about that Green Bay game. I...have doubts about fans being in attendance, but home games are always good.

[CyCarp]

McNeese State appears to have taken Illinois States place. They released their schedule and play Nebraska on Wednesday. Day 1 schedule seems pretty set, after that is questionable.

[UNI Ka-Bullseye]

We have another signed contract!

Green Bay comes to Cedar Falls on Dec 12th.

But no non-con games listed on the website yet?
