2011 Schedule

Re: 2011 Schedule

So if speculation is correct:

Sept. 3 Morgan State
Sept. 10 @ Illinois
Sept. 17 @ Cal Poly
Sept. 24 @ Illinois State
Oct. 1 Indiana State
Oct. 8 @ YSU
Oct. 15 UNI
Oct. 22 NDSU
Oct. 29 @ Missouri State
Nov. 5 Southern Illinois
Nov. 12 @ Western Illinois
Nov. 19th Open

Re: 2011 Schedule

IMHO, IF Cal POLY is a 2011 opponent, the ONLY date where SDSU & Cal Poly jointly are open is 9/17. And having only 3 home games, Poly HAS to get an opponent at home. SDSU & Poly have played as much since the move up as any team not NDSU. IIRC, this year is the only one where Poly WASN'T an opponent.

The fact that GOJACKS has Morgan St. vs Jacks should be a strong indication that SDSU and Morgan St. are playing the 1st home game.

So again, as long as Poly and Morgan St. are Jacks FCS opponents, this should be:

9/3 - Morgan St. (Cereal Bowl)
9/10 - @ Illinois
9/17 - @ Cal Poly
Then MO VALLEY the rest of the way.

No week off, and no game 11/19. Last home game, 11/5 (Hobo Day?)

I completely blanked out that Cal Poly was most likely already in the schedule. Thanks.

Re: 2011 Schedule

Great info. The first home game could be 9/17 though too correct? Thus making the game on the 17th the cereal bowl.

I certainly hope we have a home game before we travel to Illinois to face the Big 10 school.

Re: 2011 Schedule

Morgan St. is likely to be a "bought" opponent rather than a home and home. However, I like that MEAC teams are looking to add non-HBCU's rather than play up or SWAC opponents only. The beef on the MEAC is that they don't play tough FCS opponents OOC, and due to losing in the play-offs, are getting the reputation as an "easy" opponent come play-off time.

Morgan St. is in a ROUGH portion of Baltimore, and is a classic inner-city HBCU.

Cereal Bowl is typically the first home game? If so, this is likely to 9/3.

If rumor of a Cal-Poly game is true, 9-17, likely away, Jacks are set for games in 2011.

Re: 2011 Schedule

If any Jackrabbit fans are looking for an away game to attend, and we do indeed end up playing at Cal Poly, I would suggest that trip. Fun area to visit, great scenic stadium and campus, and fantastic weather. If Jerry Lohr ends up hosting an event again in conjunction with the game, that is a great event/opportunity as well.

I was fortunate to attend the game out there two years ago, and it was a blast. I thought that might be the last time we play out there for a while, but it looks like there might be another opportunity.

I've heard the same about the Lohr event as well. I have never been fortunate enough to attend but have heard great things from those who have.

Re: 2011 Schedule

Where is Morgan State? Are they Div. 1AA?

Morgan State is in Maryland. They are a FCS team in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, which is part of a grouping of schools that are HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), similar to Grambling or Southern University. The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference winner does have an automatic bid into the playoffs, this past year it was South Carolina State University.

Morgan State did travel to Fargo last year to play NDSU (Bison won 35-9), so they have been in these parts before. Looks like they went 4-7 last year, this should be a good game for us, but ultimately we should win.

Re: 2011 Schedule

Does Morgan State have an opening on September 3rd or 17th? I looked at their athletic website but couldn't find anything.

We might not know the date, but at least we know it's the Cereal Bowl.

Re: 2011 Schedule

If Morgan State is on the shedule it's either Sept. 3rd or Sept. 17th.

Sept. 3 Morgan State
Sept. 10 @ Illinois
Sept. 17 Open
Sept. 24 @ Illinois State
Oct. 1 Indiana State
Oct. 8 @ YSU
Oct. 15 UNI
Oct. 22 NDSU
Oct. 29 @ Missouri State
Nov. 5 Southern Illinois
Nov. 12 @ Western Illinois

OR

Sept. 3 Open
Sept. 10 @ Illinois
Sept. 17 Morgan State
Sept. 24 @ Illinois State
Oct. 1 Indiana State
Oct. 8 @ YSU
Oct. 15 UNI
Oct. 22 NDSU
Oct. 29 @ Missouri State
Nov. 5 Southern Illinois
Nov. 12 @ Western Illinois


There is still a need for another game, most likely an away game. This would have been a good opportunity to go up to UND on Nov. 19th and kick their butt. That would have given SDSU two easy wins and then would need to win 5 conference games. Another easy OOC game would be nice.

Excellent question.
