    also I would be instead of a FBS, since we had an FBS game this year I don't mind our OOC games, but if we didn't have the gophers it would have been nice to get a consistently better program to come to Brookings, and I don't care if its a home and away contract say with Montana state to make that happen.

      Yes! I was going to go back and change it. I'd rather see the good home game than worry about losing it. I actually think we should have more of them instead of this many cupcake games. If we have one cupcake game a year (which is what we normally have for an 11 game season) that is enough or too many already. I'm almost in the camp that even if you only have 5 home games every 3 years or so, it's worth it to have good games at home.

      This years home games would have been a Big Sky FCS team and a cupcake. That makes it only one home cupcake game. I can handle that. That would mean you have a good non-conference game at home. Of course, the only way we could schedule this game is because we had a 12 game season. We got two home games against Drake because we had a 12 game season so we could justify playing them on the road.

        I am totally good with us going on the road to drake also. Honor the 2 for 1 year we had. It would have been a rather easy road win and I think its important to hold up our contracts with smaller schools like that. not just buy them out like many schools do. But since drake wanted to play in brookings apparently its hard to turn down another home game so that skews the OOC home games schedule.

          I dont think it is a matter of trading this opponent for that opponent. We lucky to get what we can. If we can get 6 home games more power to the scheduling staff. Our choices are often limited.

            My concern is how does this help our seeding at the end of the year? I understand the want to have better games to watch. However, if NDSU continues their run and the Jacks can't manage a #2 seed, it is all a bit moot in the long run.

              Our margin for error in seeding is small with NDSU's consistent run. No problem with FBS on the road and two cupcakes at home before a tough conference schedule.

                Tartleton State on 2020 schedule. Is this another 12 game schedule year or are they taking the place of Dixie St?

                  According to the TSU website, the game is in Brookings on 11/14/20, meaning that Ficie State must have been rescheduled or bought out. We were set to play DSU on 11/14, so that game appears to have been replaced with Tarleton.

                    Just play a double header then you can have a 12 game schedule with them.

                      That’s going to be a tough draw? Maybe 2,000?

                        I had no idea who Tarleton State was so I consulted the Intertubes . . . the Texans (aayup, Texans) are reclassing to D-I and FCS, going into the WAC and FCS independent.

                          Dixie St is now 10/2/21. Or were they scheduled for two home games already?

                          11 games schedules completed through 2022 season. Each season w/ 6 home games.

                            They had other Dixie State games scheduled besides the one next season, so I'm guessing the 2021 game was already on the books.

                              I agree. That's essentially how NDSU does it. Set yourself up to do well in the conference and seeding will take care of itself.

                                It’s odd that they are not headed to the Southland conference.
