Future Schedules

[jakejc795]

Wasn't Utah Tech scheduled for the 28th? I thought I read recently that one of the non-cons bought the game out. I assume Tech found an FBS opponent that will pay them double to get drilled that weekend. The buyout from Tech must be paying a nice fee to bring Augie in. I like that addition. It's a 12 game schedule with tough road games and a decent ICW coming to Brookings. Augie had a good year and we'll have a lot of new pieces so it probably won't be a gimme. It's a much more interesting game than say, Drake, in my opinion. And its probably not easy to add an opponent this late in the game.

Their site still lists the Jacks on 9/28, so maybe they haven't checked their texts

Some might be annoyed, but I like the Augie game too. If you're stuck having a D2 game, you might as well make it one that will actually help fill the place.

I love the idea of Augie. Should be a sellout. UIW also will be big as well. Bye week right before conference play again too. Quite the schedule.

[jakejc795]

Right now we have openings week 2 and 3 according to FBS schedules, my compiled list of MVFC games below. According to this Merriam/Sell interview you linked, they will be adding one more home game still - hope it's at least a D1 opponent. I would also really like to see us move week 10 Murray State to week 2 - they currently have an opening there too it seems. Not sure of the mechanics of that though. I really don't like such early-season bye weeks. Just seems like a massive waste...

Table notes - orange highlights are FBS - P5 games, green are FBS - G5 games, and blue are FCS OOC games. White cells are conference play (outside of yellow highlighting the SDSU games on opponent schedules). Murray State having two P5 games it sure something!

Surprised the addition of Augie on 9/14/23 hasn't received more press, although the Natty obviously takes precedence.

Merriam and Sell talked about it briefly during their segment on the pregame show (Illinois State 10.07.23 - 01:20:30 timestamp).
Sell said '24 and '25 are 12 game schedules, and one more game needs to be "put together" for '24.

Bumping this link with 2024 schedule to end of thread.
Is 2024 a year with a potential of 12 regular season games?

According to fbsschedules.com we play at Oklahoma State in 2024

FYI -- the sideline assignments for the Target Field game on 9/16 have been changed. Initial announcement (bottom image below) had Jacks on "outfield" sideline (near first/second base & right/center field), but now Jacks will be on "third base" sideline (top image below) .

I emailed the Jacks Ticket Office to confirm Jacks' sideline will be on 3rd base side, and they indicated it was indeed changed recently.

How did I change Indiana State to Eastern Indiana in my Lindenwood post? Must have been a TIA or something.

[jakejc795]

Didn't even notice til I rechecked their schedule that Lindenwood has only nine games scheduled, all FCS. They were 7-3 in their transition year thanks to two of the weakest GLVC, plus an NAIA team to beat up on. Two Mid-America and two KU FBS games in out years. Their '22 team was pretty much the same as the '21 team that the Jacks destroyed, and Lindenwood took Murray State apart. Something for Eastern Indiana and WIU (who Lindenwood scheduled) to dismantle in football. Time to think of Summit football.

I'm interested in learning if Lindenwood was ever approached about being first opponent this season

To stay away from Labor Day weekend ? Students likely gone by Saturday, and lots of people have stuff planned for the long weekend.[/QUOTE

i would guess you are correct. And people have plenty of time to take time off from work if needed. Ive already taken care of that. Wasnt excited about Western Oregon but looking forward to honoring the national champs and Coach Stig

Or making a MACtion trial run

[Grizzled_Jack]

Having a DII opponent is disappointing. Let's get creative; have Wolves play Yellowjackets, and Jacks play Tommies. Saves everyone travel, except Tommies.

It'll be interesting to see who Lindenwood ends up playing.

I'll be there. I would rather have a game on Saturday, but understand that probably doesn't work for most people. Jacks on Thursday, maybe roadtrip to another game on Saturday.

I never thought of the long weekend. I'm guessing the Thursday game will help with student attendance and hurt the rest of the crowd? I just remember a few years ago when we had a Thursday night game, and I was a little disappointed with the crowd other than the student section.

Honoring Stig and the Natty should help.Hopefully all of the excitement from Frisco will carry over.
