Tells you who the premiere FCS teams are. What a great recruiting tool.

How amazing would this have been if these two games were on the same weekend?

Wow - Jackrabbits are going to take on Montana in Vegas in 2029 at Allegiant Stadium. NDSU and Montana St are meeting there in 2027.

Ugh. I've been looking forward to the Tarleton/SDSU game in Stephenville for a couple of years. I have many Tarleton friends. I went to their game vs ACU this past season. And now I can't find any information regarding what promoted another cancellation. This crap is maddening. To further the frustration, former Jackrabbit Dawson Rudd has committed to Tarleton. There should be some sort of penalty involved for backing out like they have done, if that's the case.

I was actually looking forward to going down to Texas for that game.

Appears Tarleton backed out of playing us once again, we host Mercyhurst instead now. Rest of OOC schedule is the same as before.

I wonder if we told them that game needed to be at Dana J to fulfill their missed game? Makes no sense for us to play a one game road series with someone especially early season when we are getting good crowds.

Was bored and decided to look up the Jacks 2025 schedule. FBSchedules now lists the Jacks hosting Sacramento State on August 30th, Drake no longer listed. Sac State’s website also has this game listed.Would mean the current OOC slate goes like this:

August 30th - vs Sacramento State
September 6th - @ Montana State
September 20th - @ Tarleton State

Open date on the 13th would need to be filled as I’m pretty sure 2025 is another 12 game season. The Drake page on FBSchedules still lists SDSU with a TBA date.

Has anyone heard anything about this? Haven’t seen any announcements or anything. This would be an extremely good OOC slate. Hopefully the Drake game still happens so we get all D1 games in OOC play.

EDIT: Didn't see Drake was still listed below the conference games, so I’d imagine that’s the September 13th game as noted by Zimmer previously.

Assuming Tarleton doesn’t back out again, next years OOC will be very good. Montana State is self-explanatory. Tarleton is 5-1 and ranked #13 and have been improving each year since moving up, so that’ll be a good one. Drake will be like it always is, but at least they’re one of the top Pioneer teams.

I am interested to see who we fill in for that final game. Pretty sure 2025 is another 12 game season for the FCS. I’d expect we throw another D2 team on there (hopefully a local one), but another intriguing option would be UT-Rio Grande Valley who will be in their first season as a program and still doesn’t have a schedule listed.

Given it's an away game for Jacks, I doubt Tarleton reneges this time. Even if they move to FBS, it shouldn't impact next year's schedule.

I looked at next year's Future Football Scedules. On the Jackrabbits schedule, the Montana State schedule, and the Drake schedule we are listed for September 6,2025 to have a home game against Drake AND a game on the road at Bozeman. Does anyone know what is really scheduled?

'Cats have Jacks listed on 9/6/25, and Zim's summer non-con schedule summary echoes that, while also listing Drake on 9/13/25.

I had been expecting next year's game to disappear from our schedule. Perhaps we don't have a better schedule option. Maybe Tarleton will add a trip to Brookings in the near future.

I hope they have to pay the Jacks to go there.

I believe we still have a game at Tarleton State on our schedule next year. They are currently on ESPN2 hosting McNeese. It looks like they have plenty of seats today. Put it on your calendars.

You are correct, according to Zim.

I'll likely never respect Tarleton State due to their backing out of game a couple years ago, forcing Jacks to play Lindenwood. It'd take something like learning that Tarleton couldn't afford the trip.
