Future Schedules

Re: Future Schedules

I received my "State" magazine today. It lists the following schedule for 2019.

Sept 7. Delaware State
Sept. 21 Southern Utah
Oct. 5 Southern Illinois
Oct 26 NDSU
Nov. 9 Illinois State
No. 16 Northern Iowa

I don't think I knew about the Delaware State game. That must be our 12th game.

It must have been set some time ago to already be listed in print in a magazine.

Has anyone been able to verify this? I'm sure it must be happening if it is in that magazine, but I can find nothing on either teams websites about the game. Would like to know the details such as if this is a home and home deal or are we paying them to just come here?

Re: Future Schedules

12-game schedules are nice if you get that extra home game, but that doesn't happen often. Looking back, we've only had three seasons with 12 regular season games - 2014 (including D3 Wisconsin-Oshkosh), 2013, and 2008.

The 2008 season is looking like the best schedule on paper. Six home games against all FCS schools, including 4 from MVFC plus McNeese and Cal Poly. One revenue game at Iowa State.

A 12th game may be nice for next year, but getting 16 days after playing Minnesota with a new starting QB may be a nice coaching opportunity.

Last year, no MVFC team played more than 11 regular season games. Moreover, a number of conference mates had to schedule lower level teams to get an 11-game schedule. Minnesota, Drake and Southern Utah is a good non-conference schedule. The bonus part is that traveling to Minneapolis and Des Moines to see non-conference games is easy to travel to and I suspect relatively affordable.

Re: Future Schedules

FYI: Rob Peterson is long gone from the staff. Matt Maher holds that position. Not sure if he is involved with scheduling or not. I would suspect scheduling falls to Marc Davis, and maybe in conjunction with Maher or somebody from the athletic administration.

Yes I know Rob is long gone. I just looked at the Staff at gojacks, I don’t know anyone. Whomever. has this job, it will not easy to fill the twelfth game.

Re: Future Schedules

Anyone have any news on a 12th game this year? Would have to think we are still looking for another home game. Have to wonder if the beat down on Arkansas pine bluff will make Justin sells job of finding teams to come here more difficult.

I don't believe Justin handles the details of scheduling but has a staff assistant doing this. Rob(last name I dont recall) Peterson Perhaps? the last one I talked to, handled this and maybe two years ago Rob told several of us at that, there are many FCS schools who do not want to come to Brookings, whether DJD has changed that I dont know. It just that so many east coast schools consider Brookings being off the beaten path. After all Brookings, no longer has a commercial airline serving the area. Of course there is SF and we are only an hour away. These folks don't know this. I dont think the beat down of APBU had much affect on anyone else except maybe the HBC colleges ane even the coach thought they should have put a better fight, and he said Stig should not apologize. APBU finished the season 2-9, so it was a rebuilding year for them.


At any rate getting that 12th game might be a task.

Re: Future Schedules

would love to get a home and home with UC Davis, SHSU, Kennesaw, heck maybe even Duquesne(I like those guys) to fill that 9/7 slot.

I approve of this message. Anyone of the "good" crappy conference schools would be great.

Re: Future Schedules

I'm guessing it will be a late Hobo Day. Is there a list of the previous Hobo Day dates? I feel like there have been multiple on the last or 2nd to last weekend in October in the last decade alone.

Agreed, and there has.

10-14-17
10-22-16
10-24-15
10-25-14
10-5-13
10-27-12
11-5-11.

Hobo Day will obviously be WIU on 10-31 that year.
