A lot of this thread sounds like what the Husker fans were saying when they scheduled us the first and second time. I'll be at the game. My thought is whatever is best for the team. I'm not sure if this is what the coaches wanted, but I do know that a win goes a long way in keeping a team rolling. Schedule a patsy, beat the piss out of them, and get the boys' confidence up for the conference schedule. I'll pay my $20 extra per ticket if the coaches think this game will help them reach their goals. Go Jacks!

I'm disappointed because it's a non-counter. D3's do not count for the Simple Rating System (SRS) that the NCAA uses in determining playoff teams.
So, if the Jacks lose to Mizzou (which they probably will), they'll need to win 8 of 10 FCS games in order to be a sure thing to make the playoffs.
That's tough with games at UNI, at ISU-Red, at NDSU, at SUU. Slim margin of error there. I was hoping they'd get at least a counter.
Yeah, that and why playing mizzu isnt such a great deal, getting paid but a loss most likely and put the team behind the ultimate goal of making the playoffs. the goal of winning the confrence should be first, but its a tough game to accept. atleast it should be an easy win.

Exactly. This game is a waste. God forbid an injury happens. In the MVFC you need to schedule 'counters' as your cream puff game(s), especially if you have a sure loss on the schedule (FBS). Didn't NDSU schedule a D2 team last year that was considered a counter? This is an epic scheduling fail, no matter how you spin it.

oshkosh was pretty good last year, i know that doesn't mean anything this year but SDSU has nothing to gain (except money) and everything to lose playing oshkosh. if the jacks lose this one, the season might be over.
I already purchased my season tickets. I don't see how this well increase the cost. ...
oops...was signed in as adminhare...this post is from JackJD.
That was my reaction when I saw posts with complaints about the cost of one's season tickets going up. Can those who claim the cost of my four season tickets will increase $20 each direct me to a statement by the athletic administration which backs that up? Are you suggesting I'm going to get a bill for the increase? Or, are people saying that the ticket prices were set in anticipation of having a sixth home game? In any event, I don't see the sky falling on this deal. I bought my season tickets without regard to whether there was a sixth game.
Added: I like the post with the reminder that some of the sentiment expressed in this thread is reminiscent of what some Nebraska fans (and coach) said when UNL scheduled the 'Rabbits. All of the Wisconsin D-3 schools play a pretty good brand of football. The Oshkosh squad will come in here trying to do what Lacrosse accomplished in recent memory and the challenge for us is to show there's a big difference between D-3 and FCS.
I already purchased my season tickets. I don't see how this well increase the cost. They gave me a price. They can't switch that.
It may change the value however
I would guess that having to pay for the new stadium this will be more likely to happen going forward.

If I remember correctly, there was a charge for the 6th game that was added late last year. I would be amazed if there is not an extra charge fro this game

We were billed for the Butler game after it was added, if you had already paid for your tickets. Teams do not want to come here and play, and if they do it will cost more than you might take in.
If i remember right, they called me last year after Butler was added and asked if it was ok to charge my card for the extra game. So yea, we paid for Butler last year
