2010 Schedule

Re: 2010 Schedule

If it is the person by the same name that posts on d2football.com board then he is pretty knowledgeable of Upper Iowa sports. I think he is seriously asking the question. I too hope we don't schedule any D2 school and are able to get a FCS school scheduled instead.

Yes I am, thanks. I wouldn't be asking if I didn't have good info and was coming here to see if anyone here knew anything.

As for the naysayers, I completely appreciate you guys not wanting this game. I feel the same way other than for the pay check. UIU needs to be playing a full D2 only schedule. Also, as a UNI fan I like to hear that you guys are concerned about needing a full 12 game FCS schedule to help your SOS. That means that you foresee some "L" in your future.

Were any of you guys around Jackrabbit football back when Dave Tripplett coached USD? I've been following Jackrabbit football since back then so that might help you with my level of football background instead of just my post numbers.

Re: 2010 Schedule

Someone posted the list of teams looking for games, I don't want to track it down right now. From what I recall most wanted a home date. The only way to get them into CAS is with $$$. We need to do that, IMHO. If we can't get them in CAS, then we need to take some $$$ and figure out a deal to get them back in CAS. Obviously, our athletic dept is well aware of these difficulties.

It absolutely makes sense to get UND and USD on our schedule at home. We all know better than to expect them not to want a return game, so you have to consider that.

I know I don't want to see any program not at the DI level at CAS ever again.

Re: 2010 Schedule

Just an FYI--UND is currently at 10 games for 2010, and has open dates on October 16 and November 20.

There you have it. We have an open date on November 20th, right?

If we see a D2 team or lower on our schedule instead of UND, USD, or another FCS team, I would be an upset season ticket holder. Bringing in a lower level team would not only water down our home schedule (it's already less appealing this year), but also limit our chances at getting to seven FCS/FBS wins and a playoff spot.

How many home games do the Sioux have inked so far??
If they only have 4 like SDSU does...they may not agree to another away game in Brookings. Let's just think about that before we go off thinking that UND's Nov. 20th opening would fit perfect. It's a two way street.
I'm hoping this game can be scheduled with UND, especially before any kind of D2 or lower-level game.

Go Jacks!!

Re: 2010 Schedule

I think it would be great to slot UND into that November 20th date. Although if want a tougher game there is always USF.

Yes-I was around when D Triplett coached at USD. How bout 1985 when USD was ranked #1 in the country and the Rabbits got them on Hobo Day. I believe over 16,000 was in attendance for that game. That was a great day for SDSU and all associated with Jackrabbit athletics.

I was there, as well - if memory serves, it was a beautiful day. (Although, I did have a little alcohol on the brain - happened a lot when we played the U...the D2 school)

Fast forward 22 years & I'm on the sidelines in attendance #2 with my son - watching the co-eds act like I did 22 years earlier (another #1 ranked team - humbled by the Jacks). Buck the Fison - didn't have to explain that one to my boy!!!

Re: 2010 Schedule

USD has already announced a full 11 game season for 2010. So the Jacks will not be playing them in 2010.

South Dakota 2010 Football Schedule
Sep. 4: @ Central Florida
Sept. 11: @ Minnesota
Sept. 18: Northwestern Oklahoma State
Sept. 25: @ North Dakota State
Oct. 2: North Dakota (Dakota Days)
Oct. 9: @ UC Davis
Oct. 16: Northern Iowa
Oct. 23: @ Southern Utah
Oct. 30: Northern Colorado
Nov. 6: Cal Poly
Nov. 13: @ Lamar

That is actually a nice schedule for them!

According to this link these are the FCS teams that have open dates on 9/4. (I've bolded the ones that I think would be a good fit)

Albany
C. Connecticut St
Charleston Southern
Eastern Kentucky
Lafayette College (PA)
Liberty University
University of Maine
McNeese St
Montana St
North Carolina Central
Norfolk St
Northwestern St
Portland St
Stephen F Austin
Virginia Union

These are just the schools that have reported open dates and I'm sure there are other schools as well since SDSU didn't even show up on this list.

Coach Stig just stated in an interview how important it is to get another DI team so I doubt that there is much truth to the Upper Iowa rumor. Maybe it was discussed and could be in place for a plan B incase we don't find another game but it would be a last resort.

Re: 2010 Schedule

SDSU not listed as having an open date on 11/20.

Re: 2010 Schedule

From a weather perspective we are more likely to get someone here in September versus November.

Re: 2010 Schedule

I am all for paybacks to McNeese State. Bring back the Beauxs!!!

Re: 2010 Schedule

Too bad neither of the Montana schools travel.
