I know the mantra of the team, coaches, and our board. 1-0 every week. I know. But darn it, its the stinking off season, I'm kinda tired of reading about recruits and jus talking to about the Nebraska game. What games do we NEED to win, which ones do you think we'll win, and what do you guess our record is at the end of the year? YES, I know its still spring ball, and you can wait till after thats over to judge how we are going to be. But lets get some gab going on this board about next year and our opponents, other than the FBS ones. Because, face it, Nebraska is not going to be the only game we have thats crucially important.
Heres what I think we need to do next year to make the playoffs. Don't get me wrong, I believe we can win every game, but with this schedule, I think any team in the land would struggle to go undefeated with this one boys. So, with that in mind, and the schedule as far as I know:
@Delaware W/L
Ill. St W
@Nebraska L
@UNI L
Western Ill. W
@SIU W
YSU W
@Ind St. W
MSU W
@NDSU W
This is what I think the team this year is capable of. I don't have any idea how the UD game is going to turn out but I would lean towards a loss, with it being the first game (as of now), the extreme distance, and their homefield will be rocking for this one. I definately believe we have the talent to beat them down, but its going to be as tough as the game that shall not be mentioned from the playoffs last year.
Ill St will be a tough as nails opponent this year I believe, but I know we pull this out at home for the opener. We better have a big ole showing from the fans at this one.
I know we will put on a great showing at Nebraska, but with it only being TOB's second year, and losing a lot of key guys from the line, I don't think we quite pull it off. We will definately open some eyes though for sure!
@UNI I just always have a bad feeling about at their place. We always play bad there, and after a tough three game stretch ending with Nebraska, I think we will also be more banged up than they will be, with them only having to face Iowa St. for their FBS game. I think we have a down game here and don't pull it off.
WIU, our easy game, if there is such a think in the MVFC this year. We should be able to pound them unless they somehow pull off a remarkable regrouping effort from last year under a new coach.
@SIU, this is the year we take down the hound doggies, with them coming off a tough stretch ending with UNI before us. We were so close the last time we played there, and I think this year we will be by far the most battle hardend team in the MVFC by this time, and really punch them in the mouth. Big W here.
YSU at home, man we need this win. They will be a good team this year I think, and I mean good, good enough to challenge for the top 3 spots. But we are animals at home, and should have a rocking crowd at home for this one. We pull this one off in a tough game.
@ Ind. St, one of the easiest places to play of late, but I think this years team will be much more of a challenge, and more of a trap than every before, but with our staff I doubt we let them trip us up. Easy W relatively speaking.
MSU at home. This will be yet another improved team in the MVFC, but yet again, its OUR HOUSE, and we rarely lose at our house. Especially when we need to win. Win this one, we are in the playoffs with how I think we do in the games prior to this one.
@NDSU I refuse to believe they will beat us, ever, no matter how good they are because, darnit, they are our rivals, and you DO NOT lose to your rivals. 4 in a row babay! The best and tastiest W of the year
If we finish with this record, we should be in discussion for a seed, especially if our attendance is good. Boom goes the dynamite.
And that is how I feel we do this year, based off of our current schedule. Agree or not, if you want to tear it apart, show your reasons. Lets get some discussion on here!
GO JACKS.

Not with TOB with a year under his belt to open up the offense and the Minnetour back
