Re: 2009-10 Schedule
The Paradise Jam, I believe, is one of those tourneys where you can play 3 games but it will only count for two on your non-conference schedule (something about these tournies played outside of the continental US). With Tennessee, Boston College, Purdue, UNI, DePaul, Saint Joes and E. Carolina, we'll be lucky to go 1-2 in this thing.
So there is 2 games that count toward the what, 13 non-conference games you get?
Cal-Poly at Frost is another.
I'm sure at Minnesota is another.
So that leaves 9 non-conference games left to schedule?
Last years non-conference road games were VCU, Drake, Denver, ISU and UNI. I could see everyone being a home-and-home save for VCU, ISU and UNI. We also played at home against Upper Iowa, Mayville St, Cal-Bakersfield and San Jose St. We're not going to Mayville or Upper Iowa and I hope we're not going to Bakerfield or San Jose, unless we schedule them both on the same trip.
If Drake and Denver come to Frost and we do make the two game trip to Cal, that still leaves 5 games. I would schedule a non- D1 local school again for a tune up, a power D1 team from Big 10, Big 12 or Missouri Valley and then the last three against local like opponents like Wyoming, Montana, Mont St, Utah Valley, Chicago St, N Dakota, Wisc-Milwaukee, etc....
