Note that one game on next year's schedule is yet to officially be announced.

Good to see we open with two winnable home games.

Good to see 12 games with 6 at home. Can we please make sure that the schedule is now updated on the ISU athletics website. :clap: :clap:

When was the last time we had 6 home games? I agree, Its definitely awesome to get 6 Home games!!

 

[spudbowl]

when is the last time that we did not play either Montana or Montana State?

I guess it is tough to schedule non-conference games these days since most teams in the West are either now in the Big Sky (Cal Poly, Davis, SUU) or DI teams that won't come to Pocatello. I wonder how much good it does for a Big Sky team to play a much smaller opponent like Dixie State or Western State?

 

[up for the challenge]

We need to start winning some games so it best to play some D2 teams.

I see that we only play one money game for this season. My concern is that as outrageously expensive as football is, shouldn't we play a couple of them every year? I think our FB budget is a few million every year, and we don't get much in the way of state support or in fan support -- at least not yet. Also, we'd better be able to beat Dixie and Western States Insurance or else we're in for a long season!!

There is one more road game to be announced for this season and best guess is that it will be a money game. Probably the weekend of Aug. 31.

Two $$$, two wins....what more can you ask for?

intrigue... a reason to watch.... doubt about a W or an L.

Of course, Z put the doubt back into D2 games.

I think FCS games at our level are very expensive -- you either have to pay the school to come play at your place (ISU doesn't have the resources to do that), or you have to reach a home-and-home agreement -- which means you are stuck paying the travel expenses for one of those road games. Obviously, when you play up, the host school pays your costs. It was a lot easier when we had Southern Utah as a neighboring, non-conference FCS school -- that was just a bus ride. But what FCS school are you going to play now that doesn't require an expensive road trip to reach?
