Maybe they need a payday game. Who knows. Hopefully EWU has at least tried that route if they really don't have other options. I'd way rather see us play another FCS team than a drop down or top tier FBS.

With the Lindenwood (Mo) game ( Div II MIAA) on Sept. 7 and the Idaho non-conference set at Idaho on the 21st of Sept. that should round out our schedule.

Gonna stay positive on this schedule. This looks like a schedule that we can make the playoffs on. A good chance we win all 5 home games. OK that's the positive...
Had to look up what a Lindenwood was. They may be dangerous cause they were 0-5 at home but were 4-2 on the road. So we go to Idaho, is that a home and away somehow? Trying to figure out which home games to attend...all 5 of them. Trying to put into order of importance...tuff one. Maybe I'll go to all the away games instead.

Eason will light it up for the huskies. He's had two years to sit and grow and a year under Peterson isn't going to make him worse. His Georgia teammates loved him by all accounts in the local media.
Nothing very exciting about the 2019 schedule. If we are going to bring in a div II school why not one from the NW. When it gets to seeding strength of schedule might hurt us so will have to be dominate in every game.
The 2020 schedule is good to great. Lots to look forward to there.
The best part of both years is it is OVER!!! no need to nag about the schedule.
Now if we could get a military academy for future years that would be AWESOME.

Agree this looks like a playoff type schedule. Weber and UC Davis get a pass on Eastern or vice versa however you see it. Idaho will be better than this year probably, but will wait to see some early results on the field.
7 road games and only 3 conference home games. That’s another tough schedule.
I’m not sure why anyone would doubt the strength of this schedule. This is a pretty high degree of difficulty. 11 d1 games including a Husky team that’ll probably be a top 10 Power 5 school and a road game at a certain top 25 FCS team in Jacksonville State. It isn’t out of the question that UND is also ranked, which equates to a pretty tough out of conference slate.
It really sucks to have both our rivalry games in Idaho and Montana on the road.

The UND game is considered a conference game..
I dislike the 2019 schedule, but its nice to see we have UM, MSU, IDAHO, WEBER, NAU and W ILL all coming to Cheney in 2020
I would not call Linderwood a "quality" opponent.LDopaPDX said:
UW yes
I doubt Idaho will amount to much
Sac State- Troy Taylor will be an asset but not this year
No Col is not a powerhouse
U of M - on reputation only, but the committee may see differently if they do not perform
The month of November is when you want to impress the committee and NAU, Id St, Cal Poly, and PSU will not help much.
Pretty soft schedule so the Eagles will need to impress based on THEIR performance.
You can’t control the conference slate, and you can’t really predict how teams will be. Who would’ve thought UC Davis was going to be the second best team in the Big Sky?
Our non-con games are the defending Pac-12 champ, a Jacksonville State team that is always ranked in the FCS top 25 and usually in the top 10, North Dakota and /or Idaho in quasi-Big Sky games (both were in the top 25 at times this year), and a middling d2.
That’s three good opponents out of four, including one that is a defending Power 5 champ; all three of the quality opponents are on the road. You’d never find a power program anywhere that would schedule that level of difficulty in the FBS. It would only happen in the FCS on the rarest of occasions.
This will be one of the ten toughest non-con schedules in the FCS next year, you can bet on it.

Is this the prediction thread?
This does look like a weak conference slate. It would surprise me if any of these teams besides the Griz were better than .500 at season end. Not a degreed schedulologist like y'all though.
Like driving on the freeway at high speed, playing UW week one helps with the tough road game at Jax St week two and should slow that game down for everyone. Eag's get through that 1-1 and the rest could be downhill.
The only certain thing about the rest of the schedule is Eastern will have a VERY large bullseye on their backs. Coach Best's new reputation for running up the score has left no doubt, if you don't want to be embarrassed by Eastern, you better bring your A game. Not a condemnation, Eag's were just that much better than those teams as making the Natty with so many second team players demonstrated. Who will step into the leadership void with so many seniors graduating?

If say...Montana had our schedule this is what I MIGHT be saying; 1) They don't play the top four teams in the conference all who went to the playoffs. 2) They play some D2 team from tim-buck-too who was 0-5 at home last year. 3) They play 5 of the bottom six teams in the conference. 4) Yeah they play JSU Gamecocks (just like to say Gamecocks) who made the playoffs but JSU lost to Maine in the 1st rd 27-55 and EWU beat Maine 50-19. 5) Yeah and they play a money bag game but everyone does. 6) How'd they get such an easy schedule.. someone always favors Montana so they can make the playoffs cause they bring the NCAA tons of money and they have the biggest, nicest and loudest stadium in the nation.

See, now a proper Rock reference in the thread lends a lot of credibility to the post.
