Thanks for posting front five, hopefully this will be our onely FBS game in 2015, making the trip to Eugene should be fun!
I noticed that in 2014 and 2015 we are playing MSU as non-conference games, not sure if that is true or not (maybe I missed the announcement) but thought it was interesting.

Anybody know if 2014 is a 12 game year as well?

Yes...at least the NCAA is allowing it in 2013 and 2014 as far as I know, so I'm guessing we will add another game in 2014, I'd bet it will be another home game with a D2 or FBS on the road. Would be nice to add another FCS home game to give us 6 home games in 2014.

No kidding, but I wouldn't count on it. We should use some of the money from the two FBS games this year and next year to do just that, get another FCS team to come out here.
St. Mary's School for the Blind. Why sandwich a tough one in between road games at Washington and Montana? Especially, why schedule a road game? For no money? In a dome? With old school turf?
You come off winning a national championship and don't play at home until week #4 when you're already 0-3. Talk about a total buzzkill. We could've scheduled Whitworth at Roos on week #2 and probably drawn 10,000. Eastern has always drawn well in September (or at least better than any other time of the year), regardless of whether school is in session.

C'mon Kalm... defend the guy all you want, and I think Chaves has been a very good AD on the whole, but his football scheduling has been pretty bad. You can go back through all the ADs Easterns has since turning DI and you'd probab;y find the worst schedules can be attributed to Chaves. Again, very solid AD, but not a good scheduler.

It's not that I'm defending him or that I agree with the schedules under his reign. They have sucked for the most part. But I think there's more to it than you and I understand - especially the financials. I'm quite sure he knows what the ideal schedule is but he also has to balance a budget and lure the ideal teams into contracts.
So without all of the pertinent information it's purely speculation and I'm going to withhold judgement.
Who are the "ideal teams" that we're trying to "lure into contracts?" Lord knows we only take road games any more. The ideal schedule is one that sets you up for the postseason. The worst schedules are the ones that make it really hard to get into the playoffs... see last year.
Again, you look at the work product of our former ADs and they didn't do this kind of scheduling. It's not like we've never had problematic scheduling before, but we've never had problematic scheduling be such an annual event.

I get what you're saying, but I think the funds for the kind of improvements we're looking at aren't going to be accrued from scheduling profits. The only way this project gets off the ground is with donor support. Even if you schedule 3 BCS outfits each year, you're not making enough to pay down the financing on a $20m+ project.
The good news is that I've heard some people are already on board for the improvements. I doubt the amount of $$$ I can afford to kick in would make a helluva lot of difference, but I'd certainly throw down a pretty penny when the plate gets to me.

Agreed. Clearly there are different philosophies on scheduling. Some love profit. I prefer winning and playoffs. Sorry to be a dick about it, but this is something I wholeheartedly believe and simply can't / won't compromise on. I can also tell you there was a lot of grumbling last year when people felt (and I'm not talking about me) our schedule cost us a shot at making waves. If this year goes in the same direction, that chorus will get louder.

You're not being a dick. On the contrary I appreciate your thoughts. I just happen to think there's more to it than just a playoff friendly schedule, large scale capital improvements, or for that matter, funding for just the football program that have to be taken into consideration.
