Who the cr@p schedules like this?!?

[superhornet]

I just saw Western Oregon's schedule. It's one of the craziest things I've ever seen. WOU has a VERY small conference, so they double up their conference games instead of scheduling a ton of OOC games. So Simon Fraser, Humboldt, Central Washington, and Dixie State (how the cr@p did THEY get in there?) are all home-and-homes.

WOU is doing very well. Outside of the game with us and a close 14-7 loss to Humboldt, they've won everything else. In fact, their 24-23 squeaker over Southern Oregon is the only close win they have. Everything else is blowouts. Simon Fraser is still getting used to NCAA ball, I guess.

WOU completes a rare three-game road swing this Saturday at Qwest Field (home of the Seahawks) in a neutral-site game vs CWU.

Western could be closer to a FCS jump than we thought....

The Great Northwest or what ever that D2 league is called plays each team home and away because there are not enough D2 teams available anymore. Actually when Poly and davis were having the scheduling problems in the GWFC they might have gone to home and home, it would have been interesting. WOU, Humboldt and Central Washington are good and could win some games in the BSC, they are miles ahead of the Western State team that Montana played.

The GNWC operates with fewer than the allotted number of scholarships. DII football is almost dead on the west coast other than the three (four?) schools that hang on. With no place to play where does the middle level talent go? We got Schrader when DII Western Washington folded.

If the home-and-home thing gets old, would WOU save $$ by jumping? That's as opposed to scheduling Grand Valley and everyone else back East.

I don't think the home on home deal is that bad, it would be kind of cool to get another shot at Montana this season in Sacramento! I think the increase in scholarships to go FCS would make it pretty expensive. If any did move up Central Washington should be at the front of the line, they always give the BSC teams all they can handle. I don't think that the D2s need to go to the East for games, their seems to be a lot of D2s still alive in the Rocky Mountain region.
