ISU has just "officially" released the schedule for this season:

By the numbers:
The nine game road trip marks the longest stretch of road games since Seton has been the head coach. The previous mark under him was seven straight, in fact the first seven games of his coaching career was played away from Pocatello in November 2008. That was the schedule he inherited from Jon Newlee.
The nine straight road games is tied for the second longest stretch in program history. The first nine games in program history were played on the road back in January 1975.
The longest road trip (and I'm pretty sure this record will never be broken) was 17 straight games away from Pocatello to start the season in 1980!! The Bengals were away from home from November 23, 1980 through January 19, 1981. Incredibly they went 10-7 in that stretch.
The game at Illinois-Chicago will mark the first time under Seton, ISU has played a game in the U.S. East of the Mississippi river. (Two years ago they played two games in Cancun, Mexico as part of a Thanksgiving holiday tournament. Cancun is located approximately south of the state of Alabama.)
