3 New Home Games

[Bison03]

Assuming NA and Drake are cash games. What about UC Davis? Cash, or home and home?

All straight cash homie!!

My coworker was on that North Alabama team, he said he's less optimistic about the 2018 game...

Glad North Alabama is going to be considered DI for this game. They made the D2 national title game last year.

The weather was terrible that day. I was also a little bummed about the semi the night before. It's a fun place to go see a game, first one I've missed since it's been here.

Btw, that 2019 home game against UC Davis gives the Bison 6 home games that year not including the Butler game at Target Field.


It also completes the 2019 schedule with 12 games:

8/31 vs Butler (at Target Field)
9/7 vs UND
9/14 at Delaware
9/21 vs UC Davis
10/5 at Illinois St
10/12 vs UNI
10/19 vs Missouri St
10/26 at SDSU
11/2 at YSU
11/9 vs WIU
11/16 vs USD
11/23 at SIU

Agreed. D2 title teams would probably be really tough games...similar to NDSU vs the FBS field.

can we pay an FBS team to host us?

[Bison Loaf]

It seems pretty obvious that the old scheduling template is being "tweaked" into a new long-term workable format around the new realities of losing "regional" FBS opponents (i.e. the Big 10).

So, look (still) for an FBS game of some unknown caliber in 2018, and then the next possible home and home with a top (well.....maybe solid, if not top) FCS team to be 2020 (at the Dome) and 2021 (return game away) and every two years thereafter.

Next scheduled "big-time" FBS program will likely be for 2026. Larson will likely have to schedule games out farther to make it work as intended.

Surprised no return trip to Davis. Must have gotten a good deal.
