Looks like a very good schedule except for the opener.

Why do you guys play an NAIA game?
Are you planning to fill week 2 to help with a 7th D-1 win?

What happened to the game @ Hawaii?

A few weeks ago it looked like you would be playing them.

I am not exactly sure why we are playing an NAIA school. I was hoping for another FCS school but not another BCS team like Hawaii. I think that EWU wanted to avoid playing two BCS teams in the same season. I think that the Hawaii game got pushed back to 2008 or even further. I think that the schedule is pretty decent except for the Montana Western game. Go Eagles!!!

We're trying to get a traincar-load on Amtrak across the Montana Hi-Line for October 13th. Would pull into Spokane about midnight on Friday, golf on Saturday, go to the game Saturday night, and get back on the train in Spokane about 2:00 Sunday morning. Probably won't draw a sober breath for about 48 hours!!

Montana Western?? :confused:

NAIA school in the Frontier Conference
The power in that conference is Carrol College. They won 4 consecutive National Titles. I think they lost in the semis this year.

There are 5 NAIA programs in Montana: Western in Dillon, Carrol in Helena, Rocky MT in Billings, MSU- Northern in Havre, and Montana Tech in Butte.
