Who's playing an FBS team this year?

[CaBisonFan]

I'm just curious. There's no hidden agenda or comparison game intended.

NDSU is playing Wyoming this year, and Iowa State in 2009, pretty sure.

And if you feel like it, how about the last two or three years?

We've played Central Michigan, Ball State, & Minnesota twice since 2006.

Anyone going into one of the really big powerhouse arenas?

[JayJ79]

Northern Iowa:

this fall (2008), the Panthers play at BYU
in 2009, they're scheduled to play at Iowa
and Iowa State is on the tentative agenda for both 2010 and 2011.

Not exactly big powerhouses, but the in-state games are fun.

the last two years, UNI played at Iowa State, and at Iowa in '05

[GoAgs72]

UC Davis is playing San Jose State in 2008 and Fresno State in 2009. A win would be nice against either one but it would not have the same ambiance as our win against Stanford.

[T-Dog]

I think App is playing LSU. FCS vs FBS Champs. Kind of a big deal.

I also slightly remember that App played Michigan last year. Again, kind of a big deal.

App played NC State in 2006, losing 23-10 as Jerry Moore packed it in early to save the team for James Madison the next week.

App played LSU in 2005, losing 24-0 after it being 14-0 until 5 minutes left in the game. Dropped TD and FG off the upright would have made it more interesting. We also played Kansas that year. Lost 36-8 in a laugher.

Off the top of my head for this year

Furman vs Clemson
McNeese vs North Carolina
Florida State vs UT-Nooga
Florida State vs El Citadel

[mizzoufan1]

SEMO is playing Missouri this year.

[uofmman1122]

I'd like to see us get back at playing Idaho every year. I dunno what happened to that rivalry, but I assume it has something to do with Idaho getting spanked the last few times.

I doubt the Griz are planning on playing an FBS team anytime soon, but we played Iowa in 2006, Oregon in 2005, Idaho in 2003 and 2002, and then Hawaii and Idaho in 2001.

[CrazyCat]

This year: Kansas State, Minnesota
Last year: Texas A&M
2006: Colorado
2005: Oklahoma State

2009: the winner is........ Michigan State

[poly51]

Cal Poly is playing:

San Diego State August 30th at Qualcom Stadium
Wisconsin on November 22 in Madison. Number 12 projected preseason ranking.

[TXST_CAT]

TXST takes on SMU and June Jones's Run N Shoot Offense.

[soccerguy315]

William and Mary has NC State this year... Virginia in 2009 I think, and games scheduled for a few more years after that.

last 3 years, starting with most recent: Virginia Tech, Maryland, UNC

[UMass922]

I believe UMass has Texas Tech on tap this year.

[BearsCountry]

Missouri State has Oklahoma State this year.

In 2009 we play Arkansas and 2010 we go to Kansas State.

[SiouxFallsJack]

SDSU plays Iowa State on August 28th.

[McNeese_beat]

McNeese at North Carolina Aug. 30.

also, McNeese at Missouri, Sept. 11, 2010

[CaBisonFan]

Northern Iowa:

this fall (2008), the Panthers play at BYU
in 2009, they're scheduled to play at Iowa
and Iowa State is on the tentative agenda for both 2010 and 2011.

Not exactly big powerhouses, but the in-state games are fun.

the last two years, UNI played at Iowa State, and at Iowa in '05

Didn't UNI beat both ISU & Iowa in the past couple of years? I thought that was amazing.

[CaBisonFan]

UC Davis is playing San Jose State in 2008 and Fresno State in 2009. A win would be nice against either one but it would not have the same ambiance as our win against Stanford.

Good luck to you and the entire university. I'm really, really going to miss playing UC Davis each year. You have an outstanding program, and the stadium should be special.

Question: What's the talk about the potential for moving up to the FBS in Davis?

[CaBisonFan]

I think App is playing LSU. FCS vs FBS Champs. Kind of a big deal.

I also slightly remember that App played Michigan last year. Again, kind of a big deal.

Off the top of my head for this year

Furman vs Clemson
McNeese vs North Carolina
Florida State vs UT-Nooga
Florida State vs El Citadel

For the record, I never thought of the Michigan game as a huge upset. What I saw was two very evenly-matched teams -- different kind of personnnel & schemes -- but Michigan had 'nothing' on you guys in terms of talent on the field. The media made a big deal of it, and it was. But a major, major upset? nadda

I think that LSU will have all it can handle, especially considering that they have some holes to fill. Still, they seem to be on a roll right now with recruiting in that region. I think that if I were them, I'd be more than a little afraid of this game. It almost makes you wonder what their AD is thinking about. Is there some type of connection between the coach & someone at LSU?

I'll be watching. Best of luck.

I'm not saying that we'd win, but someday I'd like to see App. State & North Dakota State play. A game next year would be really fun to watch. We lost our 'wizard' at quarterback, so that's a bit of a question mark. We have had a QB in the waiting, with great credentials, and a rocket for an arm, so we'll see. You just never know until a new QB gets into pressure situations. Our defense, offensive line, and running back situation looks to be as good as it's been, or better on paper. The Gateway is going to be a major challenge.

I have great respect for your program.

[CaBisonFan]

SEMO is playing Missouri this year.

Wow!

That should be interesting. Mizzou had a great team. Not sure what they're returning though.

[CaBisonFan]

This year: Kansas State, Minnesota
Last year: Texas A&M
2006: Colorado
2005: Oklahoma State

2009: the winner is........ Michigan State


It would be really fun to see you guys go in and put it to Minnesota. Even though we dismantled them statistically for two years in a row, they don't respect us. Some do, but most think that they're superior to the entire state of North Dakota, and many of them call the FCS a DII division. There's a lot of disrespect, and a superiority complex regarding the Big Ten.

Minnesota had an exceptional recruiting year, but really, their veteran players aren't that impressive. The coach does some really strange things. But in fairness, he took over when the cupboard was nearly empty. The baggie is kind of fun to play in. Hope you can bring a big crowd there. You might outnumber the Gophers fans. We brought 30,000 last year, we're only about 3 hours away, and have a ton of alumni in the Twin Cities.

Good luck!

[CaBisonFan]

Cal Poly is playing:

San Diego State August 30th at Qualcom Stadium
Wisconsin on November 22 in Madison. Number 12 projected preseason ranking.


Geez -- I live just an hour north of Qualcomm. I should come down to that game.

Hey -- no disrespect intended -- and no intention to rub salt, but you guys had a hell of a team last year. We were 'damn' lucky to win that game. I couldn't believe the athleticism.

I'm predicting a Great West championship and a good chance to do some damage in the playoffs for Cal Poly. UND might be your biggest challenge, even though I'm far from being a fan. In North Dakota you're typically one or the other, and never the twain shall meet. It's an old bitter rivalry that went away because we moved up before them. It's gone far beyond bitter. I hope that you can show them a little bit of Great West hospitality. xcoolx

Good luck!

[CaBisonFan]

TXST takes on SMU and June Jones's Run N Shoot Offense.

Hey -- that should be a very interesting game. SMU has been down lately -- right? Not sure.

Jones will obviously bring a new attitude there, and that offense is from another planet.

How are your defensive backs, and do you have depth there? How about a pass rush?

Either way, I hope that you can spank them. Good luck!

[CaBisonFan]

William and Mary has NC State this year... Virginia in 2009 I think, and games scheduled for a few more years after that.

last 3 years, starting with most recent: Virginia Tech, Maryland, UNC

OMG -- you guys have really gone into the lion's den several times. Has it been really tough? Those are some powerhouse road games in hostile environments. NC State has been getting better -- right? Not sure.

My hat goes off to you & your team. Best of luck!

[CaBisonFan]

I believe UMass has Texas Tech on tap this year.


Hey -- good luck down there. Should should be a big challenge. Not sure what they have coming back though. They've been making some noise in Texas lately.

Of course, your team has been making some noise too. Best of luck!

[CaBisonFan]

I believe UMass has Texas Tech on tap this year.

I'm a high school band director.

What's the Sudler trophy? I should probably know -- my apologies.

Do you have any film on UTube of the band, or the team?

[CaBisonFan]

Missouri State has Oklahoma State this year.

In 2009 we play Arkansas and 2010 we go to Kansas State.


Whoa -- now that's going to be a challenge. Not sure about OSU, but Arkansas? And KSU has been looking better again.

Best of luck in 2008!

[CaBisonFan]

SDSU plays Iowa State on August 28th.


Hey -- good luck to our transition partner down in Iowa. I hope that you can kick them.

We'll see you in Fargo in November. It should be another thriller. I like our rivalry. It's intense, but not bitter. Let's try to keep it that way. It's the right kind of rivalry between two outstanding schools, and programs.

[CaBisonFan]

McNeese at North Carolina Aug. 30.

also, McNeese at Missouri, Sept. 11, 2010

I hope that you can go in and stuff UNC. Best of luck!

[JayJ79]

Didn't UNI beat both ISU & Iowa in the past couple of years? I thought that was amazing.

No, UNI didn't quite beat Iowa when they played them in 2005, though it was a competitive game. But they did beat Iowa State this past year, and Iowa State went on to beat Iowa. Not quite the same as UNI beating the Hawks, but it was still nice.

[Jaguar79]

Southern plays at University of Houston in Game One this year (August date I believe).

Southern has also signed to play University of Louisiana- Lafayette next year in their first game.

[Sycamore51]

Indiana State plays Eastern Michigan and Northern Illinois this year. Not powerhouses I know, but then again neither are we. We did beat EMU last time we played them though.

[jaxstatealum]

Jax State @ Georgia Tech xeyebrowx does Tech count xlolx

[andy7171]

Towson plays Navy to start the season this year.

...and we have Northwestern, Indiana and Maryland lined up for the upcoming years.

[brad_gsu2011]

Georgia Southern at Georgia

should be a pretty good game.



also there is talk about Georgia Tech
in the future.

[Umass74]

I'm a high school band director.

[CSUBUCDAD]

The Bucs start off the season traveling to Miami Hurricanes, then after we play Wofford at home, we travel to Miami of Ohio for our second FBS opponent of the year. 2009 has the Florida Gators on tape.

[AppStFan76]

App also plays Geogia in 09', Florida in 10', Va Tech in 11', and Geaogia again in 13'

[Cobblestone]

URI plays at Boston College this year. Last year we played at Army.

In future years we have Buffalo, UCONN and Maryland. I'm not 100% sure on the order of those games or what year but I do know we have contracts signed to play them.

[TTUEagles]

Tennessee Tech is at Louisville and at Western Michigan this year, at Georgia next year...

[Jiggs]

Samford at Ole Miss, 9/13/08

[Demon Fan]

Northwestern State is playing only one money game this year (thank goodness) against Baylor. While we played Ole Miss close last year, Texas Tech was an embarassment; even with Tech's propensity for running up the score.

[RazorEdge19]

Wofford has South Carolina and the Ol' Ball Coach on the schedule this year.

[Bulldog67]

The Citadel has the following:

2008 Clemson & Florida
2009 North Carolina & South Carolina
2010 Arizona

Last year we were tied at half with Wisconsin 21-21, before losing 45-31.
The Arizona game in 2010 will give us a game against every BCS Conference, beginning with Ole Miss & Florida State in 2005.

The Citadel has the following:

2008 Clemson & Florida
2009 North Carolina & South Carolina
2010 Arizona

Last year we were tied at half with Wisconsin 21-21, before losing 45-31.
The Arizona game in 2010 will give us a game against every BCS Conference, beginning with Ole Miss & Florida State in 2005.

We are bookending the season with clempsen and Florida, too. We play cu the second game of the season, and Florida the last game of the season. If we are fortunate enough to be heading into the playoffs at the end of the season, we might be one of the first FCS teams ever to play a FBS team with an eye to getting our second string in the game ASAP!

[rcny46]

UNH has: Army in `08
Pitt in `09 and
BC in `10

[EKU05]

EKU opens the season on a Thursday night at Cincinnati.

Next season we are playing Indiana for sure, and it sounds like we'll also take on Kentucky for the second time in three years. I've heard a game with Louisville could be in the works for 2010, and I'd say a game against former EKU player and HC Danny Hope and the Purdue Boilermakers is not too far down the road either.

[Seawolf97]

Not confirmed but Stonybrook at Rutgers in 2009. Confirmed Stonybrook at Army 2011. 2010 is a question mark for now.

[Mouse]

Delaware will play Maryland on 8/30. The Hens are 5-3-1 all time against the Terps, but our last win was 103 years agoxchinscratchx

[windwalker]

Coastal plays Penn State in '08

In '09 We have Kent State to open, then Clemson on Halloween night.
Coach joked.... Clemson should wear all orange, and we will wear all black.
After all, it will be Halloween!!!

[Tilldog40]

NU plays Ball st. and Syracuse this year. Playing BC and Uconn in the next couple of years to.

[dakotadan]

It sounds like North Dakota's first FBS game will likely be Idaho in '10 and possibly also in '11.

Our new AD at UND is from NMSU so I wouldn't be surprised to see us playing them in the next couple of years too.

Wofford has South Carolina and the Ol' Ball Coach on the schedule this year.

Wofford will play South Carolina again in 2012. The Terriers will play Georgia Tech in 2014. There may be a few others that hvae been announced, but I'm not sure.
