My wife and I have always wanted to live in Montana, and our business has really boomed this year, so we are hoping to be looking into places to move in Montana. I'm trying to convince her that we need to be looking around Bozeman the last weekend in August so I can take my son to the game. Would be a fun time!

Pretty much exactly what was put together/estimated based on other team's schedules.

Yeah, it works pretty well for us. All DI, non-conferences are two full-scholarship FCS and a P5 FBS team...all of which fall into the category of "beatable". The final Sagarin rankings for last season had us as the #82 team in all of DI, Illinois State was #106, and U of Illinois was #126. If we start the season with two wins then come home and play Montana...we could have a pretty huge crowd there.

Hosting Indiana State the weekend before Thanksgiving isn't going to help our average though.

I do plan on being there (as well as all the home games, and likely the game at Illinois State). I'll probably drive down that morning though, but I'm sure we'll be able to meet up at some point this season.

Yeah I will probably come over Saturday morning as it is a pretty easy trip boring but easy. There campus is really easy to find everything on I had never been on there campus until I went there to watch the girls play earlier this season and I found it super easy and I suck with directions. I'm not really a drinker anyways. Hopefully I can make the ISU trip I was going to last year and some stuff came up.

Drake is in the Pioneer League for Football. Non scholarship league. Dayton that we played three years ago in the playoffs is in the Pioneer League. If you want a great road trip start planning for the Oklahoma State game in 2020. I hadn't been to still water in 30 years until a year ago. Western alum is Dir of Print Services at OU. I flew into OKC and met up with him and his wife on Friday night. Less than an hour drive to Stillwater. Texas A&M always were the nicest fans when I visited there but the Cowboy fans could give them a run for their money. Very nice fans and it's interesting to see the facilities that Boone Pickens $$$ have funded.
