Future Football Schedules

WIU11DC · Wed May 10, 2017 5:58 pm

I was going through the posts and did not see any FBS team for 2018. Did I miss the posting or have we not filled that slot for next season? I am curious because I live in DC and I think I am going to try and get to every FBS game for the foreseeable future. Also, will ticket information from WIU be posted on here or on the athletic website for the game at Coastal Carolina?

As far as I know we're still on the schedule with Illinois for 2018. Grandfathered in from before the B1G FCS ban.

Edit - yea, here's a link to U of I's future schedules page: http://fightingillini.com/sports/2015/6 ... dules.aspx
It has us listed for 9/8/2018 at Champaign. Also, according to their other future schedules, it appears that (barring a rescinding of the Big 10's ban on playing FCS teams) we are the last FCS team to play the Illini for the forseeable future.

Thanks! I am really loving these BIG12 games, I have never been out West so it now gives me a reason to go!

And just FYI, when it gets closer to the start of the season, I'll post info about the games, including where to get tickets if I can find that info.

As I'm sure many of you have seen by now, we have added a game at Oklahoma State on September 19, 2020.
Leatherneck Football to Play at Oklahoma State in 2020

For reference, that covers us for FBS games through 2022.

EDIT - Wait just a second, we had Montana on the schedule for 8/31/19 and now there's North Alabama on 8/29/19? I'm going to have to look into this in get back to y'all.

Just added a couple of full-scholarship FCS teams as H&H opponents down the road.

North Alabama - August 29, 2019 (at Florence) and September 3, 2020 (at Macomb)
Southern Utah - September 17, 2022 (at Macomb) and September 9, 2023 (at Cedar City)

Couple of great OOC additions. I've got some friends who went to UNA and were in their marching band maybe 15 or so years ago, so I might have to see about heading down for that one.

The Montana Athletics website is showing that Montana will be playing at South Dakota on August 31, 2019.

Interesting!

And USD's site is showing Montana on the same date. So...idk. I haven't heard anything from the athletics department about this, but I'll let you know if I do.

It will be interesting to hear why the Montana games are no longer on the schedule.

One guy at the Gym today was offering up the theory that Montana may be backing-away from those games because they feel that Western will either be closed or no longer playing FCS football.

Sad to lose those games to Bob Nielson and USD.
