Future Football Schedules

So it looks like the projected schedule is correct: https://goleathernecks.com/news/2023/3/ ... edule.aspx
And they've announced the events being held at the various home games.

9/9 - vs Illinois State (Mega Reunion; Senior Day) - that'll be nice having a home game that early in the season...especially against an opponent that should have a pretty decent crowd.
9/16 - vs Lindenwood (Family Day BBQ Competition) - if we're a bit better than last year, this game should be winnable. Lindenwood was 7-3 last year, but played a 3 non-DI teams and a couple of pretty bad teams (EIU, Murray State) so their SoS was 100th out of 130 FCS teams last year.
10/14 - vs Missouri State (Homecoming) - could be competitive for us...good crowd, MSU was down last year (5-6) and Petrino is now the OC at Texas A&M
10/28 - vs Southern Illinois (Protect & Serve Recognition Day)
We also, unfortunately, have a home game on the last weekend (11/18 vs South Dakota), which will likely draw about 200 people.

I removed the future conference games from the future schedules post at the beginning of this thread. Left the currently scheduled OVC games, although it'll be interesting to see how those work out since the majority of our FCS OOC games over the next few years are against OVC teams. So those will become conference games. I wonder if they'll leave them scheduled as-is so there's less disruption to other teams schedules too, then work in the remaining teams around those.
