drake does some strange things. they made a really bad move by naming keno davis as the new coach before dr. tom retires. i don't think you we see drake in post-season play for some time.

Probably won't be til late August. Porter always holds an opening for a BCS school scrambling to find a game.Originally posted by Fastbreak
To date I can tell you this is part of ISU's schedule:
vs. Cincy
vs. Cal-State Northridge
vs. Sacramento State
vs. Miami (ohio)
at. St. Johns
at. Western Michigan
I believe that leaves 2 games to fill.
ISU in years past has played non-d I teams, and I absolutely hate it. I was told that it costs 5K for the likes of the University of Indianapolis to come to Redbird vs. 40/50K for someone else. It's absurd that money is a factor in things like that. I would much rather see EIU or WIU than the likes of Indianapolis.Comment

But if a team invites a non-D-I, I as a fan, would prefer to see a top D-II such as Southern Indiana or SIU-E, and not some low level D-II, a D-III, or an NAIA team.
By the way, one more question....
Let's say September comes and ISU still has a need for one more game.....
Why not take the guarantee game (probably $50,000) at Vandy?
It would be a natural!!!
The other offers like Seton Hall, Georgetown, Kentucky, Louisviulle, K-State, and Temple are not bad either....
or take the $25,000 offer and play at Wisconsin-Milwaukee?
In fact I'd like to see Bradley take one of those offers to go on the road and play a Top 20 BCS team.Comment

About ten minutes after the ink was dry from the contract, you'd be starting a thread on how ISU whored themselves out to the BCS teams.Originally posted by tornado1996 & 2019Comment

What??????Originally posted by it's boogie time
Absolutely not...I have been very consistent in saying ALL the MVC teams need to shoot for the top level of competition at all times, even if it means giving a 2 for 1 or a road only to play a top BCS school.
I wouldn't want BU to go to Southern Miss without a home and home, BUT...
I was very positive in saying ISU's appearance at Cincy last year was outstanding even if they didn't get a return.
And I was ecstatic about BU playing Iowa State even though two of the games (out of three) are essentially home games for Iowa State.
Go back and read any post of mine on the subject of scheduling.
you'll see I have been 100% consistent in condemning the MVC getting cupcake opponents and non-D-I's, and 100% in favor of going out and getting the Gary Williams' of the BCS's to play us any time anywhere!!Comment

This upcoming season BU will have both DePaul and Iowa State.
In 2003-2004, BU had DePaul and UNLV on their schedule, but UNLV is really not from a BCS conference.
In 1999-2000 BU had Illinois and then Auburn and Villanova in tournaments, but not as scheduled games.
But you have to actually go all the way back to 1998-1999 when Bradley had Illinois, Michigan, and Penn State as scheduled opponents, to find a year that the Braves had MORE THAN ONE scheduled BCS opponent.
I applaud KK and JL for upgrading the schedule, and I don't want to go back to the years when Georgia State was a highlight in our nonconference season.Comment

As long as Tom Richardson is an Assistant Coach at Vandy, a game vs. ISU is very unlikely.Originally posted by tornadoComment
