Evidently, we lost our opener at Northwestern last season.

EDIT: they fixed it and removed the part about 'not winning an opener since 2004'.

Why does the Orlando Sentinel care about MAC OOC schedules?

Just seems like an odd place for such an article.

The Orlando Sentinel cares because half the population there are retirees from the midwest.

Slow news week for sports in FL. Probably doing a daily story on each conference to fill in a couple weeks worth of empty space. Good on them for making the effort

They always do a pretty in depth ranking of every team in FBS in the offseason too.

Annnd, I believe Donald Celiscar was from the Orlando area.

Tons of folks down here are just plain old, emphasis on old, football fans. Sentinel football coverage is of biblical proportion at all levels!

NIU's schedule in 2018:

@ Iowa
vs. Utah
@ Florida State
@ BYU



Meanwhile, we still have 3 of our 4 opponents as 'TBD'.

Holy cow...that OOC is ridiculous

I want to know how they got a PAC 12 team to come to the cornfields. Is it a 2 for 1 or a 3 for 1?

But yeah, it is a pretty tough slate for them.

Kathy Beauregard would like that schedule. Has to be a good revenue stream there.
