CMU has 2/1 with Kansas and Oklahoma St, pushing west as well just not as far.

Its because both games are in the 2nd half of the season when its harder for them to get 1-1s.

Ohh makes sense. The MAC will gladly schedule around that if it means bringing in big name opponents

Or just trying to schedule good, quality competition. Either way though.

Forever away. But good scheduling regardless.

We've had Wyoming for almost a year now.... In DeKalb in 2015 and in Laramie in 2016...

Add a home and home with Utah to the list.

Wish Kent would follow the lead on this one. I have 6 free flights on my credit card and would love to check out the football stadiums in the western part of the country. Wyoming would be sweet!

Nice job of not only scheduling these 1x1s but spreading them about appropriately.

Wyoming was a blast, if anyone goes make sure to check out Buckhorn, cool bar downtown, more dead animals during the day than locals. At night a huge college hangout, big shotgun hole in the mirror behind the bar.

UNLV is fun, well because it is Vegas.

Would love to see the Rockets schedule BYU or Utah, those would be cool trips.

Granted the night life and tailgate may not be the best experiences, I've heard nothing but great things about the sighted and Salt Lake City. My cousins lived there for a year and my neighbors in my apartment complex are BYU alums.

I plan on making at least one of the games, leaning toward Provo and BYU just because I think my buddy would also make the trip.

Sad, I can do the UNLV trip, because I'm doing the Arkansas game a week later and don't want to blow cash in UNLV when I can go to Vegas another time and probably not see a NIU Arkansas game within a 5 hour drive for awhile.

It'll be better if the game at Provo was in November - you could bring your skis. There's lots of great snow at that time of year.
