"Sounds like we will be releasing the 2011 #MAC Football schedule if everything goes as planned today! Hopefully around 3 p.m."

"Just sent out a tweet a bit ago. Look around 3 pm today! RT @Ryankratzer: When do u expect conference football schedules to be announced?"

Agreed with Cybes.. should have stuck with Hurons.

I'll be there for both!

I already took the 25th off of work.
I am expecting the 15th to be the black out game so I'll just have to get out early.

I'll probably be there for both too but we might be the only ones.

These are the two games I am worried about and the team will need our help.

We have 10 days to get ready for Toledo but the Rockets have the same time to get ready for us. Who wins should come do to who wants it more.

We will have to yell really loud then!

The Ball St game (I am assuming to be blackout) is 1hr later this year so maybe more people can attend.

Something to note...
BGSU, Ball St & Toledo all get 10 days to get ready to play us.

We get 10 days to get ready to play Toledo and EMU.

Just noticed that WMU on 10/15 is HOMECOMING on http://www.niuhuskies.com

So much for my theory in a post of mine a couple weeks back expecting a weaker opponennt (ie: EMU).

Its early but barring injuries its not improbable to go 11-1...

Army..........7-6 (W EMU 31-27, L Temple 42-35, W Kent St. 45-28)
Kansas.......3-9 (L Iowa State 28-16)
Wisconsin..11-2 (W Minnesota 41-23)
Cal Poly.....7-4 (L to Fresno 38-17, W North Dakota 22-21)

MAC
CMU........3-9
Kent St....5-7
WMU.......6-6
Buffalo.....2-10
Toledo.....8-5
BGSU......2-10
Ball St.....4-8
EMU........2-10

That makes me less worried about WMU since the game should have a decent showing.

I think that we will lose out on our BGSU ESPN2 game to Toledo/WMU.

If BGSU is 2-4 when they meet up with Toledo then our WMU game could be the MAC game of the week.
