The ol' K-State/Baylor non-conference type of opponent. Love it
You could make North Texas a national power in NCAA 2003Didn't realize that UNT was not the same level as UNI, SDSU. At this point it is nice to have that extra game.
I want no part of Jack trice in December. Not enough layers to keep me warm
From Incarnate Word’s side, they cancelled a game in favor of a payday (plus a cushy chartered flight). They agreed to the Championship Game stipulation after they looked at our history and said, “We won’t have to worry about that, ISU is never good at football.”
After we win against OU on Saturday, they’re going to be thinking, “Oh crap...”
I'd play South Dokata State anyday over alot of these fcs schools. at least they have a pulse and I've herd of them. that being said, bring on the word! a wins a winWe might get a lot of **** because of the silly university name, but this isn't like playing Drake. They're an FCS school just the same as SDSU and UNI. Anyone that was holding out hope for scheduling Nebraska or another FBS school is an idiot. Facebook is full of them right now complaining that this is a bad game, completely forgetting they bought a ticket to see South freaking Dakota State.
Nonsense. Making sure we have six is wise, but there is much more...primarily taking advantage of the new redshirt rule and seeing what we have in younger talent at the end of the season...which would be a huge benefit even if we were sitting at 4 wins. Improving bowl seeding is a legitimate reason as well.

I probably shouldn’t say this.. but you’re an idiotYou're proving my point.
I don't want to win 5 games and only get to a bowl game because we beat the little sisters of the poor on Dec 1st. Not very deserving IMO.
Holy **** it gets worseAll this says is that CMC and JP are really concerned about getting to 6 wins this year.
You do realize though that outside of like maybe 5% of college football fans, a win/loss to a crappy FCS school looks the exact same as a win/loss to a good FCS school (minus NDSU)I'd play South Dokata State anyday over alot of these fcs schools. at least they have a pulse and I've herd of them. that being said, bring on the word! a wins a win
Sure, ISU should refund those tickets once SDSU refunds a corresponding amount of it’s guaranteed payment. Otherwise, no.Not sure if this has been asked in the thread yet but i started thinking. Theyre saying they will reissue tickets to those who bought. Will they be reissuing these to SDSU fans in the visitors section as well?
For sure. That's literally the only reason we're playing them - to improve record for bowl selection.
I’d guess this may wind up like an NFL preseason game. The starters don’t play very long, the reserves—especially freshmen and walkons—get to have fun. In the former case, invaluable experience—the latter, deservedly so.The rule that Freshmen can play in up to 4 games without losing a season of eligibility is a big reason for the game as well.
This is a great pickup for the 12th game.
One thing I've found interesting throughout this thread is people seem to have an issue because they haven't heard of the team before. Why does that matter? I've heard of Incarnate Word before and knew they had a team, so just because someone hasn't heard of XYZ team they are somehow less of a team? Just a weird take to me. Shoot there are plenty of people who don't know all of the P5 schools that follow football.
