Let's stop playing UNI on the road, NOW

[NATEizKING]

Judging by your logic you now can compare basketball to football. Those games you listed are not traditional series, it just happened to be a one time thing. UNC example is only the past two years. USC is just this year not even last year. Florida St. played UCF at home and did not play them at all last year (not sure why this was in your example.) Indiana is only the last two years. Texas Tech played a two for one as CC came to their place the two previous years in exchange for this year. I do not know if they will play away again next year but right now it is not a home and home but a two for one. Can you provide a home and home that happens EVERY year or just an example of one and one that is over after the two game series?

State funded (assisted) Institutions should be looking to schedule in state schools for a couple of reasons, good attendance draws, and keeping guarantee money within the State....

Lots of States do this, it is also easier on traveling expense and filling out schedules....

If you are in a BCS conference and can not "nut up" and play home and home, two for one's ect, then so be it...

(IMO) It would be sad to see such contests NOT take place, If you can't Win in Cedar Falls..? You should probably stay away from Chapel Hill, Pauly Pavilion, and the Thomas and Mack Center too.....

I'm not against a two for one, but 100% against home and home. I'm still waiting on an example of one BCS team that does a home and home on a yearly basis. If you lose in any of those above stadiums it is not a bad loss. Losing there won't keep you out of the NCAA tourney.

Exactly, if we can't handle a home and home with Drake, how the heck are we going to handle one with Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Northwestern, etc?

Nebraska football played at Wyoming this year. They should never do that according to your logic. And none of the teams I listed above should have scheduled those games either.

My guess is all those examples you stated above are "sister" regent-type schools. I am in the camp that says Iowa State and Iowa SHOULD do home-and-home with UNI. We should tell Drake to go pound sand...

Iowa. :wideeyed:

 

[NATEizKING]

How do you compare losing at Drake to losing at Michigan, by 9 and 10, respectively? Not the same at all to the selection committee.

Colorado and Colorado State do both BBall and FBall

Although Fball has been moved to Mile High recently for bigger crowds...

BIG 12 (PAC 12) vs Mountain West

there are others....

Iowa. :wideeyed:

Did you see that Iowa AD doesn't want to renew the series?

Ah, someone else is tired of UNI being better than them. Cool.

It's hard to argue because it's the two top schools in the state. If ISU dropped to a lower conference had the Big 12 collapsed I think ISU and Iowa would still play. What are the Big 12 and Pac 12 that play the MW examples? If your going to use that then please look up an example I don't want to do all your work for you.

Still takes a considerable amount of wins to make the tourney, no matter where or who the losses were to.

 

[NATEizKING]

Ah, someone else who is doing what is best for their university. Cool.

FIFY

So if we are on the bubble this season, they are going to look at Michigan and Drake and say well those losses are pretty equivalent.

 

[DeereClone]

I'm done with CF/this thread for the night. This argument is getting old.

I think we should keep UNI and Drake on the schedule. They are fun games, that have a lot of positive implications.

I think people are sour about playing so poorly against these teams and them beating us. If we beat both of them this year, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Looking forward to the game tomorrow night, should be fun.

I do not need to prove my point, because you are not listening....

Happens all the time with In State rivals in Mens and Womens Basketball, especially now with the explosion of D1 want to be Schools out there. Home and Home are not unusual.

In Football, the BCS or Division 1 school usually always host's, but they play at the benefit of both State Schools, better gates, less travel expense and keeping funds in State....

 

[NATEizKING]

Keep them on the schedule, change it to a two for one.

I get it, there are no examples. No BCS schools play a home and home with non-BCS schools aside from Colorado because they are the only BCS school in their state.

Good Lord, those whining about playing Drake and UNI sound like Hawkeye fans and playing us in football. Who the heck wants to play more teams like North Carolina A&T? The fact that we still play these games while other large schools in other states chased dollars says something commendable about our setup. If you don't want to play these teams then don't ***** when Iowa drops us because they need another Patsy.

 

[NATEizKING]

Iowa and ISU are both BCS schools that is no comparison. I highly doubt the game will ever be dropped unless one of the schools loses their BCS status. Even then it may not be. I am not at all saying we should stop playing them. I am saying we should not play a home and home on a yearly basis.
