Man I am glad UM is through with the days of a "needed" ass kicking to generate money.

True, but the kids really enjoy the opportunity of playing BCS level schools. I enjoy watching it as a fan. I wish we played a FBS level opponent at least once every year.

Guess the scare they got from EWU made them figure they'd better go a bit deeper into the conference this time around.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

They've got PSU on the slate this year, and EWU again in 2014.

No kidding. UW only added the FCS teams because BYU kept beating them in non-conference. UW would have NEVER scheduled these games with Willingham, for fear of losing.

Isn't Idaho State opening their season against USAF? A pretty good preparatory game against Black Hills State before they go to Nebraska, I guess.

ISU is in the "two money games" per year mode, probably permanently. "Game guarantees" is one of the two or three largest "revenue" categories for both the football and basketball teams -- far ahead of ticket sales, for example.
