After watching these last 3 games against Jackson State, South East Louisiana, and Chicago State we need to get UNI and Drake back on the schedule every year. Money be damn, but we should play them both every year rotating home and home. I guess we would take a financial hit by 1 less home game every season but it would add 2 games of interest.
UNI and even Drake seem to beat us a more than expected amount which sucks but isn't that why you play the games. Playing a cupcake and being a 27 point favorite doesn't provide much entertainment value to me.
When we play in Cedar Falls or Des Moines the environment and atmosphere are normallly pretty ruckus and a good warm up for the Big XII road test to come.
I'll admit I always root for any team from the state of Iowa other than one of course so it's also a good chance to get to know the players for UNI and Drake better incase either of them make a run and grab my interest.
