I did not realize the Minnesota game was at Lockhardt. I actually need to give some props to both OK St. and Minnesota for going on the road for this game. Was this a 2 for 1 or a true home and home series?

I believe Oklahoma State is home and home, but I might be wrong. Minnesota is 2 for 1 as is Michigan State.

GO OWLS!!!

I believe the Gophers mgame is at Dolphin Stadium and th Oak St. Game is in Stillwater

Both are 2 for one, as are the upcoming series with USF and Michigan State. AFAIK, all other non-conference I-A games have been one-off away games, except Florida, which is a deal for two away games. USF comes to Lockhart this season. Michigan State comes to our new on campus stadium (more likely, Dolphin Stadium or a temp facility) in 2010. We have never signed a home and home series.

If FAU is going to continue to do the "Barnstorming" circuit, then we should schedule some teams like Arizona St., Oregon St., UNLV, the Military Acadamies, Marshall, & second tier teams from all the conferences, & at least a couple of wins will come our way.

cjdub21, I would also like to see games of that type and we probably have a better chance of one - for - one contracts.

One-off games against UCF (then in the MAC), USF (CUSA), MTSU (SBC), and Hawaii (WAC) when we were I-AA were, AFAIK, our only games outside of the "power 6" conferences. It all comes down to $$$.

Untill start to play in our own house, stadium on campus, we need the money games. It would be nice thought to have a mid-major on the schedule every year to soften the brutality of the OC scheduling.
