Ferris - LR

[GLIAC Fan]

Terrific OOC game set up, the new and improved LR stadium looks awesome.

With this being a week 2 game, does that mean Ashland dropped FSU and will not do a return trip to Big Rapids?

It's a fantastic non-con game.

Great OOC match up. Wish we had more of these top tier games. If nothing has changed I believe GV opens with Colorado Mines and then goes to Colorado State Pueblo the next week.

Yeah, decent matchups with Mines and Pueblo to start the season. There's a non-conference game with Wayne State, and we're playing American International College out of the NE-10. The one I'm still trying to figure out is Lincoln University out of Oakland California. Looks like they're some small school that would make Hillsdale's enrollment look big that just recently started up an athletic department.

It looks like it's a new program and it might be only their second season.

They might be a fun one to watch. The coach wants to give the team top shelf experience. Probably explains why he's got no issue playing GV. The athletics there are interesting. For example, Gary Payton is their men's BBall coach. Sounds like the school is trying to get quality programs. Trying and getting are two different things, but got to tip ones hat to how they're starting anyway.

That Lincoln game will be a massacre. Central Wash. beat them 92-0. Probably only team that would take the game that week, but sheesh. Gotta wait and see what kind of rabbit Ferris can pull out of their hat for another OOC. So far Findlay and LR that I'm aware of. Might have to play another SAC or a maybe a Gulf South team.

Good Luck with that. We're not even the biggest thing in our own conference and no one wants to play us. Welcome to the party...

Little doubt. I think it's also Family Day for GV which ends up being one of the bigger attendance games, regardless of the opponent. So they'll get the whole experience.

I don't have much on their current talent level, but I think the coach wants to send a message that they want to be solid. No clue how large a budget these guys have, but they seem to fly to most games. Likely little choice with their location.

Will GV pay them some for the game?

I don't know, but I would suspect they will. Since it doesn't sound like a H&H I'm betting that GV is paying them some amount.

Central Washington also owes us a return game at some point, maybe they make the trip out in October or something.

Correct. Lincoln (Calif.) apparently played several LSC teams last season and, unless I'm mistaken, are not yet affiliated with NCAA/NAIA.

Ashland is scheduled to play Findlay in Week 2. The GMAC's new schedule with the addition of Northwood appears to have played a role in Ashland dropping Ferris from the schedule:

Factoring in their "cross-over" games against GLVC teams (save for Northwood) in Weeks 3 and 4, the GMAC basically is using the remaining nine weeks for conference play with each team having an open date (Ashland's open date happens to be Week 1, when they face NDC).

Figured that was the case. Between scheduling alliances and silo scheduling along with the GLIAC bleeding teams, Ferris and GV are going to struggle to find OOC in the near future.
