GLVC Fall Schedules 2021

[Uindy18]

It looks like Uindy has announced their fall schedule. My main takeaway is the bizarre choice to open the season with NAIA Saint Xavier. If you are going to play an NAIA away, why not play any of the 4 in you state (one of which is like 20 minutes up the road)?

Surprised UINDY is playing NAIA team period but, as a fan, Chicago is a lot more fun than small Indiana towns.

Fair, just seems if you were gonna play an NAIA, why not play the cross town team in Marian? They tried to get a trophy rivalry game going with them a few years ago, but it sort of died out.

Twenty five players plus the last I heard on the UIndy Team from Chicagoland plus a few from The Region - NW Indiana. The St X game was going to be 2020 season last fall and this year so two years in a row both in Chicago for their families to see them play.

It is too bad the Chicago is essentially a D2 football wasteland. With only Purdue-NW and Lewis in the area and neither sponsoring football, I can see why going to play Saint Xavier would be the only option if you wanted to play a game in Chicago.

[michiganfb]

Lewis flirted with the idea of a football program a couple times and even has a football field. No area D2 teams is probably why the GLVC recruits Chicago so hard.

That home opener U Indy vs Tiffin will be big. For one thing Tiffin recruits a lot guys U Indy passes on and doesn't offer. Hearing that this Spring U Indy lost 2-3 key guys probably out the whole fall season. Hoping one or two can make it back okay.

[Inkblot]

Yep, the Chicago area hasn't had D2 football since St. Francis went back to the NAIA after the 1998 season.

The 2021 Truman State schedule is out:

Date	Time	Home/Away	Opponent	Location
September 4	12 p.m. (ET)	Away	Davenport	Grand Rapids, MI
September 11	1 p.m. (ET)	Away	Wayne State	Davenport, MI
September 18	TBA	Home	Hillsdale	KIRKSVILLE
September 25	TBA	Away	Tiffin	Tiffin, OH
October 2	TBA	Home	Lindenwood	KIRKSVILLE
October 9	1 p.m.	Away	Missouri S&T	Rolla, MO
October 16	TBA	Away	Southwest Baptist	Bolivar, MO
October 23	TBA	Home	William Jewell	KIRKSVILLE
October 30	TBA	Home	Quincy	KIRKSVILLE
November 6	1 p.m.	Away	McKendree	Lebanon, IL
November 13	TBA	Home	Indianapolis	KIRKSVILLE

At first glance, it's nice to get Lindenwood and Indianapolis at home. Indy has only been to Kirksville once since 2016, so that will be nice to get the Greyhounds on the Stokes turf. Some long non-conference trips this year, but I'm guessing it's the return trip that was supposed to be last year for Wayne State, then week 1 I'm guessing will be returned by DU at some point.

[Uindy18]

Looks like Missouri S&T is up too. South Dakota Mines is the main one of note here it seems

Sep 2 (Thu) 6 p.m. (MT) South Dakota Mines Rapid City, SD
Sep 18 (Sat) 1 p.m. Wayne State (Mich.) Rolla, MO
Sep 25 (Sat) TBA Hillsdale Hillsdale, MI
Oct 2 (Sat) TBA Quincy Quincy, IL
Oct 9 (Sat) 1 p.m. Truman State Rolla, MO
Oct 16 (Sat) 1 p.m. William Jewell Rolla, MO
Oct 23 (Sat) TBA McKendree Lebanon, IL
Oct 30 (Sat) 1 p.m. Indianapolis Rolla, MO
Nov 6 (Sat) 1 p.m. Lindenwood Rolla, MO
Nov 13 (Sat) TBA Southwest Baptist Bolivar, MO

[Uindy18]

Southwest Baptist is up too. Tough game #1 in UWF.

November 13, 2021 (Saturday)	1 PM	Home	Missouri S&T	Bolivar, MO

[Uindy18]

Lindenwood is up. Starting a string of playing an FCS in non-conference with South Dakota State is interesting.

September 2, 2021 (Thursday)	7:00 p.m.	Home	Angelo State University	St. Charles, Mo. Hunter Stadium
September 11, 2021 (Saturday)	TBA	Away	South Dakota State University	Brookings, S.D.

November 13, 2021 (Saturday)	1:00 p.m.	Home	McKendree University	St. Charles, Mo. Hunter Stadium

[Uindy18]

McKendree is the last one I could find. Quincy and William Jewel are the only stragglers by my short amount of research.

9/4 vs. Northern Michigan
9/11 @ Delta State
9/18 vs Lake Erie
9/25 @ Walsh 10/2 vs William Jewel
10/9 @ Indianapolis
10/16 @ Quincy
10/23 vs Missouri S&T
10/30 @ Southwest Baptist
11/6 vs. Truman State
11/13 @. Lindenwood

[michiganfb]

Multiple GLVC games vs the GLIAC will be interesting. And with the scheduling alliance vs the GMAC will be for bragging rights going forward. Good chance the Crossroads Bowl would be two teams that already met during the season??

Possibly, assuming that each conference only gets one or two teams in, I would bet that it is Truman or Lindenwood against Hillsdale or Findlay. Ohio Dominican, Missouri S&T, and Mckendree I would also consider contenders. Uindy and Tiffin probably win the conferences again, and get to the playoffs but crazier things have happened.

[michiganfb]

Looks like both U Indy and Lindenwood have to play Truman and S&T on the road and Lindenwood has to play U Indy on the road. But I'll go with Lindenwood to win the conference like I did this spring. Heard that U Indy lost at least three starters during the spring season that will be out for the fall. Lindenwood rested and continues to load up on transfers. U Indy playing too many youngsters on defense.

From what I saw this spring, Hillsdale is down but that Tiffin vs U Indy game will be huge.
