NW brings NSU to Rickenbrode-Mel Tjeerdsma-Bearcat Stadium this Homecoming weekend to Maryville. Just wondering who your personal ideal Homecoming opponent would be these days. Where do you lean on the 'competitive scale' with the team coming to town on Homecoming weekend? Personally, don't know too many people who don't want some kind of guarantee the home team comes away with the win. Pretty much everyone wants to go to town after the game to celebrate at their favorite pub. Does anyone actually want a team coming to town who threatens your Homecoming with a hard-fought battle? Does anyone want to see a dominating win?

A good rivalry would be best, imo. NW, ESU, MoSo, or WU.
I don't want a guaranteed win, but I go just for the football and the atmosphere. A win against a respectable opponent is what I hope for. If it's a dominating win, that's even better, but watching a mismatch is just not much fun after the first few minutes. No Lincolns or NSU's, please.

You want to win, but the atmosphere suffers if it's a weak opponent everyone knows you'll steamroll. For UNK right now, I'd go with Hays, Washburn or Central Missouri (Lambo connection). If a noncon was possible, the obvious choices would be the in-state rivals, Chadron or Wayne. Other fun possibilities would be old RMAC foes like Colorado Mines or Pueblo.

That said, I hope we take offense to the disrespect of Washburn scheduling us this weekend and use it as extra motivation on the road.Roll Chos!

When I saw we scheduled Pitt for homecoming this year my first thought was that decision was clearly made by someone who doesn’t know the MIAA or is delusional. However, I would agree that the NSU game was boring after the 1st quarter. The best homecoming atmosphere requires scheduling a quality opponent.
