Awesome thank you for the information. I will update on the master post when the school posts the schedules. I am glad to see Kingsville dropped the Lincoln turd and added a quality D2 game for 11 D2 games.

Lincoln dropped their own turd. No program anymore.

Interesting, two LSC/GLIAC games so far next season.

Yeah I saw the WT/GV game coming with their new ad from GV.

Kingsville and Saginaw have played in the recent past.

What made me giggle is UTPB fans last year kept yapping about playing 11 D2 games and Western Oregon only 9 D2 games.

Now Western Oregon (awesome for them) stepped up and scheduled a road D2 game while UTPB scheduled a FCS game so both will have 10 D2 games.

Those are 3 very tough teams to start the season with an 0-3 is certainly possible given the player and the offensive coordinator changes.

GV game was scheduled by McBroom.

However we could win 2-3 in a row in October! I'm thinking 4-6 wins total.

Ferris State at Central Washington next season, sounding like sometime Week 2. Ferris AD mentions it in the link at around the 6:50 mark.

According to the big non-schedule thread, Adams State is coming to Sul Ross Week 1:

Oh, and why is CWU putting their new coach through a Ferris State game right off the bat?

The three New Mexico D2’s will continue their three-way
dance of death through the 2029 season:

I think they should all be in the same conference anyway.

I'll be there!!! Wow that will be epic. Is it a home and home then and we go to Michigan in 2027 i wonder

Ferris State at Central Washington: What a great game for Central Washington to host. This might have been a better game last year.
West Texas at Grand Valley: We will find out real fast how good WT is the first three games.
Adams State at Sul Ross: This is a great game for both teams as its winnable for both.
Western Oregon at Colorado Mines: Western Oregon is solving the issue of getting more D2 games for playoff consideration and a positive SOS boost.
I am a little disappointed UTPB and Central Oklahoma scheduled a FCS game instead of two D2 non conference games.
