2023 Out of Conference Games - Scheduled

[Barndog]

I’m sure Mankato is looking for a game. They already have been turned down by a few teams. The question is, do u want a week zero or a week 7(?). My guess would be that with a tuff road game to open the season, Mankato would like to get a game under their belts before the road game. That would make for a longer season also. I just wish they would release their schedule so I can make some plans!!!!!

I believe you are correct, only one scrimmage allowed against another four year college.

Keep in mind, this will not be for this Spring....but starting next season.

I do think the 3 games that true freshman can play in will help with player retention..as they can see the field a bit without burning a redshirt. As fans, that means we will see some true freshman on the field more than usual..which is kinda interesting.

The way I understood this change is you can have three scrimmages but only one can be against another four year college. I agree Augie and USF will not be getting together!!

With the approved changes at the D2 level allowing up to 3 scrimmages in spring ball against a 4 year college, maybe some scrimmages in conference or with D3, NAIA or FCS schools. Would not foresee an Augie, Cougar scrimmage as emotions would run high and lead to fights.

SDSU will not be playing an NSIC opponent this season, opting for Western Oregon instead.

Laker be honest. Were you or your ancestors on that team?

My ancestors. I wouldn't have been good enough to be called Terrible in this sense.
