Originally posted by Peacockfan View PostI’m looking forward to see how Sam Backer fits in the game plan. He’s listed as a running back, however in high school he played more of the wildcat position. He threw the ball some and was somewhat effective but his accuracy left much to be desired. He racked up a ton of yards even though every defense knew he was going to carry the ball. He was also very good at safety.

I don’t think week zero is allowed in D2. I want to say I saw that somewhere in this board, but I couldn’t find it so please don’t quote me for fact on it.

I should get the old CAD software back out and sketch up some more fantasy renderings! Hopefully, after like a decade of thinking about it, we end up with the Taylor Center of D2 stadiums and not a glorified high school stadium, otherwise what would be the point. And with room for expansion so we don't potentially box ourselves in a corner should we move up a division.

Minnesota State Opens 2023 Season on Sept. 2
MANKATO, Minn. --- Minnesota State’s 2023 season will feature 10 games against Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference opponents, including five games at Blakeslee Stadium.
Since joining the NSIC in 2008, the Mavericks have won eight NSIC Championships, to go along with 10 NSIC South Division Championships. In 2022, MSU went 10-3 as it advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
MSU opens its season with a road contest, as it takes on the Sioux Falls Cougars. Game day and kickoff are to be determined between the Mavericks and Cougars. Minnesota State then opens its home schedule on September 9th as it hosts Wayne State at 6:00 p.m., in a rematch from their encounter during the first round of the NCAA Tournament last season.
September 16th will see the Mavericks head north as they take on the Minot State Beavers at 1:00 p.m., before returning to Blakeslee Stadium on September 23rd as they square off with the Concordia-St. Paul Golden Bears at 1:00 p.m.

MSU then returns home for its annual Homecoming Game as it takes on the MSU Moorhead Dragons on October 7th, with kickoff set for 2:00 p.m. The Mavericks own a 53-33-2 record during Homecoming games, including wins in their last 11 outings. MSU owns a 7-3 record against the Dragons in their 10 meetings during Homecoming, with MSU Moorhead winning the last outing 10-7 back in 1979.

Who knows was it cowardice, or finances that stopped the other schools from scheduling MSU. All I know is, I hate this schedule.

The only reasonable DII week 7 possibilities: Saginaw Valley State took a game against DIII St. Xavier, and Central Oklahoma chose to keep their game against Lincoln for this year. I don't think anyone wanted to see the Mavericks beat some NAIA or DIII team 80-0. An FCS matchup like Southwest got against Valpo would have been intriguing. As is, the Mavs and Bemidji are left holding the bag for 2023.

It's sad that the NSIC flagship football program was unable to find an 11th game. There were or are programs with matching open dates. Makes me think they wanted to avoid a non-competitive game.

It appeared that last year and in 2023 the RMAC plays conference games from about W3-W11. Mesa doesn't have their schedule posted. Did you see something about Mesa looking for an opponent?
