I think the last time was the Covid year the last year of darner. Coach swank said Marquette won’t play uwgb but after I was gone the reason played them during that Covid year they weren’t originally scheduled to play. It was 4 nonconfrence games Marquette got rescheduled. It was craziness that year. But yeah I want to see Shaka vs Sonny. To energetic guys go at it. But it won’t happen all the time.

I wonder when the non conference schedule will be officially be released. And who else is on it. Maybe non d1s st. Norbert is a good one. Parkside with former uwgb player jack rose would be a great one. Maybe a kind of what if game Jack rose against uwgb mens basketball. Tampa would be interesting linc darner and Amari Davis.

Lol if Tampa was a school in Appleton, that game wouldn't happen- let alone a school in Florida. More and more high majors are announcing full schedules- the mid majors are figuring out ways to start home/homes or avoid a non D1 game

In listening to Coach talk about the season I believe that we will see a return to having more than one non D1 game. I do think the number of high major road games will also come down. Coach is a belief guy and nothing gives players more belief than winning. I think the schedule will reflect that. I would also expect the team to spend less time traveling. Last year they went from the east coast to the mid west to Jamaica and then to the west coast. This is a business and time on the road equals money. I have to guess they are looking to make shorter and cheaper trips whenever possible.

Wow that’s a good one it was tough last year. They played a zone. They almost one. Hopefully this years game is better for uwgb. You add this game to the other list the nonconfrence schedule is almost complete. Maybe one more exhibition against non d1. Some other games. It’s a interesting non conference schedule it’s Virginia tech not Michigan.

Looks like it is UC-Riverside in the Montana State MTE instead of the previously speculated game vs. Southern Utah

Looks like it is UC-Riverside in the Montana State MTE instead of the previously speculated game vs. Southern Utah According to Bart Torvik’s 2024 rankings (https://barttorvik.com/trankpre.php) playing Riverside instead of Southern Utah will represent facing a tougher opponent (UCR = 205; SUU = 277) Montana State is 230 in Torvik’s rankings, while GB is at 315 (underrated imo) - should be some good early season competition

Having only two high major road games is a big improvement and should help lead to more wins.
They play four road games against other mid majors. We have no idea how good this GB team is but road games with Valpo, Montana St, SIUE and UIC would not normally be too intimidating. Valpo and Montana St have new coaches so that helps.
They have a neutral site game against UC Riverside. UCR will be picked near the top of the Big West.
Only two D1 home games isn't ideal. WIU has a new coach and St Thomas lost their top player so these games are winnable.
Two non D1 home games should build momentum this year and this year only but no serious program should be scheduling multiples of this type of game.
Overall there is a pathway to a good record with this schedule. I think it is a good start that the athletic department is no longer going all over the country for pay checks like they made Linc Darner and Will Ryan do.
