UNI playing Montana, when will we play a non conference game that matters?

After exposing our team to inferior competition, we went on to lose 4/5 of out first MVFC games.
After exposing our team to MVFC teams, we won our last 3 conference games.

We beat a bad P5 team & a bad UNI team. You mentioned how we won 59-0 against that terrible OOC competition; yet somehow you forget to mention that we had to intercept a pass in the end-zone that could have won the game for Albany, that other poor partial (at that time non-scholarship team). We beat the three crap teams in the conference at the end, but lost to NDSU, ILS, ISU and SDSU ...all 4 teams made the post-season and finished 1, 2, 3, 4 in the conference.
In short, we were exposed by Albany and anyone else that was any good, would have beaten us, just like 4 of the next 5 teams did. There is no way to prove your point with facts, as they do not support your theory and they do not lie. I understand how playing good teams makes you improve more quickly, but again we are not there yet. At this point, we simply need as easy a schedule as possible and still make the post-season.

It wasn't Pitt's finest year, but two weeks later they beat Virginia Tech, went to a bowl game, and the QB from that game just was drafted.
Penguin Nation:
I give Strollo credit for a more aggressive OOC MBB schedule. With these stronger OOC opponents, we went from 2 to 6 HL wins without Bobby Hain playing a single minute against any HL opponent. Maybe this translates to FB as well?
IAA Fan:
Well we do schedule much further ahead in FB than we do in MBB. Most of our $$ games in MBB are last-minute schedules to fill the other team's schedule needs. So it is possible that he has other teams in mind for FB. However, Strollo really has a lot less to do with scheduling (especially MBB) than we think. However, Strollo always sets the tone and negotiates as needed. For example, if our top priority is a $$ game or a home game, then he makes certain we get these.
