Heady stuff, I prefer being the underdog.

We get Montana, Montana State, Poly and Weber at home and have added Cal and NDSU to the schedule but manage to miss Barriere (EWU) and Cookus (NAU). Away games at Sac, SUU and Portland State. Pretty good lineup with Lehigh and San Diego rounding it out. Not taking anything for granted, now the Ags are a team to beat and we have a big laser sight pointed right at us...on that little A in between the C.

If the goal is a top seed in the playoffs so we avoid playing an away game in adverse conditions, then being highly regarded from the beginning is better than being a Cinderella.
Montana, Montana State and Weber all look to be challenges. We’ll need some defensive improvement to sweep those games and earn that high ranking.

I have a room booked for Frisco, just in case.

same, with free cancellation though. I'm not that bold

I’m in the same boat.
