Iowa bucknell

Anyone know why they decided on this matchup for neutral site game? You think if they weren’t playing at carver they would find a matchup that had a bit more draw than Bucknell.

Either way, I have one spare ticket for this if someone is in Dsm and needs a solo ticket.

Neutral site games in the Quad Cities and Sioux Falls, usually get a sellout. Games in Des Moines have a pretty good turnout. Playing a 3-9 Bucknell team is a hard sell. Not going to lie, watching that Western Michigan game was a hard watch. It was so hard I tapped out half way through the 1st half.

Turns out there is an explanation. The game was last scheduled vs St. Louis with Fran, but Ben McCollum is close friends with their head coach and preferred not playing him. So I guess there was few options to find to replace them when they did.

What? They had a “secret” scrimmage earlier in the year…why not just run it back? Is their friendship that fragile? You need to play teams with a pulse in these neutral site games. This Bucknell team is awful.
