Something new to talk about, rather than our usual conversations as of late:

I was told by a very good source tonight that a date with Minnesota is looking very good for next season's schedule. I love the idea. Short road trip, and The Barn is a cool arena. I was also told that it's not looking like Marquette is going to happen. I suppose we have Green Bay to thank for that. Purdue is another possibility. I suggested Michigan to my source, and they said if we could get a check for $100,000, it would be a great place to play. I know for sure that we Klotsche Krazies would love to get back to Ann Arbor after the fun we had last weekend. Expect another away game in the NYC area (Manhattan, Hofstra, St. John's, etc.) to give JO a game close to home his senior year.

Non-conference opponents locked in as of now:

at Davidson
at Tennessee Tech
vs. Northern Iowa

Expected opponents:

at Minnesota
at Wisconsin
a MAC team or two (Buffalo was specifically mentioned, perhaps NIU series is extended? I would prefer Central or Eastern Michigan.)
a NYC opponent

My wish list:

Michigan
Purdue (they are looking for teams that they'll give money to come there, and we've beat them)
No DePaul (They lose no-one from this year's team.)
No D-II teams, I'd rather play Chicago State for a "win" game.
A thanksgiving break tourney vs. Top 150 teams.
