2008 Schedule shuffle?

according to FI.com.... this is our 2008 football schedule (which is a work in progress):
Date Opponent / Event Location Time
08/30/08 vs. Missouri in State Farm
Arch Rivalry Game
St. Louis, Mo. TBA
09/06/08 vs. EASTERN ILLINOIS MEMORIAL STADIUM TBA
09/13/08 vs. LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE MEMORIAL STADIUM TBA
09/20/08 TBD TBD TBA
09/27/08 at Penn State * University Park, Pa. TBA
10/04/08 at Michigan * Ann Arbor, Mich. TBA
10/11/08 vs. MINNESOTA * MEMORIAL STADIUM TBA
10/18/08 vs. INDIANA * MEMORIAL STADIUM TBA
10/25/08 at Wisconsin * Madison, Wis. TBA
11/01/08 vs. Iowa * MEMORIAL STADIUM TBA
11/15/08 vs. OHIO STATE * MEMORIAL STADIUM TBA
11/22/08 at Northwestern * Evanston, Ill. TBA

but according to this unconfirmed post on Indiana's scout.com site...

Indiana might be playing in Champaign on the 13th of September.

Which means our date with the Ragin' Cajuns might be in jeopardy...

Basically, if this is true, then we have

September 20th
October 18th
November 8th

to find 2 more games...

I find it very hard to believe that Illinois would agree to swapping dates with IU unless both teams agreed... so itll be interesting to see what the ultimate result will be.

while we are at it... lets laugh for a second at IU's possible schedule:


8/30 Murray State
9/13 at Illinois
9/20 Ball State
9/27 Michigan State
10/4 at Minnesota
10/11 Iowa
10/18 Western Kentucky
10/25 Northwestern
11/1 Central Michigan
11/8 Wisconsin
11/15 at Penn State
11/22 at Purdue

gotta give them credit... even a team as mediocre as them should be bowling with that slate...

8 home games, 5 straight at home? *shudder*
