Wouldn't you fan base have more interest in playing regional FCS teams like Idaho St / E. Wash / Montana and Montana St.? I know Washington St. and Boise are also big rivals but you haven't been playing them anyway.
Not really, we played E. Wash a few years ago and it was the second least attended home game of the year (and this was the first game of the year before we knew how bad that team was). Montana was kind of a rival back in the day but I don't really even see them being all that interesting after not playing them for 10+ years. I would wager to guess that the majority of the Idaho fanbase has never even been to Montana outside of the Yellowstone National Park area.
if the Idaho faithful see themselves as less of a regional brand and more national, than they need to ramp things up and schedule and beat some "name" schools. if a school like boise could do it so should they be able to. that would make them desirable in the eyes of the mwc where they would like to be.
They just need to beat schools, "name" or no name. And fix their APR stuff, and build a real stadium. They have a laundry list of things that need to be fixed.
