Added to the schedule are a pair of road games the Bulldogs have planned against the University of Dayton on Nov. 4, in Ohio, and against Central Michigan University, Nov. 16, i
n nearby Mount Pleasant. The contest against the Flyers is being labeled as an exhibition, but not the second Division I contest, against the Chippewas. The game against CMU could be a little tricky as the Bulldogs are scheduled to be in Romeoville, Ill. to take on Lewis University in an important regional contest the night before, on Nov. 15. Games between Division II and Division I teams generally create a buzz for the Division II clubs and their fans.

Games between Division II and Division I teams generally create a buzz for the Division II clubs and their fans.A few years ago, the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference made headlines as Grand Valley State University upset Michigan State University and the University of Findlay upset Ohio State University in two exhibitions.
Obviously, such outcomes are rare (even if stunning), but these games do generate excitement for Division II schools (especially since the Big Ten Network has been televising some of these contests).
A few years ago, Ferris had the opportunity to travel to Ann Arbor to face the University of Michigan in an exhibition contest on Nov. 1, 2007. The Bulldogs fell 78-40.
