Future Big 12 FB Opponents/Schedule Announced

This is like Christmas morning. We are all awake, eager to open gifts. I get the feeling some people will be happy with their gift, some will be quite upset, and some will be "meh" about it.

No matter what it will be entertaining to see what present everyone receives and their reaction

Because we’re Iowa State I feel like we’re going to be quite upset
 
I think its weird some of these other conferences aren't giving out the same amount of protected rivalries' to each school. Iowa has 3, for instance whereas other big 10 schools have 1.

Seems little unfair, no?
Depends if your protected rivals suck or not...

The big ten let teams pick their protected rivals. Most teams just wanted 1. I was shocked Iowa didn’t pick the whole big ten west as their protected rivals. :jimlad:

I think PSU has zero.

Who's proposing 10 conference games?
unless the other mega conferences go to 10, then we shouldn't. I bet if the BigTen and Big12 went to 10 games, you would officially see the end of the CyHawk game, but who knows.

IMO, Iowa is staring at a fork in the road here the next year or two.
If Kirk leaves b/c he is upset about how things went down then that new hire is going to be very important.
with Oregon, Wash, USC, UCLA joining the league and the BigTen's new structure where they get rid of the divisions will push Iowa down the pecking order and routinely just be in the middle of the league. May be good to actually play then at that point :) Of course without their punter, I am not sure they make a bowl this year.

I am getting really sick of losing to those *******.

I'd give us a better chance to beat Iowa if we played them this Saturday than I would to beat Kansas.

I would agree with you, but you know their good for a pick 6 and 3 punts pinned inside of our 5 in Jack Trice. I for some reason like our chances at Kinnick than Ames...lol

Yup. Iowa (and some other self-proclaimed big-time programs) have made it clear they can’t financially compete without 7 home games. If you go to 10 conference games (5 home, 5 away) Iowa will never, ever again play a nonconference game away from Kinnick.

You'd have to think Iowa State/Iowa draws more butts in seats at higher prices per seats and is a better television product to sell to networks than Iowa's swashbuckling 10-7 victory (needed to block a field goal... twice... to prevent overtime) against the IUPUI-Shipshewana Barnbuilders or whatever MAC team.
