That would be nice to play that road MAC level game on a Thursday or Friday night.
It was a game Hayden Fry loved to use in order to exaggerate Iowa's brand compared to their lowly instate counterpart. It got interesting when Iowa got back to pre-Hayden-like teams and ISU wasn't horrible. Was downright intense when both teams were pseudo-regularly going to bowls at the same time.
A lot can happen with injuries, de-commits or whatever but I'll see less than 6 wins as a disappointment next year since it wasn't all that far out of reach the last two seasons.
FIFY. I can only dream of a coach who committing to a place like ISU, along with, from what I know, having a lot of respect for the game and generally winning without reverting to the latest gimmicks or trends.
Wonder if the "television" thing they're trying to work out is to get UNI game on Thursday with FS1/ESPNU or something, and see if they can get the KU game on Cyclones.tv.
First, I'm glad Ku was moved to the middle of the schedule when the game could potentially have some meaning. I didn't think they'd do that but glad they did.
As for Farmageddon being the new end game, that's great. This is a natural between non-bordering land grants.
Coach will have his best outfit since Snyder 2.0 commenced. They'll certainly be in a hunt for a league championship which would be a nice send off for his career. OU comes to Manhattan along with WVU, TCU and Baylor. ISU should be in a nice position coming into that game.

Well, they do each share a border with Missouri and Nebraska ... maybe that's what Surly meant.
40 miles at the closest point. If we're gonna be pedantic might as well be accurate too.
I should have written 'neighbors' or 'rivals' or 'non-rivals.' Then people would have maybe spent some time on the point of the two playing at the end for a deere [sic] trophy fully equipped with Ku driver.
