How are the lowest tickets to the northwestern game $106? If you’re paying $106 for a ticket on the secondary market for that you are an idiotI went over to the squawk board to see what they had to say about the CySquawk game this week. Someone thought that they could end up with 5 loses, and then someone stated it would be hard to lose 5 games to the teams on this schedule. So, I looked up their schedule, it is easier than I thought. Hard game at PSU, but that should not hurt them in the pillow soft west fight, a trip to Wisconsin will determine everything, and then its complete crap. MSU might be a decent game, Illinois struggles yesterday with a MAC team, Purdue, NW and Nebraska lost, and they get Rutgers at home. ISU would win 9 games with that schedule and we are a young team.

Ah seen the post it’s at wrigley field. Now I get it…..
It’s not much of a mystery of what changed from 2020 to 2021 really.
Not looking like world beaters but took care of business aside from Purdue. B12 had what 3 bad losses?
Indiana, northwestern, Minnesota, Nebraska, Rutgers had conference games which helped hide those awful teams. Nice try.
Well if what the Big 10 did this weekend looks daunting to you congratulations!?!
Fair point. NW is going to be awful and likely so is Indiana. But TT, TCU, and Baylor are all supposed to be decent and they’ve all proven easily beatable, is my point.
jfc I remember why I quit the rivalry forum 15+ years ago
If they lose more than 3 games with that schedule, that should be considered a failure of a season. That’s Charmin super soft level schedule. Fran probably has a tougher November schedule than Kirk.
Dang you are right. I looked it up. The Iowa bball schedule is tough in November. Gonna be some angry Fran moments early on in the season!

Any time a team misses Ohio State and Michigan, with MSU at home, how can you say it's not an easy schedule. Hell EIU, fans have been saying it for months. Wisconsin is on the road, but they also have a coaching change, along with NW, Purdue and Nebraska.
Outside of PSU, which team is better than Texas, Oklahoma, Cincinnati, KSU and Kansas. Wisconsin could be equal to them but not better, and I doubt if PSU is better than either Texas or Oklahoma. So which other team on the schedule is better than the teams I named?
I feel this. Wait till they realize we have a better punter. Their nuts will be yanked off immediately.
It can go from a generally good discussion about two average to decent programs to Hok trolls smothering their Haydenism all over everything pretty quickly.
It’s certainly an easier schedule without Michigan and OSU, that’s always a given. I’d agree they need to cash in on that alone and with this being the last of divisions.
Penn St is supposed to have one of their best teams under Franklin. There’s 4 new HC’s in the BIGW. I suspect you would have had TCU on that list of teams that Wisconsin’s not better than last week. I just think it’s a fool’s errand to declare any schedule a patsy or juggernaut based on the previous year’s results, particularly this day and age. That’s fine for pre-season discussion but it means nothing once the games start to be played.
Thats my minimum expectation for them this year, 9-3. They need to keep Cade healthy though. 8-4 would be a failure in my eyes.
TCU was questionable on here weeks ago by many with so much turnover.
The verdict is still out on WI. They were pretty iffy Saturday and will likely be up and down all season.
So, which of the teams on EIU's schedule that played poorly just had a bad day and is better than any of the five schools I mentioned not counting Penn State or Wisconsin?
This myth that EIU improves has less to do with the team getting better, and more to do with the fact that their last five games year in and year out are against teams that are horrible. You can pile up a lot of wins playing the likes of NW, Illinois, Indiania, Purdue, Nebraska, Minnesota and then cross over games with Maryland and Rutgers, while missing Ohio State and Michigan. It's one reason that EIU SOS is so bad every year, and only gets an upgrade when the bowl game is factored in.
