2024 Football Schedule

Arizona, Arizona State, BYU, and Colorado have no videos.

Baylor is fun:

Cincy is like Texas Tech with lip reading; ok:

Houston - thumbs down:

Kansas is ok:

K-State has a take on Family Feud which makes you realize how much that show relies on Steve Harvey being hilarious:

ISU's has some good ones (Tech was funny): https://twitter.com/CycloneFB/status/1752361032067211484

TCU's is about emojis which I liked: https://twitter.com/TCUFootball/status/1752365471658287423

Texas Tech is too long: https://twitter.com/TexasTechFB/status/1752391803360174511

UCF is clearly the best one. That was epic.

Utah's is ok: https://twitter.com/Utah_Football/status/1752363618665144574

West Virginia is meh: https://twitter.com/WVUfootball/status/1752385471194501623

Schedule for the season gets announced and I just got an email about renewing our season tickets. Looks like they are moving the cutoff date to renew up this year, we have until February 29th to keep our seats for next season.

Really on the fence about renewing this year, love our seats, but it gets harder and harder to make the games, really thinking about not renewing and then just going to the WV and Utah games on the road. Guess I have a month to decide.

Yeah, with a price increase to boot (for a pretty crap home schedule, IMO). We'll likely drop a seat or two if we do renew.

Probably the new normal in the newest Big 12.

Yep, it's going to be a long time before I can ever feel great about this new group of schools. Over the last 12 years, we have lost 5 of the programs we've played the most in our history. Those schools had very large fanbases, big stadiums, good TV ratings, and have now been replaced by smaller directional-type schools, so much so that we're now one of the "big kids" in the conference. It is tough to be excited to play smaller schools with which we have no tradition. I'm trying to think positively in that we should (in theory) have a much better chance to win these types of games. The voice in the back of my head says that over time, we'll probably regress by lowering to the level of the new competition as they gain more equal resources to us, like what's happened with TCU now compared to when they entered the B12. Oh well. At least for now, it's the best we can hope for and there's no one that can truly feel superior to others (except Utah, for no reason).

I was curious when looking at how this schedule sets up, with so many weird names on it, so I looked up some stats. Out of the other 15 schools in the league, here's how often we have played our "new" league opponents:

K-State - 107 times
Kansas - 102
Colorado - 65
Oklahoma State - 58
Baylor - 22
Texas Tech - 21
TCU - 15
West Virginia - 11
Arizona - 6
BYU - 5
Utah - 5
Cincinnati - 1 (this year)
Houston - never (will play in 2024)
UCF - never (will play in 2024)
Arizona State - never

This coming year, we're also going to play North Dakota and Arkansas State for the first time. I wonder when the last year was that we played 4 new programs in a single season.

Probably similar to the KSU/ISU games 15 years ago.

That's what I was thinking. I attended both of those games, and I don't think either had huge crowds (55,000 maybe?). But it seemed roughly equal.

However, ISU is playing in front of much larger crowds than we used to. And we aren't giving up a home game for this as we did in 2009-10 which I think made some people upset.
 
Man, all this excitement here about finally having a softer schedule and a chance to put up a great win total, and all I can picture is the college football gods getting ready to administer the biggest groin kick we have ever received.

I'm not familiar with Houston stadium situation.... do they play indoors? Or are we looking at another possible Baylor "heatgate" scenario?

Houston has a stadium that seats 38000 approx., but they have played some games at NRG, (Texans Stadium. indoors) but campus stadium is outdoors.

Our KSU one is hilarious. I'm beginning to enjoy this rivalry more than Iowa

Our price should stay the same, since we were in the group that got moved because they switched the students to the South endzone. We currently have four seats, really not sure what we are going to do. I really hate giving them up, but I am also know it gets harder each year to make the drive up, tailgate go to the game, and then drive home that night.
We shall see.

Not saying this team has the talent to make the CFP, but it's not unrealistic either. That game at Iowa is a must win for that to happen, and there's a realistic chance they could be rolling Deacon Hill out for that which would make it an even bigger must win.

I’d assume fat boy is gonna be the 3rd option for them. I’m just hoping they don’t start Marco because he’s probably the most athletic qb they’ve had since Brad Banks.

Hadn't logged on to see the price increase yet. We have been on the fence the past couple years and decided to renew at the 11th hour. This is probably the year we finally drop out. Kids are making it more difficult to get to games and its getting expensive enough that its hard to stomach not going. Sucks because we have great seats from the early 2010's that we will probably never get back.

Guess I was just speaking for myself (non-donor section B), not sure if the donation-required seats changed at $650/per.
