Next year's schedule
- Thread starter josh777
- Start date
I figure 2-2 in non conference and maybe 3 to 4 wins in conference. Kansas and Colorado will be non existant next year. Other than that, who knows how good Tech, Nebraska, KSU and Missouri will be.
I expect KU to drop off BIG time next year. They lose almost all of their offensive weapons and I haven't heard much about their replacements being world beaters. And I don't know if their defense has ever been good.
Good thing games aren't play by "what's on paper" because if they were, we would have never beaten Iowa in 2005 when they were ranked 8th. My point being, Iowa is a rivalry game and even though it's in iowa city next year, it can still be considered a very winnable game. We also return a good core of starters, mainly AA and ARob.
I am calling 7 wins with a possible 8. Is the first game moved back to Saturday now or is it still Thursday. On the schedule it says Saturday but I was just wondering.
We still have a legit shot at 5 Big 12 north games. All 4 non con games. And Tech. thats 10 games we have a legit shot to win. Not complaining over here....
If we can hold on to WB and TH as coordinators for '10, '11, '12, 2012 could be our year cyclone fans. Like what kansas did in 2007. I think most of you believe that too
edit: 2012 ISU big 12 champs- just in time for the apacolypse

Speaking on North teams at the Jack, we could have a 2-year win streak over Nebraska after next year...........:yes:
I don't concede that the Big 10 is weak. Regardless, I was referring to the fact of Iowa winning 35-3 at JTS, having a lot of starters back on both sides of the ball and the game being at IC next year.
Like the optimisim but i think the 2013-2014 season is the key to actually competing for one, year 4 for Rhoads .

I'm hoping that 2012-2014 are the years CPR really turns this around. Rebuilding with our schedule the next two years will be difficult, but a good challenge. In another 2-3 years, he should really be hitting his stride with the coaching staff, system, and recruiting. I look forward to big things in a few years. If we can't get it done then, you have to wonder if we ever will...
Fun? The last several years haven't been fun and making the schedule as hard as it's ever been seems like we're moving the wrong way on the fun spectrum.
give him a break. some people think its fun to have your testicles stepped on.
Yeah both years have great potential, but I'd rather have Iowa and Okie state at home in 13-14 season. Either way if by any chance we can pull out a couple of years with 5+ wins i think we'll be in position to do some damage.
Can we recruit on the fact that the next two years you'll be learning a system and be primed in years three and four to take us to the next level?
