This year’s Countdown to Kickoff series is brought to you by a diehard Cyclone and the best travel agent you can find – Becah Fliehs and Love to Travel. At no cost to you, let Becah book your next family vacation today. 

We are one day away from the unofficial start to the 2017 Iowa State football season. That’s when the annual Big 12 media day event will will take place – this time in Fisco, Texas at the home of the Dallas Cowboys.

Representing the Cyclones this year will be: Allen Lazard, Joel Lanning, Jake Campos and Brian Peavy. Of course, head coach Matt Campbell will make the trip too.

The schedule for the two-day event looks like this:

Monday: Iowa State, Kansas, Texas Tech, TCU and Oklahoma.

Tuesday: Texas, Baylor, West Virginia, Kansas State and Oklahoma State.

TV: Fans back in Iowa can watch the event on the Longhorn Network, FOX Sports Southwest and also FS2.

Courtesy of the Iowa Clinic Men’s Center, Cyclone Fanatic will be on the scene with local coverage as well.
