Conference game so early.....not sure I like that. Very SEC like.

 

[bawbie]

In summary:

The Iowa State-Kansas State game at Jack Trice Stadium, originally scheduled for Oct. 11, will move to Sept. 6 and the Iowa State-Toledo game in Ames, previously scheduled for Sept. 20, has been moved to Oct. 11.

All that "Farmaeddon" marketing they have done at WRNL is paying off!

 

[kilroy]

???? hmm wonder what toledo had going on?

 

[CyFan61]

Farmageddon (a semi-rivalry) + Early in the season = Finally going to try the color striping by section at JTS

 

[Die4Cy]

It'll be nice to break up our murderous Big 12 schedule with a visit from a MAC team.

 

[SoapyCy]

would love to have Iowa during rivalry weekend.

Conference game so early.....not sure I like that. Very SEC like.

We just traded a home game in October for a home game in early September. After this season's awful schedule, that sounds amazing.

 

[CP44]

Like it. No real early bye now and an almost guaranteed win in middle of the season.

I really don't want to play K-State that early.

shhhh.....

quiet you!

 

[Cycsk]

Are we sure that we won't have to play Toledo on a Tuesday (as the MAC is fond of doing)?

 

[CyFan61]

K-State needed this trade, it looks like. Here's their pre-trade schedule:

 

[Cycsk]

I really don't want to play K-State that early.

Doesn't K-State usually get better as the season goes on (because they bring in so many JUCOs each season)? This could be a blessing in disguise.

Re: your schedule change helps cats ...

No problem, we're happy to help out the village idiots who scheduled two bye weeks in a row.

Re: your schedule change helps cats ...

I don't see how it helps the Cats. Maybe if you posted KSU's schedule rather than ISU's it would help us to understand.

Might be a good time to play them. They are usually more beatable early in the year.
