    2026 Big 12 Football Schedule Reveal

    The nice thing is that it doesn't matter. Arizona State was picked last two years ago and won the conference. BYU was not highly regarded in August and went 11-2 with two losses to the NIL machine.

    2026 Big 12 Football Schedule Reveal

    This year more than any other year, the floor is 0 and the ceiling is 16. We know nothing about the guys on the team yet! Having said that, the early schedule could be tough. All it would take is for WVU to be good/us to stumble there, and we're looking at a real chance of being 2-5 heading...

    2026 Big 12 Football Schedule Reveal

    No back to back road games (other than with a bye in between) Bye is exactly in the middle of the season The three warm-weather road games are on Oct. 24 or later Other than jumping right into it with Utah as the first conference game, this is pretty much as good as it could have been.

    2026 Big 12 Football Schedule Reveal

    A Thursday road game after a bye week is perfect, at least as long as I don't plan to attend. Let's play Baylor on an October Thursday in Waco on big ESPN.

    Correct, but 2026 will be the first time since 1931 that Iowa State doesn’t play Kansas. Ending a 94-year consecutive streak of ISU-KU games.

    It's under contract through 2027, so two more still.

    Blum talked about this too and suggested the moneyball approach was not to go into bidding wars early for positions that end up with a glut of guys remaining at the end (like RB). The longer you stay in the portal, the more your price drops. The early bidding wars are best fought over the...

    The portal "closing" is just when guys can no longer enter it. But everyone who enters before the closing can wait as long as August to officially transfer. I imagine we will want to grab guys early enough to enroll for the spring semester, but I think that technically could be a couple more...

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build in Indiana?

    And it's for emotional reasons only, not economic ones. It's basically impossible for me to locate a serious economics take that conflicts with the consensus: subsidies are a giveaway to billionaires. Even when you account for business spillover effects...

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build in Indiana?

    This is also my opinion about all of these stadiums. Time and again, economic studies prove that subsidies for professional sports stadiums are net losers for the taxpayers. We should have a federal law banning tax subsidies for NFL/MLB/NBA/NHL at minimum to prevent these races to the bottom...

    K-State got the Oregon RB shortly after so I assume they knew they had him waiting but wanted Pettaway more.

    Who were the main competitors for landing Pettaway in the portal?

    No employer wants their employees’ compensation data to be publicly known.

    Seeing as we know UCF and USF (and potentially others) wanted Raynor he is not coming to Ames for a Hickory Park gift card. Quarterbacks are expensive.

    I totally believe it. The Athletic had a good report about how much each position group is getting in NIL this cycle. On quarterbacks: I suspect Raynor is one of those upper six figure guys.

    Loyal Sons Forever True is an objectively funny message from a kid who committed to Nevada, flipped to New Mexico State (after Nevada’s coach left to be fair), enrolled there for one year, transferred to Wazzu, played there for one year, and is now on his third college. Not dogging this kid...

    Who is left from Wazzu that we may be interested in? I thought they had a good DE (Terrell) who’s still in the portal uncommitted. Anyone else?
