No B12/Big East challenge. Maybe a home and home with a former coach a few miles to our west?

 

[Big_Sill]

I'd like that but, I highly doubt Freddy would do it. Oh guess I'm assuming you mean Freddy but, I guess it could be MAC too?

I was assuming MAC. I have little interest in a Nebraska game, but would love a series with CU.

 

[CycloneErik]

Probably just slow rolling before we announce Duke, Kentucky, Gonzaga, Marquette, Auburn, and Golden State.

Never too early I guess...

Iowa State will host:

Fairleigh Dickinson on November 3rd
Stonehill on November 17th

$125k to FDU
$115k to Stonehill

I predict the second game for Nov. 10th. Otz is all about habits and routine and he loves the Monday night games.

 

[JP4CY]

Really want to go to Vegas.

 

[1UNI2ISU]

The December 29th non-con game tells me that the league is going to stick a league game or two into early December.

Good move when you're playing 20. Makes the calendar make a lot more sense.

 

[JM4CY]

Really want to go to Vegas.

Haven’t you had enough hookers and blow?

 

[CrossCyed]

Seems like the formula has been six low majors per season.

 

[Sigmapolis]

Is the B12 staying with 20 conference games?

 

[bsaltyman]

Seems like the formula has been six low majors per season.

I would bet that at least one of the other low major teams is from the SWAC. It seems like every year we have at least one. Mississippi Valley State, Grambling, Prairie View A&M, etc.

 

[Acer88]

I personally would like for the Cyclones to play someone with a pulse in Sioux Falls sometime the next couple of seasons .

 

[cyclones500]

Via @danvillecyclone in the Purdue thread, date for at Purdue is Dec. 6.

So, what we know so far (I think):

Nov. 3 Fairleigh Dickinson
Nov. 17 Stonehill
Nov. 24-30(?) Players Era Festival
Dec. 6 at Purdue
Dec. 11* Iowa
Dec. 29 Houston Christian
* Making assumption for CyHawk date

I was assuming MAC. I have little interest in a Nebraska game, but would love a series with CU.

Oh. My first thought was Creighton. Did not think Nebraska until it was mentioned.

 

[heitclone]

Didn't we hear that the Creighton and ISU coaches didn't enjoy playing each other?

 

[CyValley2]

Haven’t you had enough hookers and blow?

I haven't had either, are they really worth it?

Mississippi State, Purdue, Iowa, 3 games at Players Era. That’s a good slate. Would be cool if we got one more major conference opponent at a neutral site or to come to Hilton, but I wouldn’t be shocked if those are our 6 good non-conference matchups and then we’ll have 7 lower level buy games.
