Correct, 6 listed. Though I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I reconize the purple kitties as one of the top 5 teams of the Big 12 next year...

Who else is ready for the constant replays of the bad calls from last year's game against KU both leading up to and during the Big Monday game? God, it is going to be frustrating. Instead of focusing on Fred's success in rebuilding the program, it's gunna be about tue screwjob last year.
We only had one that season at home against Texas. Since I have been a student in 2002-2003, I only remember ISU being on 2 Big Monday games...2006 against Texas, and last season.
Not to be a Debbie downer, but it does make sense that ISU would get more games than a few years ago. We lost 4 teams, two of which (Mizzou and A&M) have a recent history of decent teams, and replaced them with a good program that's currently down and an abysmal basketball school. A decent Big 12 school should have picked up more Big Monday games by default.

You went too far here. Texas not only failed to gain more Big Monday games, but fell off the schedule altogether.
It's a good sign of progress for the program. Roll with it.
Yea, but even if they only used it as an excuse to add more KU and Texas games, they still have to play another team in those games (As much as I'm sure ESPN dreams of a future where KU plays clone-KU)
Which also means our entire schedule should be announced tomorrow, since the last 3 years Iowa State released their schedule the same day the Big 12 released theirs.
The times/tv for the entire schedule usually isn't announced until the second week in September.

Yet it will more than likely be our 4th overall Big 12 game. Probably our 2nd Big 12 home game.
So we for sure have 5 Monday games already:
Mon Nov 25th vs UMKC
Mon Dec 2nd vs Auburn (students first day back after Thanksgiving break)
Mon Dec 23rd (Diamond Head Classic @ Honolulu, HI)-Oregon St/Akron 3:30/1:30 ESPNU
Mon Jan 13th vs Kansas on ESPN at 8 (students first day back after Christmas Break/first Big 12 game for most students)
Mon Feb 3rd at Oklahoma St on ESPN at 8
Mon Nov 25th vs UMKC
