New Schedule - Season Prediction Time!!!
- Thread starter Thomasrickj
- Start date
I'm still trying to decide between the season ticket seat for my couch or the overstuffed chair.
Most KU fans that go to road games do so because they want to experience the road atmosphere or the location is closer to them than Lawrence. Plenty of KU fans in DSM. It's a long haul from DSM area to Lawrence, easier to just see them play when they come to ISU.
We are going to be good. Compared to last year's team we will be better, but last years team had a lot of come from behind victories. I hope this bunch has just as much fight in them, which I think they will with Naz and Niang leading the crew - but a lot of our games last year were very losable. Hopefully we run away with a lot more games this year, our non-con schedule is WAY easier, which will hurt us in the rankings for a while and could come back to bite us in the tourney seeding. However, I think we split the Big12 regular season championship with Texas, and win the Big12 tourney again, and make the Final Four.
Yeah, if you're patient and wait until game day, you can usually get a good price on tickets on the secondary market. You pay more when you buy them early. We sold our ISU @KU to some desperate KU fans tickets for a nice chunk of change last year because none of us could go.
Someday would love to see isu vs ku at Allen Fieldhouse. Our tailgate group does enjoy coming to Lawrence for football and going to the game. Your downtown is fun and nice much like ours.
I haven't seen a game @Hilton but hope to some day. College Gameday may put it out of my acceptable price range this year. If I am going to cash out for a road trip then I'm going skiing instead and watching the games I have already paid for. Some day, hopefully.
Good deal, hope it was a fun experience. Let me know if you go for the game this season and I'll buy you a beer before hand. I don't normally go to Monday games but I am going to take the day off of work and beg the in-laws to watch the kdis that night so I can go down.

I like our schedule
This is a solid non conference schedule. We play 5 games against BCS conference opponents, with 4 being on the road or neutral court. Sure it would be nice to have a marquis game, but our schedule should prep us for the Big 12.
The Iowa game will be tough- playing a Big10 team on the road is a good challenge. They return some decent players in Gesell, Jok, Ogelsby, White, Uthoff and Woodbury. They might not have the depth of last year- but each of those guys can be a double digit scorer. They won't be flashy, but if they play hard and physical they should be an NCAA Tournament team. The later is a big IF.

You're saying they're a tournament quality team when they BARELY made the field of 68 and lost their top scorer?

The schedule might prepare us for the bottom feeders in conference play, but there isn't anything on there prepping us for the top level teams at all.
