If you're upset with my opinion that Iowa State has an easy schedule, especially now that BYU's QB is out, I'm not sure what to tell you. Maybe provide some evidence to the contrary.
FYI Hok trolls trolling ISU tend to be put in a time out for not being able to hold themselves back from purposely toxifying non-ISR forums.
I know that. I was banned before for not being an Iowa State fan.
I'm here because I actually like your fan base and have mad respect for your coach.
If that gets me banned again. So be it.
I think KSU, ASU, and at TCU are the toughest 3 right now. All have returning QBs, and were good to some level last year.
ASU has a lot of returning production in addition to Leavitt. Glad they are in Ames, but still will be a tough game. Maybe it will be cold and/or Leavitt will be dinged up by then.
KSU will really want revenge after 2 losses in a row, and Johnson will be as healthy as he will be all year. Hopefully he will still be in WTF mode every 7th play.
TCU is on the road and Hoover is back. Similar to ASU, but less returning production and not as good last year. That's a late season game, right after 2 home games with BYU and ASU. Tough spot.
OL and special teams critical this year- they won all the close games last year. Have to duplicate that feat or could end up 6 or 7 wins.

Cyclone fan here, I think you are being a little sensitive to a comment about the schedule. He hasn’t done or said anything bad.
I don't think it's sensitive to let Hok trolls know that trolling is for the ISR forums.
That's not why you were banned. There's a place here for you and your Haydenism--start any thread you want in the ISR.
Interesting Travel Numbers
So with our trip to Ireland I wondered how this affects our total travel (along with the road trip to Jonesboro). Then I compared to to UCF's travel for an extreme example.
ISU
total mileage w/ Dublin: 7,162
avg mileage w/ Dublin: 1,193
total w/o Dublin: 3,213
Avg w/o Dublin: 643
Big 12 only total: 2,648
Big 12 only Avg: 662
UCF (5 road games, all conf games)
Total mileage: 7,147
Avg mileage: 1,429
*rounded to nearest mile

I think it's funny how back when I was in school we def played the Iowa game like it was our Superbowl. And it def seems like that has flipflopped to Iowa now yet their educated fanbase still believes otherwise.
