When does 2023 Conference Schedule come out?

[RustShack]

do we have a running back next year?

Edit: a good running back

2-3.

I know, we don't like KState, but this is perfection.

Is it about our love of the bridge? So inside. Kudos if so.

Twister is the obvious and from final days of vhs era.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Got the strongest 2 of the new additions on the road and no Tech or WVU. Tough schedule

Only one game in October, which is prime tailgating season. Might have to make the trip to one of the Ohio games.

Ohio U is fairly remote. Fly into Columbus and drive 1.25 hours to Athens, where you will constantly be reminded that it’s Joe Burrows’ hometown. You go from flat to Appalachia fairly quickly.

Cincinnati’s Nippert only seats 38,000, but will cram 40k in if they have to. Nippert has its flaws but it’s a great place to watch a football game. There is no surface parking around the stadium because academic buildings completely surround it. The student union’s back door is 30 feet from the stadium.

UC football has a lot of unknowns this year, so many of us are setting the bar low. Despite that, the ISU game *should* be a tough ticket. It will be nice to have teams that travel well. Even Indiana this past season was a bust - and the area has a ton of IU grads.

Don’t those Ohio people know Joe Burrow was born in Mary Greeley Medical Center and spent his early childhood years in Ames?

Thanks for the info. I’m thinking of going to Cincinnati to see the game and then a side trip to Dayton to enjoy the USAF museum.

You could also visit the Jack Trice gravesite

How in the hell did they come up with this schedule? Just drawing out of a hat would have been better than this.

Sadly, Joe’s parents still live in Athens so the town calls all of them their own.

Yeah, I work “next door” to the museum. I really need to make it back.

It has happened in Big 12, but uncertain how often & how recently without doing extended research.

Most-recent occurrence for Iowa State was 1997 - opened vs. Oklahoma State

I was at that game. Big bummer of a season opening loss!

 

[AlaCyclone]

10/21 in Houston

Excellennnnt

And hoping for really awful November weather in Ames

Like Texas Tech last year?

Personally, I hope we have a nice sunny afternoon game!

 

[AlaCyclone]

Blows to only get 4 home games in conf but I agree. Two road trips to the newbies isn't fun but gotta start somewhere with those two. The cincy matchup could get spicy af.

I'm looking forward to @ Cincinnati!

Endora from Bewitched is also buried in Dayton.

 

[CyNews]

Tough schedule and a lot of miles. Go Cyclones!

 

[t-noah]

If nothing else, I like that all the remaining/"non-traitor" Big 8 schools play each other in the inaugural season.

There is that. Good point and not insignificant.

So EMAW does have a sense of humor.

That was quite,,,something. But I liked it.

Seriously. We have been waiting months for this mish-mash?

I was curious how the relative schedules ranked based on the 2022 final Sagarin rankings. I averaged the 2022 Sagarin ranking for each team on a school's schedule. This is how the schedules stacked up. (The average ranking for all of the current teams from 2022 was 36.7. The range of possibilities would have been 25.2 to 49.3)

1​	Houston	30.1​
2​	ISU	31.1​
3​	BYU	32.7​
4​	TCU	33.8​
5​	KU	34.3​
6​	Bay	34.4​
7​	TEX	34.7​
8​	KSU	36.1​
9​	UCF	37.4​
10​	TT	38.0​
11​	WV	38.7​
12​	OU	41.1​
13​	OSU	45.3​
14​	CIN	46.2​

It is interesting that OSU has the bottom 7 teams from the 2022 season. ISU and Houston play 6 of the top 7.
