It may be a new conference, but the Big XII just got tougher for the remaining teams from what was once known as the Big XII North.
My team, Iowa State released their 2011 schedule today and with 9 conference games now it is tough. At least we don't have to play Oklahoma and Texas on the road every other year.
Texas is played early on, and Oklahoma is played in November. Maybe we can have some nice cold and windy November weather to welcome the Sooners to Ames. It has also been known to snow that time of the year.
I for one am looking forward to the new Big XII, if that is what they are going to continue to call it.
Here's the schedule:
Sept. 3 - Northern Iowa
Sept. 10 – Iowa
Sept. 17 -@ UCONN
Oct. 1 - Texas
Oct. 8 - @ Baylor
Oct. 15 – @ Missouri
Oct. 22 - Texas A&M (Homecoming)
Oct. 29 - @ Texas Tech
Nov. 5 – Kansas
Nov. 12 - @ Oklahoma
Nov. 19 – Oklahoma State
Nov. 26 - @ Kansas State
