Sadly I see ByU on our schedule. Can’t we have every other year off?
Unfortunately, byu-provo will be the only team that is on our schedule EVERY year.
The Big-12 established four protected rivalries that will be played every year. They are the Holy War, UA/ASU, KU/KSU and Baylor/TCU. The level of interest, both locally and nationally is too high to not make them annual events.
I am not going to begin to forecast how I think the season will go down. I learned my lesson last season when I sincerely thought this team was playoff bound. I do believe that we will see a turnaround, but that hinges on how well Dampier can adapt to P4 play, how well the new coordinators can implement their systems, and whether this team can finally avoid the injury bug.
Well with the way things go, I’m sure we’ll be in different conferences within a couple years.
Doesn’t mean we’ll be P2 or whatever. Just that nothing is stable in college sports and we’re in a terribly misfit conference situation right now.
