New schedule with no divisions is about to be released

[HughJanus]

Cockeye, WiscyDicks, Minnesota probably

Cockeye, WiscyDicks, Minnesota probably

I think UCLAbia in the future. We have no true DNA in the Big 10.

 

[Carm]

Cockeye, WiscyDicks, Minnesota probably

are we sure we get 3 protected rivals?

We've played Minnesota 63 times - way more than any other B1G team. Cockeye is second at 43 (these are our 7th & 8th longest series overall)

 

[Husker_in_OK]

I'd be fine with Cockeye and that's it ..

 

[Pepe Silvia]

I'll be really disappointed if we don't get one of the CA schools as an annual game, but fully expect the Big 10 to fuck us on the schedule yet again

 

[deltau46]

I’m sure Ohio State, Michigan, and PSU will have Buttgers and Maryland as protected, whilst Nebraska will have OSU, Mich, PSU, and USC as protected.

 

[Kaladin]

Frank thinks either UCLAbia/Cockeye/Minnesota

Or UCLAbia/USC/Cockeyes

I would take the latter

[MtnHusker]

I'd be happy with UCLAbia & Cockeye with either Wisc or Minn as the other game. Doubt they would give us a ptsey on the east coast like Buttgers, but that would be good for recruiting. Same reason I want UCLAbia. Hoping we aren't stuck with Ohio St, Mich and/or USC as they I think will be near the top 10 teams every year. Watch Cockeye get us, Northwestern & Buttgers. You know either Cockeye or WiscyDicks will get a cup cake protected schedule

 

[Mavsker]

Apparently all schools won't necessarily have the same number of protected rivalries. Feel like they should just give everyone three so you can do 3-6-6.

Why on earth would you take the more difficult grouping?

 

[Kaladin]

Why on earth would you take the more difficult grouping?

So that we can fly out to LA once per year

Also I hate playing Minnesota. They’re just boring and they don’t interest me

USC is an exciting matchup

I hate everything about Minnesota but I'd prefer we end up with them. You know the b1g is gonna fuck us in the ass with the rest of the schedule every single year so make the 'protected' games as easy as possible.

 

[Jack Bauer]

I’d be good with Cockeye, UCLAbia, and WiscyDicks

 

[Natural9]

Sounds like they are going with a flex protection system. Teams will have 1, 2, or 3 protected rivals. I’d be fine with just Cockeye. No desire to play MN and/or Wisky annually.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Different numbers of protected rivals is so dumb

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Different numbers of protected rivals is so dumb

It's Leaders/Legends level dumb

 

[Baron Winnebago]

It's Leaders/Legends level dumb

Yeah. Make schools pick 1. Then rotate the other 8 conference games

I'm right there with you.

Minnesota
Illinois
Indianus
Buttgers
Northwestern

Would like to see as little of them as possible.
