I hope there are six wins on the schedule.

Ugh, Boston College. How about we schedule Boston Community College.

Hey, you are supposed to play 1 P5 school every year under new Big XII scheduling guidelines. I guess BC is about as good a matchup as KU could hope for at this time.

Hmm, didn't know that was a rule. I'd rather take my chances with Rutgers again but we could do worse than BC. They are usually a good team but not a great team. Hopefully we can catch them in a down year.

What is the reason for the two "bye" dates?

Friday the 13th is certainly appropriate for Les Miles first road game.
Boston baked beans fuel the pre game meal? Yes!

Well, we almost play a December game again!
Maybe Les will get us back there in a couple years!
