Interesting. No byes after October. No Texas vs Oklahoma State (which is almost reason enough for me to hope my Longhorns stay through 2024 and get a little revenge…). A little surprised Texas has KU, KSU, AND ISU. I thought we’d be playing 2 newbies each year, 2 “less traditional” Big 12 opponents each year, and the 5 most “traditional” Big 12 opponents both years (which felt like they’d be OU, TTU, Baylor, TCU, and Oklahoma State for Texas, and Texas, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Kansas State, and Iowa State for OU… and if they didn’t want to make OSU play both both years, then either WVU or Houston would be the sub-in for Texas). Did KSU just decide they had a better connection with Texas than OU? Is this all part of some hint that Texas and OU are gone in 2024?

Not that I expected the conference to do Texas or OU any favors, but Texas home slate doesn’t look like the most exciting. Obviously context might change that. We didn’t know TCU and KSU would be the top teams in conference until well after the season began last year. But based on last year, KSU would be the top team Texas played at home, and ironically, Texas beat them last year. Ending the season with a chance for revenge against Tech is good. And I guess maybe we’ll get a shot at actually beating BYU since we struggled with them in recent matchups. I imagine Houston will be revved up for their shot at hosting Texas.

Sorry, just random thoughts at first glance…
