Kicking Off the Big 12 Season: A Unique Start in Dublin

The Big 12 season is just around the corner, and I’m writing this a bit earlier than usual this year. You might wonder why; the answer is simple: Dublin, Ireland!

Dublin, Ireland

Yes, you read that right! This year, the Big 12 is taking some college football to Dublin, marking a unique and exciting twist to the season. The game, set for August 23, 2025, will showcase Kansas State squaring off against Iowa State. Not every day you see a conference game before the preseason even starts!

This matchup will kick off the Big 12 season and set the stage for what we can expect from both teams moving forward. Having a conference game as the season’s first outing is a bit unconventional, but it will reveal a lot about each team’s potential. We’ll quickly discover who will be the top dog and who might be struggling initially.

Questions

As I look ahead to the season, I can’t help but ponder a few questions:?

Here are some questions I have for this upcoming season.

Who will ultimately rise to the top as the frontrunner in the conference?
How will this first game shape the season’s trajectory for Kansas State and Iowa State?
What can we expect from these teams throughout the year?
Will the savior of the conference be better?

And, on a more curious note, why isn’t the exciting Holy War being played as the season’s grand finale?

Interesting Year

I’m looking forward to an interesting year ahead. Each football season brings its surprises, and with the early kickoff in Dublin, I can’t help but feel that this one will be special. Let’s embrace the excitement and see what unfolds as we embark on another journey of college football! Go Big 12!
