*** Official IOWA STATE vs Memphis Liberty Bowl Game(Day) Thread ***

That sounds like more of a defense issue.

Forget it he’s rolling.

 

[atlantacyclone]

Well, we know who has the better line now … or I guess we knew from the first drive ..

 

[LAClone]

With the now P2, we are basically at the same level or even lower than teams like Memphis/Tulane/Liberty etc

The Big 10/SEC are going to use this game as Exhibit A for why there is now a P2.

 

[ISUTex]

Hey Cambell that's how you convert a 4th and 1.

 

[CY88CE11]

Some extremely obvious penalties they're refusing to call here.

 

[jaj040]

Anyone want to pitch in to buy this for coach?

 

[isucyfan]

If we end up losing, the game is a meaningless exhibition.

If we win, it's a huge springboard into next season.

Choose your adventure.

For those getting hot and bothered...my attempt at humor upthread.

 

[HouClone]

Memphis is going to finish this game with having the ball nearly the whole 4th quarter.

 

[Cyhig]

If the players don't hate losing more than they enjoy winning then they shouldn't play the game. If playing to win doesn't matter then we shouldn't except a bowl invitation that way they can go home for Christmas to see momma.

Sure. But fans aren’t players, are they?

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

You guys are so dramatic, we finished 4th in the Big 12 in a season we were projected to finish near last and then we lost a bowl game that doesn't matter.

No other fanbase in the country would call a 4th place finish a good season. You’re making my point for me

 

[CYDJ]

Well. That's game. It was over a while back. But that is official now.

 

[LAClone]

You guys are so dramatic, we finished 4th in the Big 12 in a season we were projected to finish near last and then we lost a bowl game that doesn't matter.

We lost to two G5 teams in the same season.

 

[Old87]

Ironic that the OLine seals the deal for Memphis

 

[psycln11]

Even Temple rushed for 135 yds against Memphis.

 

[cyfanbr]

You guys are so dramatic, we finished 4th in the Big 12 in a season we were projected to finish near last and then we lost a bowl game that doesn't matter.

It’s not that we lost is the how we lost. Also let’s be honest, as much as I love our conference this was a very down year.

 

[ISpyCy]

.....but have the players become better versions of themselves? That's the true question.

 

[Darius Bieber]

Let not forget:

Memphis had 3 brand new olinemen as their best entered the portal

They have their linebackers coach as DC today

 

[atlantacyclone]

You can’t really fire Heacock … but damn he should pay his salary back…

 

[jctisu]

The Big 10/SEC are going to use this game as Exhibit A for why there is now a P2.

And then we will point to Texas A&M losing to Okie State. Or TCU beating mighty Michigan in the CFP last year. Or Arizona beating SEC-bound OU last night.

 

[KidSilverhair]

Let em score! Get the ball back! Who cares if we’ll be down 17 that point, let em score and save the clock! /s
