ISU Bowl Projection

[drmwevr08]

Oh if we do end up playing on Dec. 26 in Phoenix I have little doubt that there won't be many Cyclone fans there. Maybe just the ones that are already live there or because they go down there for the Winter.

Maybe I'd wander over and try to pick up a cheap cheap ticket.

My guess is you would be able to do just that.

We won't even make the Liberty Bowl at this rate. We'll be in the Vagisil Toilet Bowl the way this team is playing right now.

This is a joke that my 70 year old mom who knows nothing about football says consistently.

I hear that Shreveport is a lovely place to visit at the end of December.

Every year that comes, the bowl games become more and more of a farce. Yes, I like tailgates, yes I like football, and yes I like doing them both in different destinations.

But damnit, I want to be overly excited about it. 7-5 ISU in phoenix vs Maryland. There's just not much excitement for that one, its akin to a home game vs. Arkansas state. Then you consider the time and effort$ required...

Think of the excitement a 6-6 ISU team would draw

Went to Shreveport when ISU beat Miami of Ohio. Wasn’t bad weather (not warm by any means, but not Memphis snow either) and not a lot to do in the area.

The Boys at ESPN have Iowa State vs. Auburn in the Liberty Bowl or vs. Minnesota in Phoenix this week.

Does the SEC actually ever play in that game other than 1 in 5 years?

In previous 10 seasons, SEC had a rep five times:
Arkansas (3)
Georgia
Mississippi State
Missouri

On one hand the 12 team playoff makes that event better instantly, it also makes bowls seem absolutely meaningless and pointless. Absolutely nobody other than fans of the schools in these games even watch and half of them don't care. Bowl games are like the NIT now. Cut the schedule down a game and have a 4 team Big 12 playoff or something. It'll keep the fanbases interested.

People still watch the bowl games...

We should be a 3 seed in the CFPNIT for sure.

Ratings sure disagree with this

Ratings sure disagree with this

2 bowl games outdrew one of the playoff games and 3rd got dang close. 17 total non playoff bowl games had over 2 million viewers.

Would love to play an SEC team.
