ISU Bowl Projection

[JM4CY]

OU? With this team? Absolutely not, please.

I hear you. But I honestly also feel like, **** it. Let it ride. Go down swinging and OU might be checked out anyway.

Oklahoma sucks- and has the dumbest coach in the sport. Sign up for that one

 

[Erik4Cy]

I think someone at Google hates ISU, maybe we're not bowling after all?

OU's good players probably won't play.

ISU Bowl Projection: 100% chance of @Rogue52 being in attendance, drinking beer, and celebrating a Cyclone football season with wins over KSU In Dublin, easy piesey win over Hawkeyes, and a second string defensive win over TCU.

 

[simply1]

Oh no, forced to go to Ireland and a warm destination in December for foosball.

 

[shadow]

We'll probably go to any bowl other than Memphis.

 

[cyphoon]

Even if our bowl destination sucks, ISU would only decline if they are so decimated by injuries that they can't safely field a team.

CBS’s writer has ISU in Phoenix for the “Rate Bowl” against Minnesota.

That sounds pretty good.

Jack Trice revenge game, in a warm location plus a chance to beat that douche canoe PJ Fleck? It’s better than Memphis at this point.

If I recall correctly Coach Campbell was already announced as the ISU coach when he lost to Coach Row-Your-Boat in the MAC title game.

Regardless, a chance for revenge there too.

I think you’re right, but every day I’m grateful that Pollard hired CMC over Fleck. CMC is a great representative of the university, the players like playing for him and he runs a clean program. Between Fleck being an arrogant **** and the whole Fleckbucks story, ISU dodged a huge bullet not hiring him.

Technically, ISU currently has scoreboard winning the 2009 Insight Bowl over the Gophers (14-13). However, another Trophy for beating the Gophers 'twould be good too!

Someone at Google went to Iowa…

Didn’t graduate, but attended a class 100: Intro to chewing gum and walking at the same time.

 

[awd4cy]

This Week:

Bonagura has ISU vs. Kentucky @ Liberty

Schlabach has ISU vs. Oklahoma @ Houston

We’re not allowed to play an SEC in the Liberty

I've always wanted to end up in the holiday bowl

So, Alamo Bowl against Arizona State . . . .
I know, we are probably a couple of rungs down the ladder

Toledo didn’t make the MAC title game, which was a good thing because Matt said he wouldn’t have interviewed anywhere had he had that championship to be preparing for.
