You're making my right eye twitch...
It's not just the youth. It's maybe the most common misspelling I see from people of all ages

Take away the horrible start to Cincinnati and we probably don't lose that one or the Colorado game. Momentum is a *****
Ill watch, maybe from a bar but if we are playing Memphis again. I have no real interest in it other than I hope we win. I want to play a G4 team

Blum said last night if it comes down to Liberty and Rate, Iowa State would prefer to “drop down” to the Rate. I’m inferring that they’re being open about that behind the scenes. Of course, it’s still up to the bowl boards. Could Iowa State get a better invite than either of those, I suppose, but I don’t see it happening.
As an aside, while bowl projections are all guesses, I think the fact that no outlet or reporter has Iowa State playing Nebraska does mean it’s unlikely. Apparently I’m in the minority here but I wouldn’t want to anyway

If the Liberty Bowl didn't learn from their mistake the last time they chose us, when literally no one went, then I'm not sure if they have brains. If they choose Iowa State again, the only people going will be the team, band, and spirit squads.
Until we know how many Big 12 teams are in the CFP, it's REALLY hard to forecast all of this!
Reviving old rivalries that died at the hands of conference realignment would be wise for the non-CFP bowls. Great way to drum up engagement from both fanbases
We played in bowl games in the 1970s.
Wonder anymore how much weight they put on the teams fans showing up vs. what type of TV draw/rating will that team bring? Feels like for these bowl games the tv rating is getting more and more important.
Depends on the Bowl.
As a host city, the bowls that Iowa State has been to recently….
Orlando
San Antonio
Memphis
All really take pride in their bowls and put on a great show for the fans.
Phoenix is kinda ho hum.
well if they truly factored that in, then Memphis would not have been picked to play us two years ago....an SEC fan base is always going to outdraw Memphis when ratings are considered
The only bowl game I would not watch would be ISU vs. Memphis in the Liberty Bowl. Frankly, there should be a ban against teams playing in their home stadium for a bowl game.
Not sure how much weight what Iowa State wants matters.
If BYU makes the playoff its more likely we play in Memphis
