No Bowl Game — Iowa State Turns Down Bowl Bid

[awd4cy]

Are they mad he's gone or are they mad that they have to start over? There's a difference and I haven't seen many actually mad about him specifically.

Why would they be mad about staring over if they saw no future with Rogers? Starting over in college football is a lot easier than it was 30 years ago

It sounds like, a potential reason for the player's opt out vote, it stems from a mass exodus of players. Pure speculation and I hope I am off in the weeds.

The players leaving and coaches leaving should not have had a vote or been in the room. If those 8 that are said to be leaving were in there along with the coaches, they are the general leaders and could easily have pushed the decision to help themselves

It was going to be difficult to participate in a Bowl game better than this anyway...

C'mon, you have to admit it...

Hot take: Chizik would've had us in a bowl game in 2009 and had some further success. No way he would've stuck around long though.

That 2009 schedule was cake. I agree Chiz would have found 6 wins. We also might have had Malzhan at OC

No one is saying they were good. Many of us are just saying, what is done is done. Now let’s see what we can do to have this be a good as possible.

Think of this as your house burning down. Campbell is your house, the fire is JP or whatever caused Campbell to leave. Rogers is your new house. You aren’t going to stand in the cold and B non stop about the fire and stare at the rubble. You are going to focus on your new house to get it the best you can. You may also try to see what you can do about making sure your house doesn’t burn down again. If you think not donating anymore helps to do that, you also believe that ripping the fire alarms out of your house makes it safer for you.

Or you could just live in a van.

Because starting over clearly sucks.

But....I'm glad we are getting such a desirable coach.

Nobody wanted Matt Campbell. Nobody wanted T.J. Nobody wanted Dan McCarney. Nobody wanted Fred Hoiberg. As a matter of fact, the only coach that was a hot name in the media that people “wanted,” was Gene Chizik. I’ve said this many times over the last couple days, but please shut the **** up.

Hey now.

I’m on record about being excited by McDermott and not just Chizik.

Which is why my optimism about Rogers is troubling.

Down by the river?

The way we won was my 2nd favorite moment after the Fiesta bowl.

Again, I blame "hot seat guy" for all of this.

 

[bawbie]

Totally disagree. A lot of college FB coaches have taken new jobs after the regular season and their teams have played in bowl games.

The system is broke. As a fan, not sure why I should be vested in such a colossal mess that is CFB.

How many with new coaches will play this year? I bet its very few in the end.

 

[URBCLONE]

I am not seeing the high character from our players that we were told were a part of our culture. Honoring their commitments. Perhaps there were some reasons for our 4 game skid and inexcusable loss to Colorado. We were 5-4 after starting 5-0. Mouser and Rocco were stinking up things. IMO a Mouser hire would not be good.

Yeah, well their coach didn’t honor a contract he just signed a year ago. We were all sold a load of bull by everyone in the program including the AD.

Will Washington State play in a bowl?

That always seems to be a thing lower level G6 teams do.

I’m sure everyone on the team has all the power 4 staffs in the nation hitting up their family and agents and circling the program like vultures.

Campbell will take first dibs to grab who he wants and the rest will try to gut the last bit of meat on our bones.

Thats just the nature of modern college football. Just like NFL draft no one wants to play and get Injured and tank their stock. Players want to focus on the portal not the liberty bowl.

Will Washington State play in a bowl?

Will Penn State?

 

[CycloneBamaFan]

If the players said they didn't want (or wouldn't) to play what is he suppose to do about it? Campbell is the one who decided to leave not Jamie forcing him out.

I agree. Can't blame Pollard, but he will take heat. Bad all around. Wow!

 

[alexssdean12]

Will Penn State?

This may be the season that conference championships and bowls die

Missouri wanted to hire CMC

 

[CycloneBamaFan]

They should be happy they had a new coach and weren't sitting in limbo wondering for a few weeks.

Agree. Iowa State dragging out a coaching search would be terrible.

Fining a program what amounts to 2.5-5% of its NIL budget for essentially being picked over by richer programs seems counterproductive.
