I enjoyed Memphis and would go back but I would just love to try somewhere new. San Antonio is my #1
Bowl Game Projections

Memphis was ok. But the crappy weather and the loss put a damper on a lot of people's opinion of Memphis.
I look at it this way...Iowa State is going to a bowl game. I don't care where it is, I'm going try my best to make it there.
I think a lot of the Memphis hate has to do with the implications of getting selected for it. Means something probably went wrong in these next 2 weeks.
Tangerine Bowl is now the Citrus Bowl, played on New Year's Day. Camping World Bowl is a new bowl.
I have been to Houston multiple times since Harvey. You will see ZERO remnants from the hurricane unless you try to venture into isolated residential areas in the West/Southwest part of the city. Don't be afraid to go to Houston if we make the Texas Bowl.
I agree with this plus a prime time slot against a good SEC opponent...to the person who was scared of playing an SEC school, would you rather play a directional MAC team, have to challenge yourself at some point!
FYI, the Camping World Bowl is just the new name. The bowl has been around since the early 90's and was originally in Miami. Names that I know it has been previously are the Champs Sports Bowl and Russell Athletic Bowl.
When we went to the Houston Bowl against TCU, I found the Rice campustown area to be full of awesome, nice bars.
DSM to Memphis flights are under $300 right now. Very affordable.
DSM to San Antonio around $200 right now. Even better!
DSM to San Antonio around $200 right now. Even better!
And it was also called the Tangerine Bowl from 2001 to 2003. It's ran by the same people who run the Citrus Bowl (Florida Sports Citrus group), which was originally called the Tangerine Bowl. So while yes, it's technically the Camping World Bowl now, it was a one point called the Tangerine Bowl with its original name in 1990 being the Sunshine Classic and Blockbuster Bowl. I just choose to use the coolest names for bowls and not corporate bullshat.
Here's the 2002 and 2003 logo
That Florida Sports Citrus group is also the group that slobbers all over Iowa's traveling fan base and takes them any chance they can because there is nothing to do in this state in the winter. I would imagine the same love is coming our way.
Would love Alamo Bowl. Will likely require us winning out, OU winning out, and both TCU and OSU getting picked for NY6 games. I am guessing it is not likely all those games break our way.
If ISU wins out, I will be happy and show up anywhere. I do kind of like that Liberty Bowl is on a weekend, and if you did not go before, Beale Street is an absolute blast for partying/music, and ISU fans dominated. Not sure Orlando would have a similar gathering place.
And I like that gas from Dallas to Memphis or San Antonio is even cheaper.
I've thought about subscribing because the joint podcast Stew does with Bruce Feldman is a must listen every week.
Right. Confirmed my family and I are going regardless of where it will be.
San Antonio should be everyone's number one. Bowl game regular and Alamo bowl is a blast.
There is a paved runway in Iowa?????Hum,who would of thought.
Yeah, you've seen pictures.... when Coach Campbell touched down after departing Toledo.
