What a drama queen. Since when does ISU have the stature of telling bowl games off?
Winnable bowl within driving range of most Cyclones fans is better than Orlando where we would be a two TD underdog.
Hi we dont want to play your non power 5 home team with its home cookin refs we already got screwed in the little apple - sincerely iowa state
Isn't it a little early to be hitting the bottle?
This is a new one... ******** about bowl game referees before even knowing bowl assignment.
As long as they're not Big IIXII refs, we stand a chance!
Mandel has us in Orlando. He still has TCU in a NY6 Bowl. Think that's the biggest key on where we end up.

who is brian davis? serious question.
i don't do the twitters.
edit. nevermind. had no idea you could just click on his face. and figure that out.
I think they should drag this out to the week before Christmas to announce bowl pairings. I do think bowl attendance is hurt by not having this settled by Thanksgiving weekend. This is all so weird.
ND-ISU in Orlando would be awesome
we went last time and except for the outcome of the game really enjoyed it. I don't know if we'd go again, but I wouldn't be opposed to it. Plus, you'd likely have a better atmosphere than with a different G5 team. I'd rather play a different P5 team like NCSU, but Memphis wouldn't be a bad draw
For everyone who does not mind us going to the Liberty Bowl to play Memphis, recall the last time this happened. We played Boise State in Boise and the outcome was not good. It was a home game for Boise just like the Liberty Bowl would be a home game for Memphis.
Just got off the phone with a stranger who told me don't count us out of the playoffs. Something about how the committee is tired of Bama and Ohio State's **** and wants a team that'll go in there and **** **** up.
Two differences:
1. Not many Iowa State fans went to Boise. Lots could go to Memphis.
2. Different coach, different attitude.

Yep, and everyone knows that 15 year old bowl game results are the best indicator for future games. Surprised that they are even going to play the game since it's such a forgone conclusion.
The point is that ISU doesn't get to bowl games often enough for this fan base to be acting so entitled. I will be happy to get any bowl we can get and do my best to get to them. Memphis happens to make that the easiest for me, so the prospect of the liberty bowl is a great one. So is Orlando though. And so is Houston. I'm going to be happy wherever we end up.
I don't want us going to the Liberty Bowl if we play Memphis, but it would be MUCH better than the Heart of Dallas Bowl against North Texas, that's for sure.
