good game, y'all!

Today's game was an absolute blast and I met some great ISU fans.

view from my seat:

I hope your fans enjoy the Southern Hospitality and hopefully we don't have to wait another 59 years for our next Liberty Bowl invite!

You guys have an excellent team. That was a fun, hard-fought game.
We agreed in another thread to aim for a rematch in a bigger bowl.
Do you guys prefer Oranges, Roses, or deserts?

any of the above works for me...while we're at it why not a home-home hoops series? FedExForum is a fun place to catch a hoops game!

Based on everything I've seen, I'd be all for a home and home in both basketball and football.. beats doing home and homes with Mac teams

you think YOUR salty? The whole of Memphis pretty much chooses to not talk about it because we have NOT moved on yet lol

If you want some fun, ask "what is a blarge?"
We're, um, not quite over a 2000 game yet.

And this, Memphis fans, is actually one of our more level-headed fans.

We're also not over Niang's broken foot in 2014 and ******* Aaron Craft.

That cut deep.
What I would give to punch Aaron Craft just once, before or after he actually fouled out. Rosy-cheeked little punk.

It was a helluva game, and at the end of the day it was about as evenly matched as two pretty different teams could play with key injuries/absences on both sides. I had to tell myself as the 4th quarter began that neither team deserved to lose, and that I wouldn't get too awfully upset if ISU ended up on the short end of the stick (unlike our KSU game). Both teams were a few plays away from busting this more open, and both teams' defenses stepped up and held fast to their gameplans to keep it close. I could only listen to the PxP over TuneIn as I was driving through podunk ILLinois, but it seems like the game held up to its billing as one of the most interesting non-NY6 bowls to watch for the true CFB fan.

The next season's season ending opponent is still not mentioned by name on here.

There's several others that get spoken of, but they are still deep, deep burns.

At least we do well with Drake!

I can see myself in that pic! Pretty much straight across diagonally from you.

Great game, great atmosphere, didn't run in to any jerk Memphis fans. A few fans of the TOE in my section for some reason...

For a casual fan, this would have been a great game to watch. Not as high scoring as predicted, but plenty of back and forth, some controversy, and it came down to the last possession.

I had a couple of people text me that had no dog in the fight to tell me they didn't care who won, but were pulling hard for ISU at the end because of that "fumble" and "PI" call at the end. They know what ISU fans go through and wanted us to finally be on the winning side of it.

I did see some drunk Memphis fans walking around yelling crap and I apologize for them. I swear most of us aren't straight out the trailer park lol...I told all the ISU fans around to head to Central BBQ by the stadium if they wanted true Memphis BBQ after the game and to check out Cooper-Young right there by the stadium.

glad y'all had a good experience!
