Iowa State at Missouri

I thought it seemed like we are always on the road. 6 of last 8 Big 12/SEC Challenge games have been at SEC sites.
2014: Auburn @ Hilton
2015: Arkansas @ Hilton
2016: @ Texas A&M
2017: @ Vanderbilt
2018: Tennessee @ Hilton
2019: @ Ole Miss
2020: @ Auburn
2021: @ Mississippi State
2022: Mizzou @ Hilton
2023: @ Mizzou

and the 2018 game, we wish was on the road. ISU was not good and was crushed by Tenn @ Hilton.

The best thing about this year's matchup is it's the END of the SEC/Big 12 series.

That 2018 game was a week after destroying #8 Tech and right before beating up on #16 WVU.

Looked like a rough opening decade for the Clones.

They've had some rough decades playing lots of teams in football, haha.

That's quite a black mark on Mizzou's history to have lost 5 straight to ISU during some real dark times.
 
just hoping we turn them over about 20 times, then i think we can win even without Grill

I'm not going to dislike, disagree or dumb anyone's opinions but I am not following the logic that this game doesnt matter? I understand it is a non conference game, obviously doesnt apply to the conference race, but a L is still a L. Does a W against an average P5 school even out of conference not weigh more than a W against a Directional School in November?

Seems to me that Iowa State stands a lot to lose hear if they lose to Missouri. I understand the road could turn and they start to accumulate losses but right now Iowa State is on pace for a 3 or 4 seed. I kind of hope the players have a little better attitude than the "meh" that I'm reading here.

it's more-so that it doesn't matter nearly as much as a loss to TTU on Monday (for example).

And I think the general narrative of the "would you rather" is focused largely on if it's "safe" to rest Grill (if staff deems it necessary) plus tight Saturday/Monday turnaround.

(Not my narrative, but based on comments in this thread and a couple of others).

Of course it isn't either/or; if that were the case, losing a Missouri is "preferable" because (1) doesn't affect conference title possibilities (2) It's a Quad 1 loss (as of now) and Tech would be teetering on Quad 2. (TT is on the cusp of that right now)

I don't think everyone feels like a loss is okay. It's more that we are currently tied for first place in the Big-12 at the midway point. This game provides an opportunity for a team who likes to play physically to rest a bit and try some new things. Where this team finishes in the Big 12 will go a lot further for seeding than a game against Missouri.

Part of that is also that the shine of Mizzou has declined recently. If they were a top 15 team, beating them in their house would carry much more cachet, as it is now, it would be a nice win, but not one to make the committee take notice.
