I am not embarrassed but they represent Iowa State, right?The game against New Hampshire on Sunday is more important than this one.
I cannot imagine the concept of being embarrassed by a game played by people you don't know.

Feels like a reach. Creative reason to be upset…but I don’t buy it.The Pro Bowl doesn’t have any recruit/transfer implications for one. Recruits see games these and it could/will be a factor on where they want to go play.
There's a huge difference between people coming at Dabo and people wanting us to look like we practice for games.That’s fine I guess- better than the alternative. I really encourage you and others to read the Dabo Swinney article on ESPN about fans and unhinged expectations though. There’s something to be said for having realistic expectations and appropriate responses to losses.

Seriously, why is it worth more than this? Serious question - if Rocco tore his ACL going for the game winning TD in this game and couldn’t start the year next season, would you think it was worth it? Or if your kid got a concussion in this game? I get that the game has to feel real enough to be entertaining…but it’s hard to convince me this means much…"I Tried"ribbonsgift bags all around!
They cover that view. I encourage you to read the article.How much money does Dabo and his football boys make? This ain't division 3.
@CycloneSpinning just because you are ok with mediocrity doesn’t mean the rest of us has to be. Some of us wish for our university to evolve and get better. I was happy with the season, but today’s game had the same red flags that we were concerned about earlier in the season and in some cases for the entirety of CMC’s tenure (OL)
Ironically, at a time when bowl game mean less than ever to fans, they mean more than ever for the huge Portal season that coincides with it. We’re already struggling to pull in guys that are picking between North Dakota and us. Selling them on coming to Ames after showings like that get a lot more difficult.I think the general college football fan has already forgotten about this mid level bowl game and they didn’t care at all about ISU losing to a G5 school. They’re now looking forward to the Cotton Bowl.
It’s really not as bad of a look as people think it is
Take the 30,000 foot view and I think you’ll see there isn’t. Same types of people, same views…rooting for different colored jerseys.There's a huge difference between people coming at Dabo and people wanting us to look like we practice for games.

Nah dumbTake the 30,000 foot view and I think you’ll see there isn’t. Same types of people, same views…rooting for different colored jerseys.
Maybe the NCAA should just cancel bowl games and only have a 12 team tournament moving forward?Seriously, why is it worth more than this?

Nobody is robbing you at gunpoint to give money.Yet for the foreseeable future it seems ISU fans will all be asked over and over to give more and more to those same people they don't know to play said game.
They didn’t give up after being down 19-0.
I’m drunk.
