Thank you CycloneRulzzz for your dedicated game day threads.

I was not able to make the trip to Orlando.

I hope all Cyclone travelers have a safe and wonderful time!

My normal route to the game is to come in from the West side of the stadium and park in the neighborhood right next to the stadium on the West side. iowa State side and the Fan Zone is right there.

Probably a FG game either way.

So I’ll take a game winning FG or TD for the Cyclones.

32-31 Iowa State

Go Cyclones!

Win or lose but win would be nice this has been a fun and historic season. Let's hopefully hold nothing back and prove that a CYCLONE is king of wind storms. :)
Maybe Northwestern will show up today as the opponent, and I do not mean Miami Northwestern which is friggin' powerhouse!

:bugle:

We have no reason to win this game and I have an awful, awful feeling about it. They have one of the better QBs we’ve seen in years. Even if he doesn’t play, we know all about back up QB looking like Joe Montana against us and Miami has roster completely full of blue chippers regardless. And then there’s the whole fact that our defense often couldn’t stop a rushing attack from the sisters of the poor. And then there’s the other fact that we often look just terrible in about every single bowl game.

But god damn all of it. It wasn’t over when KU smacked the crap out of us, it wasn’t over Kempt went down to Norman that one day and it sure as hell wasn’t over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. We have dudes too. And our dudes love them some ******* pop tarts.

Let’s. Go. State.

Inspired, I asked AI to write a poem. Here's what it came up with:

In Orlando's sunshine, where citrus blooms
A bowl game tale of pride and youthful tunes
The Cyclones, red, white, and gold
Face off against the 'Canes to unfold

From Ames to Coral Gables, they roam
With spirit and cheer, they make their home
Their armor shines like morning dew
As they take the field, with hearts anew

In Central Florida's vibrant heat
The Pop Tarts Bowl brings fans to the street
Strawberry, brown sugar, and s'mores delight
Fueling dreams of victory tonight

The Cyclones charge, with ferocity bold
Their defense, a fortress to behold
While Miami's offense, with speed does play
Seeking the end zone, in a dazzling display

In the fourth quarter's crunch time thrill
A Hail Mary pass, may just fulfill
But Iowa State's grasp, is strong and tight
As they claim the victory, under Orlando's lights

The 'Canes depart, with heads hung low
Their dreams of glory, left to grow
While Cyclones celebrate, with glee
Their triumphant win, a memory to be

In Orlando's warmth, a tale is told
Of courage and heart, that never grows old
For the Iowa State Cyclones, their name is known
As champions of Pop Tarts Bowl, in Florida's winter throne.

The staff and players beg to differ.
I've seen this movie before., so understood.
Ask a former Taco Tech QB how his last game against us turned out

One can hope!
