ISR Bowl talk

There may be a better bowl game 3 days later, however Iowa State vs. Notre Dame in that time slot is going to get a ton of viewers, especially because it's going to play right into the playoff games. It's a great opportunity for Iowa State to showcase the program. This is the 3rd year in a row that Iowa State will play a very tough opponent in a bowl game and downplaying it is pretty dumb. Camping World knows Iowa State is going to bring a ton of fans and give Notre Dame a game. It's a testament to the fanbase as well Matt Campbell for putting a competing product on the field, not to mention getting a game of Brock Purdy vs. Ian Book.
its a really neat game for Iowa State.
San Antonio helped us get this one. It especially helped when they announced loudly how much money was generated by Iowa State fans here last year. Every now city now wants in on Iowa State fan money.
The Notre Dame should skip the bowl game movement is getting some traction.

Maybe they should and then get laughed at around the country for being giant insufferable twats.
let’s be real here, there is no traction. They like the bowl attention as much as anyone and if they are worth a **** they will win going away and add to their award case.
I have no idea, but I would guess they are less than thrilled. They probably figured with a 10-2 record at ND they would be in a NY6 bowl and not playing a 7-5 unranked team in a bowl game in a city where they are hosting an even more prestigious bowl three days later.

The Catholics are fired up. Hasn't been this ornery since the Protestant Reformation.
Don't pay attention to anyone trying to run ISU or the bowl game down. Ridiculous. ISU got the bowl it was hoping for, Iowa got the bowl it was hoping for. Both are good games/destinations/opponents.
Except pay boards say they are "licking their chops to get a chance at Purdy"
This is where independence is a negative factor. ND essentially has to be undefeated to get into the playoff. Their fans cry when they have one loss and don't make it in. Now, with two losses, their fans are mad they aren't in a NY6 bowl. It's quite common for ND to feel left out when it's their own choice to not be a part of a conference.
I for one think it's pretty sweet Iowa State and Iowa got these prestigious schools. Could be a good showing for the state!
Yep, their fans are finally realizing the importance of joining a conference after being relegated to the Camping World Bowl after a 10-2 season. I don't blame them, but don't feel sorry for them either. ND should have joined a conference 20 years ago.
You going to S.D? It's seriously a gorgeous city. Brother in law was stationed out there and we got there frequently.
If I were in their shoes I'd be pissed I wasn't in a NY6 bowl too, but that's how it works.
Can't make it, too much family stuff around Xmas. Been to San Diego/LaJolla several times, might be the best city in the country. Best sashimi I've ever had.
