Far too much controversy here...

Not sure why you're using this quote, as it has zero relevance for you.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Yeah, but what does this have to do with you, Bob?

great minds...

 

[jmb]

You can eat the pickles, will let you figure out what to do with the rest.

Could be some way to use that to earn a ride to the bowl game.

 

[BCClone]

Could be some way to use that to earn a ride to the bowl game.

And I want no details.

And I want no details.

Thank you for making me actually LOL.

9. Camping World Bowl: No. 15 Notre Dame (10-2) vs. Iowa State (7-5) — Dec. 28, Noon (ABC)
The pick of Iowa State for this game is a bit surprising. But with Texas off the board to the Alamo Bowl, the Camping World Bowl went with what will likely be a strong traveling Iowa State fan base. This should be a fun matchup of quarterbacks between Notre Dame’s Ian Book and Iowa State’s Brock Purdy. And did you know that an 11th win for the Irish could add to the winningest three-year stretch (2017-19) in Notre Dame history?

10. Liberty Bowl: No. 23 Navy (9-2) vs. Kansas State (8-4) — Dec. 31, 3:45 p.m. (ESPN)
Chris Klieman has proven to be an excellent fit in his first year at Kansas State replacing the legendary Bill Snyder. How his team deals with Navy’s option attack will be a challenge unlike any other the Wildcats have faced this year.

The consensus agrees ISU/ND is the 3rd best Big 12 match up.

 

[CycloneErik]

They are a third party. Can you show me someone who says ISU was selected because they had a better season than K-State or oSu for that matter?

Not a better season, just better fans.

Thought that was 3 different parts of the line. Nope, its the same ~ 30 people in each picture.

Actually, he doesn't seem like the type to troll a fellow land grant. He might be sending a subtle message to his own student body?

You realize a few years back he put a billboard up on the main drag to Iowa City (home of U of I), celebrating the Cyclones taking the CyHawk series?

oooooooo...you snuck in a little dig at our students while I was quoting you. I'm not worried about our students. They're pretty great.

Good to see they are prepared for the Memphis winter as well.

I will say if we did end up in Memphis, I wouldn't mind playing Navy. Always up for a game against a military academy.
