Appreciate all of the responses! No friend of K-State here, just found some of the reasoning (about K-State) curious!
As for Iowa State, I love the fact that the Cyclone Fans have the travelling reputation they have. I will not be able to make the CWB this year (ironically pre-planned to be in Orlando for the Citrus Bowl), but I have previously seen ISU play in the 1978 Hall of Fame Classic @ Legion Field, 2001 Independence Bowl, 2012 Liberty Bowl and 2017 Liberty Bowl.
Plus, I am super excited to see what Purdy, Hall, Kolar, Jones and Co. can do against ND! I hope that Cyclone Nation will fill up Orlando and the CWB with Cardinal and Gold and put on a good show. Will be super tough though, as I am not taking the Irish for granted. Punching up has its merits, but it doesn't mean much without the "W".
Just "W"in Cyclones!
