Bowl Game Projections
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
They fly to certain locations twice a week. If your flight gets canceled, which happens at an extremely high rate compared to other airlines, they will offer you a free ticket on the flight that is in a few days. If you don't want that, they'll offer a voucher for only Frontier that can be used in the next 6 months.
Cactus Bowl would be the best for pregaming since it is the closest downtown. Camping World Bowl is in a kinda rough resident neighborhood (though they are in the process of gentrifying the area)
Many stadiums are in ****** neighborhoods because the land is cheap and they get public financing by "reviving" the area.
If I were to guess... if we win Saturday I think we will be in Orlando. If we lose then I'd say Memphis.
Hey @MeanDean how many of us can crash at your crib if we come to Florida?
38, maybe 40 Max. Someone will have to let the dog sleep in their car. It's only 2 BR. Bring beer.
NRG in Houston isn't right next to downtown, but it's pretty close to places worth pregaming at. The rail can take you to pretty close to rice village, midtown and/or downtown.
Brett McMurphy latest projections:
BOWL (CITY) DATE MATCHUP
Cactus Bowl (Phoenix) Dec. 26 Big 12 vs. Pac-12
Projection: Iowa State vs. Arizona State
After Iowa State's blazing 6-2 start, its won only one of its last three games. The Cyclones close the regular season against nemesis Kansas State, which has won nine straight against ISU - but only one of those victories was by more than eight points.

Really, really hope that doesn't happen. The day after Christmas would be tough for me.
I highly doubt we will be in the Cactus Bowl. KState and Texas and Tech as well if they get in are all behind us IMO
I've seen a lot of chatter today from Texas media/fans that seem to think that if they win Friday that they will be heading to Orlando. Not sure if there's anything behind it other than that they think they'll pass us just because they are Texas, but I'll be rooting for Tech on Friday just in case.
No thanks on Cactus bowl. Hate that it’s on the 26th.
As someone that made the drive to Phoenix, AZ in 2000 for the Insight.com Bowl when I was in college, yes the date sucks but the location is well worth the trip. I'm posting this 17 years after that trip and I will tell you that was still one of the most fun trips I have made for an ISU football game in my life. At least now you can buy tickets online, back in 2000 you had to wait in line in the cold outside of the ticket office at Hilton just to have a chance at getting a ticket to the bowl game.
Coming into this season anyone thinking that we had a shot at 8 wins this weekend would have taken that in a heartbeat I bet. After the Texas loss it was melt down mode on CF and a bowl game seemed unlikely so to nitpick at what bowl we might end up at right now is really being petty. Anywhere South and warm is a huge plus right now. The added practices alone are a huge benefit for this program.
Anyone that says they have any inkling of a bowl destination right now has no clue. There's so much to be sorted out next week.
