Bowl Hope

How about for me to go watch a bowl game and have fun in a different city/state?

I agree with this. And if ISU finishes 5-7, Rhoads is coming back next year. So might as well give Lanning, Warren, Lazard, etc. an extra game of prep, maybe give Sturdy another game to audition for full-time OC in 2016, and give the seniors something good to go out on after putting up with 2 years of bad football.
 
We didn't see those extra practices offer us much in development the other times. I'm not buying that as a reason to go to a bowl at 5-7.

How about rewarding the players who are working their ***** off, and who haven't given up? Or is this more about you?
