Iowa State is now tied for the 3rd most appearances in the Liberty Bowl.
Get Tiger Lane Parking Passes, great for tailgating. 10x10 grass area and electric hookup for all spots. Already bought 2.Yep....its not ideal, but tickets are bought, hotel is reserved, and we are going!
Now....where is the ISU tailgating going to be???
and you're right, I should consider it but, more than likely, I'll cross my fingers and hope for a better bowl next year. it's a gamble but probably one I'm willing to take.I’d highly recommend you consider it. I’ve been to 7 ISU bowl games and Memphis is my second favorite bowl destination (behind Alamo) that we have been too. Tons of ISU fans, Beale Street, and good food.
I'll let you know. My son is in the Band.Last time we played in the Liberty Bowl... they wouldn't allow any of the band members to leave their hotel... too dangerous. That is not a lie... I knew a band member that was there.
They were only allowed to leave for a guided tour of Graceland, and a pep rally that had security.
At the Alamo, if they weren't supposed to be somewhere for an event... then they were free to do whatever they wanted in San Antonio... just roam the Riverwalk, go to the Alamo, or the Tower of the Americas, etc, etc.
Band members I knew hated the Memphis experience bad.
Where was the team hotel?Drivable distance for the students and good date/time.
We stayed at the Peabody last two times, but do not have reservations this time. What is next decent location that will have ton of ISU fans, the Sheraton?
3rd time to the Liberty bowl and zero SEC opponents. 2nd time facing Memphis there. Should still be a fun trip and game but kind of disappointing
What site are you on?Trying to get the tickets, it keeps telling me I have to answer questions and when I do I get shot to another site. Anyone successful yet?
The ACC hasn't done a call with any of the bowls. Are they gonna pull shenanigans because of FSU?
We should win. But could get interesting if TJ doesn’t playMemphis (9-3) is #4 in the AAC standings.

This. Memphis is a lot of fun and the food is amazing. But playing against Memphis is lame. I just hope Scates doesn't burn us.it’s just a little disappointing that we can finish essentially 3rd in the big 12 and get stuck playing a G5 team in the 5th best big 12 bowl
I’m not so much annoyed with the bowl game itself or the location rather than just the opponent.
With the soft non-con every team in the SEC plays, there's no reason every team in that conference shouldn't be bowl eligible.Playoff committee: SEC is obviously the top conference, top to bottom, we can’t leave out their champion
SEC: fails to qualify enough 6-win teams for their bowl tie-ins
McMurphy predicted an opening line of ISU -9. I have not watched 1 minute of Memphis football this year, but looking at those scores, Memphis seems like better than a 9-point dogWe should win. But could get interesting if TJ doesn’t play
