Far too much controversy here...

This is a lot more than I cared to see of Surly.

Yes, but you are on our board continuing your stupid trollery. I'm not on some EMAW site.

I believe it's better to judge teams by who they beat than who they lost to. You really aren't claiming that ISU had a better football season than K-State, are you?

I'm saying they had pretty equal seasons.

She sort of looks like a Bob, doesn't she?

Neal or bob.

If she was a she she probably is still a she,

how dare you assume .... um ... his? Her? Gender!

 

[CloneLawman]

Neal or bob.

OR maybe that's just what she does (Diceman attribution)?

My nephew goes to Minnesota and they have to put their pronouns down at admittance. You can be booted for calling the person the wrong pronoun even if you totally mistakenly do it. He said you just don’t talk to people you don’t know on campus. He put down something like “fighter plane” or “toothpick” for his.

Anyone outside of the schools' interests would probably say they are pretty equal with oSu and Texax, but K-State had bigger wins with the head2head over ISU as well. They also had a bad loss to WVU.

"But the Alamo Bowl chose Texas for its name and proximity to San Antonio, even though the Longhorns only won seven games. And the Camping World Bowl selected Iowa State for its big traveling fan base, even though the Cyclones only won seven games and finished November with a loss against the (8-win) Wildcats."

I believe ISU fans are acting a bit like the ugly rich girl I once knew who flaunted the prettiest dress at prom.

Cyclone fans won the dang day for their team. Bowls below the New Years Six are about bringing fans and money. We all know that. Clearly, ISU has set the pace. Y'all deserve to be proud of the accomplishment. I'm just glad EMAW isn't head to Houston.

The placement based on merit would have been as follows. But we all know Bowlsby's first job is to take care of Texas.

CFP Oklahoma
Sugar Baylor
Alamo oSu
Camping K-State
Texas Iowa State
Liberty Texas

Ok boomer (Is this still thing?)

You think a KC paper is not going to be slanted towards Kstate. You aren’t the brightest one out there.

Are K-Staters going after Texas fans too or are they ok with that selection but are fighting the fact we are more relevant?

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?

Ha Ha that’s rich, third party.

I have not seen anyone saying ISU had a better season, we have been saying we had the same seasons but we travel better and have a more attractive team, hence why we got invited. We know why Texas are in front of us. They are Texas and we were there last year, bowls don’t like back to back teams.

Even after reading her posts?

They basically had the exact same season but I would give a slight edge to Iowa State in results on the field, and a huge edge to Iowa State in rabid fans traveling to this bowl game.

-Iowa State played a much tougher non-conference Power 5 opponent
-Kansas State got blown out in Manhattan by both Baylor and West Virginia
-Iowa State stomped West Virginia on the road and lost to Baylor by 3
- Kansas State lost to Texas, ISu beat them
-K state needed a miracle penalty to hold on to beat Oklahoma, ISU lost by 1 to them on the road with a chance to win on the last play

I just dont know how you can take the entire season into account and proclaim KSU had a much better season and therefore deserved a better bowl.
