Im happy with the bowl, but unhappy with the opponent. Its hard to get excited about playing a team twice in one season.
How do you feel about bowl game?

It's very "Cyclone" to be happy with this bowl. We got screwed. There is no way in hell Northern Illinois should be in a BCS bowl. Couldn't ask for a worse matchup either.
Of all the bowls that we thought they might go too, this one is my favorite. Ive been hearing good things about memphis all week.

What is better than going to a bowl game? Going to a bowl game and winning. This is a team we know we can and will beat. Last time we won by 15. This time I think we win by 28.

Only one team in the whole conference finished below us. We are 6-6, not 10-2. We are fortunate to be going anywhere.

Completely agree. Was looking forward to going to Dallas. I'm a little disappointed. Liberty Bowl itself is decent for ISU except for playing Tulsa again. Should have decent tape on each other for next fall's game planning. Fans shouldn't need a program to know the opposing players by number.
I'm a fan of Memphis. Great food, great live jazz in several places on Beale nightly. Liberty Bowl is recognizable, on ESPN on NY Eve, "short" drive. What's not to love? Wish I was going now.But after spending the cash going to TCU game, just can't swing another one this year. Make sure to represent, you won't be sorry you go. NY was a friggin' blast! Shreveport sucked. Houston was OK. Phoenix was the best both times!
Indeed. Beggars can't be choosers. Memphis is a good spot. Dallas and Houston are two of the least interesting cities in the US (no offense to any of you Dallas or Houston dwellers).
Happy with bowl, neutral on opponent. There are a lot worse opponents it could be, like playing a team either practically at home or in their home state like we have in 3 of the last 5 bowls (Rutgers, TCU, Boise)
The Liberty Bowl has a rich tradition in College Football. Notching a victory and a winning season would be dandy.
Wanted Dallas for personal reasons. Would go there, but probably can't swing Memphis.

It sounds like this is where the athletic dept and coaches watned to end up if all hell with the BSC broke lose. They knew the stiuation with Tulsa going in so that make me feel better about the situation. Would have been fun to beat up on a Big 10 team but the team made their bed with the 6-6 record and 9th place finish.
