Iowa State vs. Miami in Pop Tarts Bowl (Orlando)

I’ll watch. Probably won’t have much going on that day anyways… given our recent history on these post-season scrimmage games I am not super hopeful though.

I’m sure once again the focus will be on keeping the team together and trying not to lose any key pieces to the portal, which to be fair is very important.

I'm very concerned that we won't even be trying. It'll be about fundamentals and working towards next year.

Remember that stat that we had 100 different guys play this year?

We might have 100 different guys play in THIS GAME.

 

[ribsnwhiskey]

Can we win one of these games? Memphis, ND, Wash St., Clemson.

No we already lost those.

I’m saving my money for Jonesboro, Arkansas trip next September

This comment is a fantastic combination of petty, bitter, and hilarious.

Our band looked and sound 10x better than the ASU band Saturday fwiw

Yes but the cheerleaders and dance team...

All the hype about ASU coeds being super mega hot? There should be MORE hype, just ludicrous.

TCU in the Houston bowl.

Which year was that?
Was that in the "way long time ago" category?

Word is Cam Ward is gonna play.

Yep.

Hurricanes star Cam Ward surprisingly says he will play in Pop-Tarts Bowl

Hurricanes star quarterback Cam Ward indicated he will play in Miami’s appearance in the Pop-Tarts Bowl in a video posted to social media.

Sorry, I’m slow.

Is this because it is ridiculous ISU is doing a home-and-home with a Sun Belt team?

Imo the playoff stuff has made everything else anti-climactic.

The excitement for bowls has eroded a lot the last 4-5 years and this year they're a total afterthought.

Very Fair point, but holy hell you should probably pick a new team to root for if that's your thought. (Ps I probably should also but wont)

2005. Berryman had like 5 sacks, TCU was still a mid-major darling and we lost by 3.

 

[CYaeger]

Cam Ward says he’s playing in it. We’ve got ourselves a game boys.

We’re cooked

The OG Tangerine Bowl is now the Citrus Bowl, but I think they called this one the Tangerine Bowl for a season or two.

Correct!

I went to the old original Tangerine Bowl (1947-82) 3 times: 1977, 1980 and 1981. Then it rebranded to the Citrus Bowl in 1983 and remained a December Bowl until they moved to NYD for 1986 season / Jan. 1987 game. They began their SEC-B1G contract in the 1992 season. I have been to the Citrus Bowl on NYD 3 times: 1993, 2011 and 2019.

Additionally, the current Pop-Tarts Bowl was also temporarily called the Tangerine Bowl for one season in 2001 when it was in between sponsors and relocated to Orlando - where it has remained since. This Bowl started as the Blockbuster Bowl in Miami in 1991 and had 5 different sponsor names in Miami before the relocation to Orlando and is on their 6th sponsor name (Pop-Tarts Bowl) now. I have never been to this game.

Let's Go State!

The ISU Band will Blow away the Hurricane Band. Miami has a really good School of Music, but they have a very small Band that can barely form a U.

Let's Go State!

How did you take that I'm not rooting for ISU?

What team should I root for if I think college football in general isn't very good?

I heard their band is so small they just form a lower case u.

1) if all you care about is a postseason slot in the playoffs, then ISU might not make much of a splash

2) you sound like a Chiefs guy to me

I like this matchup as it gives our team an opportunity to get the bad taste out of their mouth from this weekend, and it certainly should have their attention.

 

[Cyclad]

Now if Miami QB opts out it might be an okay game

He is playing

 

[Cyclad]

I assume Miami will have a ton sit/transfer.

As for us, maybe Higgins??

Nope
