If Iowa State is available, Liberty Bowl is going to pick them. Id say odds are high we will be in Memphis.

Just not playing Memphis at Memphis..

Exactly this.

I'd be okay with playing Memphis. The 50/50 mix in the stadium was fantastic.

I hesitate to worry/complain about anything, considering we got to bowl eligibility after the way the season started (but here comes the "but") - the possibility of playing Memphis in Liberty again ... sigh.

I'd love playing Auburn in that game as opposed to Memphis.

If Liberty Bowl wants the most ISU fans possible to attend they should not stack us with Memphis again.

2022 Liberty Bowl: Kansas 53 Arkansas 55

If we end up in Memphis I’ll be there regardless of opponent.

Memphis being opponent is probably the only way I would NOT go to the game.

WTF is the point of a bowl game that's really an away game? Dumb af. Plus it's already happened to ISU twice!

Do you like going to bowl games with empty stadiums?

The last Liberty Bowl against Memphis was one of the best college football atmospheres I've been to. It was basically 50/50 and the environment of a sold out stadium was fun as hell. I'd rather not play Memphis on their home field again but would signup for that over a Shreveport or Phoenix game.

I don't think Memphis fans are as excited this go around. They had a really good team when we played them last time.

There will be less fans from ISU at a redo game vs Memphis. I think 50/50 wouldn’t happen. That 2017 game was the tail end of a magical year and had all that momentum. This year is just different.

 

[Al_4_State]

It would piss me off to play this game 3 times in a decade span and never get an SEC opponent

 

[Hoggins]

Root for the 5 win SEC teams this weekend. Rather play 6-6 Florida or South Carolina than Memphis

The Williams family would be torn. Cyclones versus Cocks

On the other hand, you can drive. So it’s affordable for Iowa State fans. There were lots of fans at the first liberty bowl too.

I loved Memphis. And one year they are bound to have good weather.

I get that but man… that stadium sucks so much ass.
