*** Official #18 IOWA STATE vs #13 Miami Pop-Tarts Bowl Game(Day) Thread ***

[RonBurgundy]

I like your use of the plural form even when singular is called for. They clarified things in the broadcast

I am never going to call a Pop-Tart a Pop-Tarts. They can go **** themselves. We own you now, Pop-Tart.

I couldn't care less that Ward didn't play the 2nd half. Cyclones were missing #1 WR (Noel 1A), #1 CB, #1 safety, and lost the best tackler on the team.
A year from now, only thing anybody remembers is the Cyclone victory.
I'm very happy. And slightly inebriated.

Not many teams held Cam Ward to under 200 yards passing.

Let the record show the defense was dominant!

This is a better product....

Cheaper too.

I agree but we lose that by 10+ if ward doesn’t sit second half. Like you said, oh well no one remembers that next year

This isn’t fact. You don’t know how it would play out.

 

[KnappShack]

Cheaper too.

I would imagine a Toast 'ems Bowl would have strippers and public smoking

But it is a better product at a better price

Inspired, I asked AI to write a poem. Here's what it came up with:

In Orlando's sunshine, where citrus blooms
A bowl game tale of pride and youthful tunes
The Cyclones, red, white, and gold
Face off against the 'Canes to unfold

From Ames to Coral Gables, they roam
With spirit and cheer, they make their home
Their armor shines like morning dew
As they take the field, with hearts anew

In Central Florida's vibrant heat
The Pop Tarts Bowl brings fans to the street
Strawberry, brown sugar, and s'mores delight
Fueling dreams of victory tonight

The Cyclones charge, with ferocity bold
Their defense, a fortress to behold
While Miami's offense, with speed does play
Seeking the end zone, in a dazzling display

In the fourth quarter's crunch time thrill
A Hail Mary pass, may just fulfill
But Iowa State's grasp, is strong and tight
As they claim the victory, under Orlando's lights

The 'Canes depart, with heads hung low
Their dreams of glory, left to grow
While Cyclones celebrate, with glee
Their triumphant win, a memory to be

In Orlando's warmth, a tale is told
Of courage and heart, that never grows old
For the Iowa State Cyclones, their name is known
As champions of Pop Tarts Bowl, in Florida's winter throne.

Alright, I just re-read the poem that AI generated. What the actual ****. That's creepily accurate.

I can't find them in the Walmart app either, whether to be picked up at an Ames store or shipped.

I found them. Not many left for some reason.

We were literally playing walk-on linebackers from towns with populations less than 200. No sympathy from me.

Might be the best win in ISU football history.

 

[CycloneErik]

Impatiently waiting for a Pop-Tarts Bowl Champions shirt to appear in the Google.
Well, from a legitimate site. I see a few that raise questions.

 

[Clonefan94]

Shut your ***** mouth!

Well, then stop bringing waffles into a pop tart fight.

 

[fcclone]

Why? He played the whole first half and they took their first and biggest lead at the end of half. 3 points.

Yeah, the 'pop tarts is singular' is like the GIF creator coming out and saying "its jif". No, its not.

 

[StPaulCyclone]

Eff the rotters! Eff your negativiTy! Your fandom is what’s rotting.
This is the greatest season in Cyclone FB history! If you can’t enjoy it, it’s on you!
I don’t care if Cam was out, clones kept it in reach and won.

P.S. Yes, I am drunk!

 

[NENick]

Slightly?? Catch up you wuss!

Working on it!

 

[Dgilbertson]

Know The U had some weaknesses on D but great year one outta Mouse. Some clever calls and like his feel for the time and game.

Room to improve but I like what I saw.

Top two. Interestingly enough Cristobal was the losing coach in each one.
