    They are in the Big 10 so yeah, we would probably beat them. In fact the only Big 10 team I would say is a sure loss for ISU is Michigan St.

    Re: Bowl Talk

    Remember guys, it's all about the dollars spent and who will spend them. Personally, I don't see alot of Clone fans in NYC. I know I won't be one. I can see a **** ton of Clone fans in Houston or even better Dallas.
    No one wants to go from a cold region to a cold region. Thats the simple facts. If by the grace of God above we can win one of the next two, I see us in Dallas. My gut tells me that we WILL win one of the next two games.

    Pinstripe bowl is terrible. In New York around New Years? How much will a flight cost? How about a hotel? Cripes, how about a ticket to the game?

    Re: Bowl Talk

    According to ESPN
    BBVA Compass Bowl
    (Big East vs. SEC) - January 6, 2012 Louisville vs. Iowa State

    Or....

    Kraft Fight Hunger
    (Army vs. Pac-12) - December 31, 2011 Iowa State vs. Arizona State

    College Bowl Games - 2011 College Bowl Projections and Schedules - ESPN

    Is this even possible?
    There are not many crowds or places in the country that have a better impact on the game than at Iowa State. The Cyclone fans are truly a sixth man. The place is so loud and always a fantastic crowd." - Former Kansas and current North Carolina head coach Roy Williams

    If a league doesn't have enough bowl eligible teams to fulfill their tie ins, the bowls shop around for other teams.

    Compass Bowl: probably not id guess
    Theyre the 9th SEC pick, if there arent 9 SEC teams, they pick a Sun Belt team. Sun belt has 2 tie ins and 4 teams eligible.


    Kraft Fight Hunger:
    Its order of selection for the team that goes against the pac is Army (not eligible) then ACC pick #9. There are currently 8 bowl eligible teams with NC State being a possible #9, but miami has announced theyre suspending themselves from a bowl, so there will only be a max of 8 teams for the ACC to send.

    Re: Bowl Talk

    I was exited to see at least one writer (ESPN) having us go to the Kraft bowl in San Fran. That would be my No. 1 choice, followed by the Holiday Bowl, and then the BoB Bowl in St. Pete's.

    Holiday Bowl would be nice. A bowl in Texas would be okay. I don't really want the Pinstripe Bowl. NYC is very expensive. The trip would cost a fortune.

    Re: Bowl Talk

    It's been a 28 year dream of mine (since I moved to Dallas) to see I-State play in the old Cotton Bowl Stadium. I've always wanted to go to a game in that historic stadium but have always said I'll wait until ISU plays there.

    Now it may just happen... I certainly hope so!

    Yeah, we need to avoid the Pinstripe if we can. About the only good thing about it would be the practice.

    Re: Bowl Talk

    Did anyone see the stadium layout for last year's Pinstripe? The only seats near the field were endzone tickets. Who woulda thought, football field in a baseball staium... fits like a square peg in a round hole lol
