To put this in perspective:
Am I excited that the boys are in a bowl game? Absolutely! Congrats to the team, staff, and everyone who contributed to a surprisingly successful season! Proud to be a Cyclone and thouroughly enjoyed the ride.
But after knocking off two top-five teams (one of which will likely be the national champion), numerous road wins, several one-score losses, and hearing that Clones vs. Notre Dame in Orlando was in play, Memphis at home is a bit of a letdown. (No disrespect to the Tigers...they’ve had a great season.) So please excuse those of us who don’t share the excitement. Doesn’t mean we’re any less “committed” or loyal to the Clones.
I’ve been to Memphis numerous times...in the summer and fall. It’s an ok destination. In the summer or fall. But I’m not into partying or blues music, have already been to Graceland, and I do a pretty good job with my own bbq. 40-degree games are ok at The Jack...they’re just not my idea of an enjoyable bowl game experience. So I’m saving my $ for San Antonio (or better) next year.
For those of you going, have fun, cheer hard, and celebrate responsibly!
Cyclone. Power.
