Flights and hotel booked, and game tickets purchased. Looking forward supporting this young team!
That's actually a pretty good pitch, especially the part about it being important to the team. He knows folks aren't happy about a cold weather bowl versus a home team so needs to do what he can to counter that. Did about as good as he could with what he has to work with here and gotta give him a thumbs up on the pitch.
You misspelled "humiliation".
That bowl is always the Smurf Bowl or the Humiliation Bowl.
If there is one thing the ISU bowl destination process has taught me over the years, it's that absolutely no destination/matchup will make every Cyclone fan happy.
I am pretty sure some ISU supporters would complain about the city or matchup we got if we made the CFB Playoff.

Let me know where you are tailgating!!
Where does one find out details about the "pre-game buffet & party" aka tailgate? It's indoor (per the youtube video), but where? Also, when does it start?
I assume the details of the pep-rally (at the ballpark probably) and the parade (Beale Street) will come out later.

Thanks, the Cyclones.com [ticketmaster] site had none of that info.
We're doing the alumni assn package. If we're anywhere near you we'll stop by & say hi!
I was there in 2015 for the Liberty Bowl and it was freezing also, probably in the low 40s during the game.
You mean 2012 when they played Tulsa? It really sucked because it was raining. It started raining during the game and then it was absolutely pouring that night on top of being cold. The game sucked and the weather sucked.
Tulsa tabled the turns after ISU dominated them in September.
Another notch on the 'how's the program actually doing?' board of that season.
I get your point about opponents, that’s the big downside here.
But I keep hearing the “the stadium is a dump” line for why this isn’t a good bowl game for ISU. Who cares what the stadium is like…that Memphis/ISU matchup in the dump of a stadium was a top 10-20 fun experience for me and I’ve attended well over 150 Iowa State football games. Conversely, the UNLV stadium was amazing but that didn’t contribute to making it a top ISU game to watch in person.
Bowl games and games like at UNLV are fun because of the total fan experience and not the quality of the stadium, or even the opponent at times.
My guess is that many people that are vocally complaining 1) haven’t been there before and 2) have no intent on going.
I didn’t go but for some reason i remember our Shreveport fg game being like record cold too?
