We were outed by a better team this night. That's FB. Next year we will tee it all up again.But it really is an exhibition game. The game is a reward to players for having a good year. Coaches want to win because their contracts typically have an incentive clause for bowl wins. The game gives fans the opportunity to take a small vacation to watch the team play one more game for the season.
A team’s success or failure for the following year has no merit on the outcome of a mid level bowl game. But a NY6 game can be meaningful
I would like to remind fans of the highs we have had recently, under Campbell. Iowa State is just not going to win all of their games. It would take an amazing couple of classes.
I'm not happy about tonight. Losing is never fun. I am happy with our players, coaches and effort, this year. If you are not, think about it some more. It's never as low or as high as it seems.
