Bowl Game Projections

[Jiub]

Really horrible draw for Iowa State after such a great season (with losses coming after questionable refball).

Iowa State is Iowa State is Iowa State is Iowa State.

Dear Liberty Bowl: Please don’t pick us.
Sincerely, the entire Iowa State fanbase

I just don't understand fans not going to the game because of the opponent. It seems to me that you would want to see the Iowa State players one more time. I certainly want to support the team that brought me the month of October.

The only Iowans that want to go to TN are the hoks wanting Nashville.

No surprise and consistent with most major projections

I'd love to see Iowa State vs Mizzou in the Heart of Dallas bowl

Check that, I think it will be Texas playing Mizzou in the Texas bowl

Heart of Dallas is vs Big 10
What if they put us vs Iowa? lol..

Its almost like people decide, when spending a good deal of money to go to a bowl game, whether all the factors (destination, opponent, etc) make it worth spending that money or something.

Yup. It is a moving target. But knowing this committee, they would find a way to keep OU out of the playoffs if the Big 12 didn't have a championship.

It’s whatever benefits the SeC from year to year

This. It's going to be great wherever we go. It's been a great season. I can't wait to put a bow on it.

JFC people. It's a bowl game. If we want a better bowl maybe we should end the year better than 1-3. Ya it's slightly ****** that we'll basically be playing a road game, but how many people had iowa state in a bowl game before week 1 or even week 4?
At first, reading everyone complain about the bowl I almost thought I had somehow gone to volnation and was reading about their coaching search. You all saying we should turn the bowl down are acting just like those d-bags there.

And, frankly, I don't understand that logic. But if a fan wants to throw a fit to spite the team that they supposedly cheer for, then go for it.

That would be a thousand times worse than Memphis.

 

[Cyched]

Some of you are being huge babies about this. Not excited about the potential draw, but we made a bowl in CMC's second year. I'm excited for him and the program.

I don’t disagree with what you are saying, but 6-6 Texas would have been selected over 8-5 Iowa State for Texas Bowl and Camping World had the opponent been Notre Dame.

....

That would mean 0-6.

 

[Rudderless]

This Liberty Bowl talk is giving me awful flashbacks to the 2002 Humanitarian Bowl.
A 7-6 Iowa State team gets sent to Boise, Idaho, where it was cold and snowing, to play Boise State on its home field.

Some of you need to chill, I will gladly go to a driving distance bowl game in which I can enjoy NYE out of Iowa to support a Coach and team who fought their asses off this year to exceed most everyone's expectations.

Sure there are better things on the horizon, but I live for now. See you on Beale

Arent you the one that still whines about hoiberg in every other basketball thread? And you're bagging on people weighing how to use their own money as 'throwing a fit'?

 

[Boxerdaddy]

It's all about perspective. Before the year started or after the Iowa game, I think all of us would be stoked for the bowl game anywhere. After wins against Ok, TCU and getting what we feel is screwed out of two other potential wins and the matchups that those would have had, it can be seen as disappointing but only because we allowed ourselves to fall into the what ifs.

Iowa State is Iowa State is Iowa State is Iowa State.

Who cares, just win. I, for one, am excited to watch them play one more time.
