Bowl Game Projections

[CTTB78]

So would Pollard be doing any sort of lobbying to try to avoid the Liberty? If so, what does that look like?

Sounds like to me he's doing exactly the opposite. The team practice/bowl date comment was a poor effort to pump up Memphis.

 

[ISUCyclones2015]

No, he's been lobbying FOR the Liberty all week.

And to think, people on here were actually complaining about a possible ND-ISU matchup in Orlando earlier this week.

I know I read his reasons but I still don't get why we would WANT the Liberty Bowl

tell them that West Virginia would send a lot more fans than ISU would.

or that Kansas St. would send more fans since it might be Snyder's final game. Better TV ratings and KSU fans will want to travel to watch it since it is his final game.

The only thing we could do is decline the Liberty Bowl invite (behind the scenes), which we won't do.

That's really disappointing if we play Memphis in Memphis

 

[cyclonedave25]

Stupid Ole Miss... We should be playing an SEC team, not freaking Memphis in Memphis.

 

[Rods79]

Yeah, tell Liberty we were there last time and want something new...plus KState and West Virginia “beat” us. Defer to Cactus.

 

[TBT]

Listening to college football analysts support Memphis if ISU goes to the Liberty will be no different than listening to the chode choking from CBB pundits when ISU played against Nevada.

Literally a no-win scenario. I'd rather play UNI again.

 

[isuno1fan]

ABSOLUTE BARF!

WILL BE COMPLETE AND UTTER BS IF WE PLAY MEMPHIS IN MEMPHIS. F THAT!

And it’s 11:30 am. Ugh.

 

[Rogue52]

Pollard selling our fan base that Liberty means more practice time when everyone is limited to the same number of practices and technically Memphis will get more because they played in their conference championship is the most Pollard thing ever.

I may be delusional but I think TCU still goes NY6. So worst case, I hold out hope for Orlando till the last second.

 

[KennyPratt42]

For reference, West Virginia played in the Liberty Bowl in 2014 and K-State did in 2015.

 

[clonehenge]

This is just like the time ISU went to the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise to play Boise St. That didn't go well.

You are (no offense intended).

Offer them truckloads of leftover Chizik coins?

Welp...

 

[CyGuy5]

Even if TCU was simply competetive we would have a decent shot at Orlando. Instead, they got blown out

We will see but TCU's performance today (lack of) probably didn't help matters any. Other than maybe Washington I don't know who else could jump them though so they still might stay in it.

 

[CloneGuy8]

I'm still holding out hope for the Texas bowl
