If the Hoks go to the Rose Bowl to play Oregon, the trolls will yammer about what a really tough opponent the Ducks are.What a difference a year makes.
oh you know they will. Utah already squelched that

My feeling is you always want to play up in a bowl game. Elevation by association. A win is the icing.

When was the last time a Campbell team played in a lopsided game?
Selfishly, I just want another trophy to add to the case. You don’t want to end the season on a downer- like getting beat up by Notre Dame. Aesthetically, the Texas Bowl trophy is much more impressive than the Cheezit trophy anyways. Plus we’d be the only game on TV January 4th. Great advertising opportunity.
How about last time we were in the Cheez-It (then Camping World) bowl.
Last Friday?

Yeah, my argument falls apart if people consider a 7 point game lopsided.
One point to consider is thay we should be as healthy as we have been all year. Clemson most likely wont be running up the points on offense.
You said game, not loss. ISU's last lopsided game was the 34 point win last Friday vs. TCU! Hence, the / sarcasm.

Yeah. I am not saying it couldnt be lopsided, but for people to assume it will be is juat ludicrous.
Bowl games can be weird and who knows who will all sit out but if we do play Clemson I do think we will be playing Clemson at their peak this season. They seem to have hit their stride the last month or so.
Would be a fun challenge though for us.

Clemson is going to show up with an attitude.
They will be preparing for another Championship run next year.
It will not be fun for whoever they play.
cause I'd rather feel good about going 8-5 and beating a 9 win NC state team that beat Clemson rather than potentially getting trucked and stomped by an elite defense?
Im good with whoever and will be up for whoever but from a matchup stand point? yeah, give me someone else. anyone else. because that defense - the only reason they lost to Georgia was they thru a pick 6,. and they're offense is getting better and their defense hasn't regressed much if at all.

completely agree. Clemson is going to be angry and pissed off and will most likely be looking to make an example of whoever they play.
Getting beat could also make us more hungry to work harder in the off season. Clemson is a good measuring stick to see if we've improved ourselves from the ND game.
Feel like the players would want to go against Clemson, especially the seniors. So I’m with the players. Would get a ton of exposure for a non-major bowl too with Clemson.
Too many of y'all sound like you'd rather play the University of North Texas (6-6) just so we could get a bowl win, and an 8-5 season. Like this ISU team is crap, and isn't very good.
On the contrary... Despite our 7-5 record, this is still a very good football team. And I'm sure they'd rather face Clemson. And it would be a great matchup and a close game, I can almost bet on that. I'd much rather have the chance to beat a name brand.
If we wanted a better record, we had plenty of chances during the season. It is what it is. Now it's bowl season. One game. Let's get it. Clemson.
