Could Iowa State go bowling at 5-7?
- Thread starter cyIclSoneU
- Start date
'80 and '81 teams also had strong starts and stumbled down the stretch.
I think depth has always been a big contributor.
I think it's been seen as an advantage by the team/coaches for a long time so long as it was a lower-tier deal. I feel like someone on CF (curt?) said that even when he went, many practices were for the younger players to get reps and starters got rest.
Maybe the fans didn't really think much of it until we started seeing SO many bowls that had little value otherwise.
You should go to practice today and tell the players this.
you take it for extra practices.
looks bad on the surface, but who the hell cares.

That's sort of different, they looked really, really, good and collapsed at the end of the season.
Ended up with a losing record after the bowl.
Personally I always dislike when sub-500 teams go bowling. Its neat for the programs and the kids and I'd watch but personally, when teams under 500 go bowling - not that there needed to be another sign but its another sign that we have too many bowl games
You take the game. I am not sure why there is even a debate.

Google 'US Inflation' - I'm sure that will clear things up for you.
If anything the economy is doing too well. Overheating, including record employment.
I think we will win our home games and make it 6-6 with a slight chance of 7-5 since I think we are due a shocking upset. We do seem to play OkSt better on the road than home. I'm just happy with bowl games since we didn't get many before CMC. At 5-7 you know we will be playing some 6-6 Mac school that we rip apart and bring home a Detroit auto parts trophy home. Always nice to win a bowl.
They've lost their luster a bit, but still, as someone mentioned, it's nice to get to watch your team one last time in the midst of winter. Good experience for those on the team that need the extra reps.
