Don't donate? Don't show up except after losses. Do nothing but instigate turmoil?
U got issues mall cop. Whatever pathetic sheltered life you live please stay there.
Or you can just look at your posting history. Show me your last positive post about Iowa State Athletics. You would think all the dumb posts you have accumulated in the last 48 hours would have had an effect. Unfortunately you are still here.

This is one of the dumbest posts I've ever seen on CF. And trust me, I've seen a lot.

there's no difference between the "liberty bowl" and "fiesta bowl" -- it's literally just sponsors and locations

There is a huge difference between the Liberty and Fiesta Bowl. Namely, viewers and prestige. Sponsors and location are a part of it, but a small part. The biggest part is having ESPN or FOX or whoever showcasing your name in this "awesome" upcoming game all holiday season long.

fox/espn/conferences could negotiate a new contract to put better matchups in the liberty bowl than the fiesta bowl and perceived "bowl prestige" would go away almost instantly

i.e. the chick-fil-a bowl was not perceived as a super amazing bowl, but now it's a cfb semi-final location as the peach bowl

my point was the game isn't about the location or the sponsor -- it's about the matchup, competition, and beating your opponent

it's about the process baby

That is true, it really just depends on the "ranking" of the bowl that year.

It does seem like the Liberty has stepped up since we played ******* Tulsa. Seems they do their best to have B12 vs. SEC.

Was kind of a crappy draw to play Memphis, but it did guarantee a sellout for that game.

I don't mind Memphis being cold I just wish there was more to do around the area during the daytime/other days.
