The Waiting Game

With Kansas' loss to Missouri, ISU is assured a bowl berth. It looks like either Shreveport or Houston unless a Nebraska upset over Texas occurs (Insight then). Most have all signs pointing to Shreveport. Word of mouth through a donor at the basketball game tonight says Pollard is on record as saying the INDY bowl wants TAMU not ISU. This might be a result of their strong showing against Texas. It is still up in the air, but at least it is not up in the air as to if the Cyclones will go or not. A year ago today I was not thinking of a bowl game this year, so I am not going to complain about which bowl ISU goes to or does not go to. At this point I would like to go to Houston for selfish reasons and I don't need to lose money in Shreveport at the casinos. The biggest impact of this bowl berth is the extra month of practice for the Cyclones. It will be huge for the players in the first year of new schemes. Look for them to be really prepared against whoever, whenever they play. Their opponent will be just as prepared, but it certainly will be fun to see ISU bowling around the holidays!
