Some thoughts on the bowl destination...

Ok full disclosure: I don't know anything. Nobody does.

However, with Oklahoma likely doing to the Playoff, Iowa State (and every other Big 12 team) will move up in the bowl game pecking order.

We knew this was a possibility heading into the weekend but even with that, the information we had gotten pointed towards Memphis, Houston or Phoenix. Jamie Pollard has gone on the record with this.

I'm just speculating here but am not 100 percent it's that simple. From what I understand, the Camping World Bowl vs. Notre Dam could still very much be in play.

Texas will end up in the Alamo. Oklahoma State went to Orlando two years ago.

So it's Iowa State or Kansas State, another fan base that traditionally travels very well.

But is it really a slam dunk that Orlando will take K-State over ISU? Or is JP attempting to keep expectations low for the fan base that surely won't be crazy about going back to Memphis?

It's certainly possible. But take it from a guy who is planning to host another bowl charter this year, I'm not banking on it. I'm anxious for tomorrow because I think an Iowa State vs. Notre Dame matchup in the Camping World Bowl still has a bit of life.

If not Orlando, then who knows. I still think it could be any of the other three, depending on a lot of behind the scene stuff going on that I have no clue about.

Stay tuned.

Regardless, if you're thinking about traveling, get on our email list and we'll have information out as soon as possible tomorrow afternoon regarding the trip.

Iowa/Iowa St.

Just watched the Iowa vs Michigan game. Couple thoughts/questions concerning the upcoming game. I do think it will be a good game. If we can hit the outside shot, we should win. However, if the officials let them play, like they did in the Michigan game, we could be in for a long night. Garza should have been in foul trouble early on but they would not call it. He pushes off, hooks people, and backs into players all the time. In the NBA, he would be fine, but in college it should be a foul! He reminds me of Adam "poke in the eye" Woodbury. Are the officials in this game Big 10, Big 12, or neutral? I know in football, the traveling teams conference does the officiating. I just hope they call it tight...both ways!

Haliburton: Not sayin' just sayin'

Tyrese for Big 12 POY? Doesn't seem impossible if he can keep up this production, which will undoubtedly go down some but he's pretty historic right now.

At this point he is

#5 in PPG: 16.1
#1 in APG: 8.6 (next 6.9)
#1 in SPG: 3.0
#5 in PER: 28.9
#1 in Win Shares: 1.8

Only four PG's have won in the history of the Big 12, Tinsley, Marcus Smart, Frank Mason, and Devonte Graham. their #'s?

Tinsley: 14.3 PPG, 6 APG, 2.5 SPG
Smart: 15.4 PPG, 4.2 APG, and 3.0 SPG
Mason: 20.9 PPG, 5.2 APG, 1.3 SPG
Graham: 17.3 PPG, 7.2 APG, 1.6 SPG

Now, I understand it's a long shot. We won't win as much as those Kansas teams. Historically, PG's don't win it, but TH is putting up some pretty insane #'s right now. He's got a better chance of being Pierre Jackson, putting up crazy #'s and not winning it. Just want to put in perspective his performance so far.
