How do you feel about playing Georgia?

[SpreadsheetAg]

IF ISU were selected over aTm, how do you feel about playing Georgia? From what I understand Auburn is going to the Outback...

UK to Music City as Rivals says Georgia to Independence John Clay’s Sidelines

Update at 5:20 p.m. Tom Leach says Rivals reporting that Georgia will go to Independence Bowl. That all but confirms that UK will go to Music City.

It would be a great opportunity to take down a great SEC team but after that beatdown they put on GT, its awfully scary!

I think that would be a match up that our fan base could sink our teeth in to. To bad we are going to Houston....

Agreed, but I think we'd get destroyed.

Would love it! I went to the UGA Kentucky game at Sanford and if we played mistake free we could make a game of it. Martinez is basically gone along with some of the other coaches at UGA (Richt is safe). The win at tech was very unexpected but they still want people fired.

Hate, hate, hate, hate the idea...

They beat #7 Georgia Tech this past weekend..

Almost Beating Alabama in the '01 Independence Bowl was GREAT. (and yes we did beat them, that FG was Good - watch the replay).

That game set up a Great '02 run that got ISU to #9 in the Polls. Everyone thought Alababama was going to smack us around and ISU ended up smacking Alababma around.

I think this team and this coaching staff is ready for a good opponent. NAVY will be very tough, but I would also like to see us match up vs Georgia.

I agree I just didn't wanna be the first one to say it! :wink:

Georgia would be pretty comparable, in my mind, to Alabama when we played them in the Independence Bowl. I think a win would be tough, but huge. Why the hell not? Bring on them Bulldogs!

 

[cyclonepower]

I would love a shot at Georgia, send us to Shreveport baby!

 

[cyclonenate]

Sounds fun, but dont like our chances

 

[ajk4st8]

Georgia has been really up and down. I think they have had some injuries (Green was out for some time wasnt he?)

 

[jdoggivjc]

I think we've faced worse bowl matchups, such as TCU in Houston and Boise St in Boise. We'd probably be pretty large dogs, but if there's one thing comforting it's that Georgia statistically is entirely average. Let's just say I'd much rather face Georgia than South Carolina.

 

[ajk4st8]

The game atmosphere with Georgia would be one of the best (if not the best) in recent ISU bowl history.

Playing an SEC team > Playing Navy. And yes thats even if we get killed.

Hate, hate, hate, hate the idea...

:no:

 

[ajk4st8]

With many weeks to prepare.... that can be a great equalizer in bowl games.

ISU would be thrilled to play an SEC team. I can't imagine Georgia too excited to play ISU.

Lots of reasons to think the game could at least be close. SEC football is where its at.

I really really hope that we can make this bowl.

 

[isuno1fan]

What about South Carolina? Could be them as well.

 

[ISU_Alum_2000]

I think it would be a great opportunity for Iowa State. I would love that matchup.

A loss would be expected.
A win would be a great building block.
The recruiting exposure would be outstanding.

Wherever we go is great and I'll be excited no matter what but I'd prefer not to play an SEC team for this year anyway. I really, really hope we still get a shot at Minnesota but I know that's getting less likely. If not, then I hope we end up in Houston taking on Navy. The biggest thing on my mind is to finish this season with a winning record.
