Not reading all this but just skimming there's a whole lot of crazy in this thread.
Liberty Bowl postgame thread
- Thread starter Cyclonepride
- Start date
While things seem to be trending back in the right direction with this program, and it looks like we should have a winning team next year, I think we have learned with Campbell so far that his teams that have high expectations typically fall short. A winning season next year is far from a slam dunk, even with the favorable schedule. Can Campbell finally break the mold and meet or exceed expectations with next year's team? I really hope so. Time will tell.
Iowa loss wasn’t embarrassing. Ohio loss was largely due to key players playing football while having a stomach illness. Team didn’t perform well yesterday, but a mid level bowl game is pretty meaningless
We were hoodwinked on the play, no doubt. The play will be illustrated in coaching circles for some time. I guess legal it was, but Jaws makes a good point.
Yeah but no - I’m only interested in ISU’s brand.
Many bowl winners already have significant national recognition in football, while ISU is still working to establish such, and losing when heavily favored isn’t beneficial.
If you're only interested in ISU's brand could that be a reason to maybe branch out to notice how insignificant yesterday's game was?
You may be right, especially as you were there? Anyway, it didn't seem that much.
IIRC, Scates left with good things to say about ISU, no grudge or anything. Most everything I've seen in this game, he was treated with respect by ISU, and he did the same to us. They are playing football, things can be said, his guy was down, etc.
Yes, the game officially counts. But in the grand scheme, it’s a mid level bowl game to end a season. It’s not like the NCAA basketball tournament. It’s a game thrown together with the purpose of the sponsor to make $$ and for the hosting town to attract tourist to make $$
So yes, while it actually counts in the stats and records, it’s really an exhibition game, which is why you will see players sit the game out

Might just be talking **** to former teammates like they probably did in practice when they played together.
The fraternity runs deep.
Question: Who had more misery here, Oklahoma, Ohio State or Missouri? Thought provoking.
Same. I stayed with it the whole game. We had some good moments, mostly from Rocco and the WR's (definitely not running game or defense).
We got into too big of a hole and couldn't make stops when we needed to.
That’s a ****** thing to do with his coaches and players.
I’m not sure why you all think he finds yesterday acceptable unless he says it to the fans.
Maryland's brand beat Auburn's brand in palindromatic fashion in a meaningless exhibition.....nobody watching. No young high school athletes, no future recruits. everything is awesome.
Does the Cyclone marching band have a brand? not a violent brand like other in-state bands I hope.
You think recruits care about the outcome of a mid to low tier bowl game?
