After Missouri's narrow victory over KU, ISU has secured a Big 12 Bowl Berth. The question now is where are they going?
In short, I think it's between Shreveport and Houston. Originally, I thought Texas A&M was a lock for Houston, but after a strong showing against Texas along with their devoted fan base, I can see how how they would go to a better bowl than ISU...
Here's how I think the bowls will go:
BCS: Texas
Cotton: Nebraska
Holiday: Oklahoma State
Alamo: Oklahoma/Texas Tech
Sun: Texas Tech/Oklahoma
Insight: Missouri
Independence:Texas A&M/ISU
Texas: ISU/Texas A&M
It's all politics from here. I was wishing for Insight, but happy with a bowl regardless. Kind of hard to be complaining in my opinion. Even if Nebraska beats Texas, I am not sure that I see ISU going anywhere higher than Independence. Just nice to know that I won't be dragging the wife out to Boise in late December!

Thankful for a Bowl Game!
I am also thankful for a Bowl Game! As a graduating ISU student, I was really emotional at the last home game of the season. To think that it may be the last time I am a season ticket holder for Cyclone Football in for quite awhile, is quite sad. I am very excited that the season has been extended, and going out on such a GREAT note such as Bowl Game. Wherever we end up, I hope to see a huge Cyclone crowd!!!! GO CYCLONES!!!
Independence is looking like the one
When the bowl chatter first began, people were looking at ISU heading for the Texas Bowl. However, with Texas A&M in the running for that one, the powers that be probably won’t let a homestate team slip through the cracks. That’s fine with me, I would feel kind of guilty for defeating two branches of the military in one season.
Also, Mark, I was kind of hoping to go to Boise. I want to see that turf in person.
Rumor has it Alex Brown keeps Chris Simms' right index finger in his back pocket for good luck.
