Gophers draw Iowa State at the Insight.com Bowl

Back to Tempe again - for the Southwestern equivalent of the 'Music City Bowl' versus the Iowa State Cyclones and Cy the Cardinal. That's what 6-6 gets you. And Michigan State gets to go to beautiful San Antonio for the Alamo Bowl, despite having the same record as us, and losing to us head-to-head. Yeah, their conference record was 4-4 to our 3-5, but then they didn't have to play Ohio State either. Guess Spartan fans travel better.

Oh well, I'm not sure I wanted a rematch with Texas Tech in a bowl again anyways. The draw of Iowa State seems much more palatable a team to play in our bowl game. Now to be honest, I don't know much about Cyclone football aside from they play in the Big 12 North, and Seneca Wallace played for them circa 2002. So, I'll be doing a little research over the next few weeks. Stay tuned for usual pre-game preview.
