It seems that the departure of Gene Chizik did Iowa State some good. The Cyclones managed just five wins over the last two seasons, but went 6-6 this year. While they only went 3-5 in conference play, things are clearly headed in the right direction.

I’ve got Time Warner, so I won’t be watching this one, unfortunately. I suppose I could go watch it at a bar, but given how mediocre the teams are, I don’t see that happening.

It does have the potential to be an entertaining, leave-the-defense-at-home type game. Not unlike last night’s Holiday Bowl. The wife is working (being ER means you miss holidays regularly), so maybe I’ll go watch it somewhere.
