Incarnate Word?!?

[99topdawg]

How do they get by playing a high school team?

Because they're also a high school team?

 

[ModebaSan]

My bold prediction! Incarnate Word beats ISU!

I am finding an Incarnate Word shirt and going to that game.....what an embarrassment for the clowns.

WORD ! There will be plenty of tix available. We need a WORD caravan.

Too bad couldn't get a bunch of Iowa fans in for that one and do the I O W A chant in their house.

I'm in, or even a "W-O-R-D" would work. The funny thing is looking in on this on cyclownfanatic, clown fans are really proud of Jamie P. for finding another game. No standards.

 

[Hawk1960]

Clown's theory is this ... sticks and stones may break my bones, but Word will never hurt me.

lets say Iowa State only has 4 wins on the season and even winning the Incarnate Word game won't make them bowl eligible. Do they still play the game? Who the F would go to that worthless meaningless game in December?

5-7 gets you to a bowl. See Nebraksa

Sounds like they had multiple other attempts shot down by the NCAA so basically take what you can get. They would have beat SDSU and they'll beat this team so I see it as a wash

 

[SteveGarvey1]

Pollard was probably waiting to see if ISU beat Iowa before making the call to IW. Doing the math and looking at the upcoming sched, he's thinking 5-6 by 12/1 is a strong possibility.

How do they select which 5-7 team to invite to a bowl game again? Graduation rate or something? Yeah maybe that's not in ISU's favor.

 

[westender]

How many fans if in the stands for that one if they are 4 - 7 or even if they already have their 6th win going into it? We shall see how devoted that fan base is since they claim to be such. If only 4 - 7 the could probably just have one side of stadium closed off and a few hot dog stations open for food.

 

[Hawk1960]

This could set up to be a classic match-up and marketed as ... the Incarnate vs. the Incarcerated ... like the Catholics vs. Convicts matchup years ago with Notre Dame and Miami.

 

[THawk122]

Basically, ISU just schedualed a games against Rutgers

 

[NCHawker]

I guess they couldn't make it work with Grinnell, St. Ambrose, Lorras

 

[WinOneThisCentury]

Tell me baby now what's the Word? LAME.

 

[Stanzi]

Incarnate Word is D3 right? I'm surprised that's even allowed.

 

[kwah]

Pollard iniatially wanted to play non scholarship Drake. Is Incarnated Word a step up or a step down in competition?

 

[AreWeThereYet]

If they were smart, Iowa State would have played them in San Antonio. Without attracting any media or fan attention. At a night game. With the lights turned off.

 

[EstronHawkKing]

they get $300.000 for coming to Ames for this one

 

[HaydenHawk56]

 

[AreWeThereYet]

Liberty University and Oral Roberts apparently weren't available, or too risky

Liberty is quite a bit better than Incarnate Word, and Oral Roberts doesn't have a football team. Sagarin has Incarnate Word rated 228 out of 256 division I teams, two steps above Drake.

Your vote is needed. Get out and vote or you can't complain! Hilarious this is even a thing plus the comments on this one are pretty good, too.
