GOPHERS/CYCLONES HAVE DESERT INSIGHT
Iowa State vs. Minnesota INSIGHT BOWL December 31, 2009 ASU Sun Devil Stadium Tempe, AZ Separated by just over 200 miles, Iowa State and Minnesota will travel roughly the same distance to the Insight Bowl in Tempe, Ariz. The journey was significantly longer for the Cyclones. One year removed from a 10-loss season, Iowa State is set to play in its first postseason game in four years when it faces the Golden Gophers at Sun Devil Stadium on Dec. 31. The Cyclones (6-6) seem to be one of the more unlikely recipients of a bowl invitation following last season’s debacle. Iowa State dropped its final 10 games and was outscored by an average of 19.8 points in eight Big 12 losses. Things appeared to get even worse when Coach Gene Chizik left for Auburn just weeks after the season ended. The Golden Gophers (6-6) are making their third Insight Bowl appearance in four years. They lost to Kansas 42-21 last season and dropped a 44-41 overtime game to Texas Tech in 2006. Despite the close proximity between Iowa State and Minnesota and the intense rivalry each school has with Iowa, this will be the first meeting between these programs since the Gophers’ 53-29 victory at the Metrodome in 1997. Minnesota leads the series 22-2-1 and hasn’t lost to the Cyclones since 1898, yet they’ve only met twice since 1924. For more information and ticket sales visit www.insightbowl.com
