This is actually a replacement for the RedBox Bowl that was to be held in Cali. The organizers decided to drop it early this year, so this is actually just bringing up the number is bowls to the number expected at the start of the year.

No one pretends the vast majority of these bowls mean anything important. But it’s fun for fans and fun for the players. Who cares.

Vaccinated doesn’t mean you can’t get COVID. Just like the flu vaccine doesn’t mean you can’t get the flu. But I can tell you, as a fully vaccinated person who later got COVID, the symptoms are far less severe…and that is the point

I don't care who we play and I don't care where we play. Just win.

Tim Crouch Voice “Fans, welcome to the 2021 Buc-ee’s Bowl, played for the first time at Apogee Stadium in Denton.”

Yep. We agreed on a set percentage of estimated sales that I based on the last time I sold shirts, and this price. Also if there are more sales than we expect, we’ll do another deal. If fewer, he still gets the estimated cash. Win-win for him. I’m not trying to burn any bridges or hurt a fellow NT guy.

Apogee Bowl?

~ha no, that is Torrey~. I misread this. No, that is a generic model from the printer. Also the signature is his. Also yes, we priced it a bit high so I could make sure DT gets some cash.

It was a blast on Saturday watching UTSA know exactly what we were going to do and be entirely unable to stop it.

If you can run it up the middle for 4 yards without fail, why bother passing? Balance isn't necessary, but if you're playing people that are pretty close to as good as you are, it helps to be a threat on various parts of the field. Gives you more options to manipulate space and matchups.

Make that the "TEXAS OIL BOWL".

I guess my point is this new bowl will be no less relevant than the already completely irrelevant bowls we have spent our entire history playing in. This allows the NCAA to get Hawaii into that bowl, which is their preference. My position has always been that 6-6 teams should get the 13th game to end the year a relative winner or loser. Sometimes people act like the proliferation of bowls devalues the bowls. That’s incorrect. There are a few bowls that have value. And the rest largely don’t. How many get added to the second category doesn’t matter.

DT is MGN's first NIL athlete. Got his official signature on some merchandise. https://meangreennation.com/product/torrey-shrug/

Lifer, don't go cheap on us now!

OMG - THIS IS THE ONE. Thank you for your service and leadership, WB. Godspeed, sir!

It’s a violation of NIL policy to put any UNT marks trademarks on it. Can’t say who owns #GMG or anything but I didn’t want to get anyone in trouble for it. I was going to put the score, but I liked the sig best. Reminds me of those old school 90s shirts I had of my fave athletes.

Was really looking forward to this one. Nevada is a good program. I was sure we’d end up playing UNT Dallas but they are already booked.

I've got this.

I, for one, am glad. Regardless of who was to win, we were going to have a covid outbreak ourselves. Better to cancel one non-conference game than to deal with that. And yes, like it or not, it is the world we live in now.

not just a tee-shirt. But one featuring the likeness of DeAndre Torrey, and featuring his stylized signature. And also the one that put cash in his pocket! 😉

That's how NIL works. There will eventually be $100 (or more) tshirts etc depicting star players and eventually recruits at the Elite programs.

Hell, that's easy to counteract. Recruit: "Hey Coach, So-in-so from State U said you only have a year left on your contract and that I shouldn't sign here. Is that true?" Coach: "Son, you ever heard of Lincoln Riley or Brian Kelly? They had years left on their contracts at OU and ND, and where are they now?"

Hell, play UTA again. They were supposed to host Nevada on Tuesday.

Wow! Sounds like we should fire Seth either way and not have a head coach at all! Would save a ton of money! Now, I'm just speculating here. But I know that the two don't cross over that much, but could the basketball team's defensive effort over the past few years have been the real inspiration for our defensive turnaround? I mean that's a wren hire too! Maybe we don't even need Phil? Additionally... Is it just a coincidence that the team went on a win streak after hearing about the move to the AAC? I know you're thinking it, so I'll say it... In 2025 we introduce the AAC as our new football coach!

🤔 So being balanced is not how you win Consistently unless you are running the triple option like one of the service academies? 🙄

I see the blinders are on several of y’all. Unable to see the entire body of work & drunk on this win. Let’s get through the Bowl game before talking about bringing Littrell back.

Heard game is cancelled. 100% Vaccinated and still have to cancel a game. SMDH!!

40 bucks for a tee shirt?

I'll hang up and listen!

But everyone is “vaccinated”.
