It will be announced before the selection show on Sunday.

I really think that playing UT can push for a sellout for a couple reasons. UNT already sells big numbers by just being good and playing a bowl game in DFW. So we have done 40k before, why cant we do 45-50k with a match-up against a school like UT or Texas Tech? Either of those two schools both have a lot of alumni in the DFW Area. UT can easily bring 45k to the cotton bowl. It would also be a "home bowl" for them too as they already play in the cotton bowl once a year. Tech will still bring north of 30-35k, but I really think Texas-UNT would bring close to a sellout. Even casual football fans will go to a game like this because it will be two Texas schools duking it out. The Alamo Bowl does best when Texas plays in it against whomever from the PAC-12.

MEAN GREEN 52 Kiffin U- 41

David Bailiff at Rice will be fired today. Rice also has a few recruit commitments that UNT should go after. Four 3* listed.

They do this every year, I am sure the bowl has a company with a contract to do two teams worth.

Just makes me wonder if UAB was happy just to be in a bowl or if they were forced there. I would have thought they would try and get the Birmingham bowl. Also thought a team at 6-6 like MTSU, WKU, La Tech or UTSA would be forced to travel to the Bahamas. That being said, anyone from mid Alabama would welcome the reason to travel to the Bahamas because they live in Alabama....

I thought there were 78 bowl slots?

That P Casey guy also thinks they have a chance to play Texas Tech in a bowl game because it means national exposure for them. He thinks their 3-0 start should carry some weight lol.

It’s quite tasty

Does that mean he loses a season of eligibility?

What happened to Anthony Wyche?

Is he going to be better than the one UTSA hired?

Someone should ask George Dunham to show up :)

The Famous Potatoes Bowl that’s played at Boise St. has had Boise St. several times and the tie in is a MAC team but again, it would be a MAC team with a similar record as whoever respresents from the MWC.

Let’s say the Idaho Bowl was up for grabs and Boise finished 10-3 with a conference title and Idaho finished 6-6 but qualified. No way they would swap for that matchup, even thought it will probably sell out the stadium and then some. Confence standings and record does matter.

But look who we have played in those. Army was a 7-5 team that people were wondering if they would make a bowl. We were the 5-7 team who shouldn’t have been in. Both of those teams last year were some of the last to be placed. Good conference teams get good conference bowls against a team with a good record In their perspective conference, assuming that both are G5 or P5. You won’t see a 10-2 CUSA team play a 6-6 AAC team just because that matchup will bring fans. You will see 6-6 vs a similar record like 7-5 from two G5 schools. If you bring in a P5, then a lower P5 vs high G5 is what you get in that rare instance. 2013 is a bad example because we got our bowl bid we wanted but there wasn’t a Big 10 or Big 12 team available to play us so we got stuck with UNLV. No way that they should have played us but that’s who we got stuck with.

@Harry can we get the two hands amen/hallelujah icon added to the up-vote?

I've seen a lot of our guys jawing up to the other team and not doing anything. Especially so with Corners and Receivers. Seems like we are getting in their heads in that regard.

They can look at the scoreboards from when we beat them.... Sucks to suck for them.

Conference standings and record. Fan turnout and distance are secondary measures.

I wish I could put 100 trophies on this one!

Is he another Taulefa? Wanted to go to UNT and didnt offer? Or did we shut him down one year and he wanted revenge? Either way, I'm glad he is going to the NFL so we dont have to see him again.
