Certainly didn’t hear this much props about Fine and his 4,000+ passing yards during our bowl game...Hicks this, Hicks that, blah blah blah

LaTech is not getting any respect, these broadcasters are in love with Dykes and SMU... haven’t hear a word about Holtz nor what he’s done, their program, how well they’re playing, etc. SMU is loosing by almost 40 points and all they can talk about is how great SMU is...

Reality? The season was fantastic - any season in which you can go 9-4 and to a bowl is an awesome season. Let's have multiple seasons like this one. For the cost of a few tickets and the atmosphere, you can't beat Apogee - what a successful season to go undefeated at home! How about 9- win and 10- win seasons through 2022...hope they don't increase the price of those tickets too much...really enjoy the scenery at Apogee... GMG

I wonder what Arkansas's non-conference record is at home over the last five- or ten- seasons? I think it's a long shot...If the spread is 28+ I'll take that bet.

Let's see how his staff recruits linemen this off-season, we need to win some recruiting battles against some of these other programs for physical linemen...Troy's linemen looked much more physical on both sides of the ball, need to recruit more physical players

Fine is one tough football player. Didn't see him react in any negative way towards his offensive line. I don't know if I would have had as much composure...we were certainly out played up front...after every play there was a player or two helping him scrape himself off the turf...we need a better effort up front, that's an understatement - hope Fine isn't damaged permanently...

Adam Rittenberg writes "Morris has guided SMU to bowl eligibility for the first time, but he isn't chasing championships like UCF's Scott Frost, Memphis' Mike Norvell, Boise State's Bryan Harsin, Arkansas State's Blake Anderson, Troy's Neal Brown or Toledo's Jason Candle...Should it excuse his 14-22 record with the Mustangs? Not completely. But Morris might be the rare candidate who simply needed to lead a college program before leading a bigger college program, rather than a coach who needed to flourish at the former to leapfrog to the latter."

Uh...

Let's see how this helps with recruiting now, especially in our own backyard.

I'm out

Really?

This color guy's panties are soaked over Lane

You'd think we didn't prepare for this game at all...

This color commentator is terrible, talk about Captain Obvious...

...and now Wheeler is down...

It's a let-down to return to New Orleans again and play anyone from the Sun Belt in a bowl game...seems like this team is primed to beat someone from a bigger conference on a somewhat national stage, shame to go head-to-head with a lower tier conference...however, New Orleans is a fun city, really enjoyed those trips, although I haven't visited there since Katrina...let's put together a few winning seasons and see what bowls are available then, Dodgeball and McCarney really impacted our program in a bad way, still have some work to do.

Will try to roll on by, daughter has cheer and son has basketball, dividing and conquering...why are all these extra curricular activities scheduling events on championship saturday? where did all these folks graduate from?

I'm a big fan of the pink taco...too much?

Yeah, sure, okay - winner of the Conference USA playoff game wins best CUSA bowl invite. Winner, winner chicken dinner, I don't think so, winner winner Sheen dinner...#winning

fbsschedules.com has our tentative '18 OOC schedule as: vs. SMU (love it), vs. Incarnate Word (is it blasphemous if we dominate them?), @ Arkansas (big opportunity here), and @ Liberty (...). Could our Mean Green start 2018 at 3-1 or better headed into conference play?

ESPN's "The Eliminator: The fall of the College Football Playoff pretenders", has the North Texas Mean Green as being eliminated from the CFP in Week 2...wait, is ESPN saying that if we would have beaten SMU we would have been a potential CFP team after Week 2? What if we had beaten Iowa? Wonder what week we would have been eliminated... How many bowl eligible teams have we beaten this season? Need to go undefeated next year, see where we land in the bigger picture...

Hey, as long as these schools don’t increase tuition...wait, what?

Well, we also have a great up-and-coming offensive coordinator whose goal is to be a collegiate head coach in Graham Harrell. From what I read, Littrell believes in Harrell whole heartily. We've got some great coaching assets in our program. Let's consider the glass half-full.

Wonder how another New Orleans bowl experience would be, post Katrina? Love that city. I remember during the bowl win over Cincinnati we stayed at the hotel Anne Rice frequented down in the French Quarter, surreal and the history...

ESPN's Chris Low writes "In just one season, Kiffin has orchestrated a complete transformation of an FAU football program that was running on embalming fluid before the Lane Train pulled into Boca Raton. The Owls have gone from three straight 3-9 seasons to unbeaten in Conference USA play. Their eight wins match the most in the program's 13-year history as an FBS school." Our conference championship game on Boca is huge. A lot of eyes will be on this game. This is a must-win for the Mean Green. Avenge our loss to FAU and perception of North Texas and our program should really change. Let's win this one.
