Oh, HELL no. No way in hell Utah brings near as many people as UNT. Give me a P5 opponent, or give me death!

GO MEAN GREEN!

A fourth game against Army in two years doesn't do anything for us.  The Team feels a DFW bowl doesn't do anything for them.

Let's get behind our team and start booking some hotels.

I keep seeing posts that we should and deserve to be playing a P5...to me I want a bowl game that we can win.  I'd rather win a bowl game vs a G5 than lose to P5.  Winning is winning and it'll always feel sweet regardless of opponent.  I'm by no means saying/assuming we will win our bowl game against a fellow G5 by any means but I think if we played a P5 and get rocked into submission it would look a lot worse especially to the fringe fans that we're trying to get interested next season and seasons forward.

In addition to this we all know that everyone tries to get away from scheduling P5's against G5's.  Just the way it is folks...no matter how much we may want one I just don't think it's super realistic we'd get it no matter how hard we try.

New Orleans bowl is a slap in the face to UNT and C-USA!!! UNT deserved to play a P5 somewhere!! If it's the HUD, Independence,  so be it. 

This should be motivating factor for UNT players to beat FAU!!

I can easily make a trip  to NO but why, to play a Sunbelt team!!

Not playing a P5 team or at least ACC team will give Seth L. a perfect reason to leave UNT ASAP!!!

Book it. Take that bet to your local bookie, place bet, cashout, and retire!!!

He has So Miss playing FSU in the Independance Bowl. Says FSU is lobbying for Gasparilla in St. Pete. He has FAU playing USF in Gasparilla. Why not have FSU swap with USF for the Independance Bowl and have UNT play where with So Miss playing in NOLA. Happy for our players, but it’s a 2 week turnaround for a team that is playing in a conference championship. Really hope he is wrong. I’ll be there either way. If we do beat FAU, I’d love to play FSU in St. Pete or Shreveport. USF would be a nice consolation prize if we lose to FAU. Not the Sun Belt in the very first bowl game of the season.

Positives:

1).  Great trip for the players, awesome town to party in for the fans.  Believe me, I've been 4 times.  It's a blast.

2).  Saturday game means more fans can get to game; don't have to miss work

3).  Earlier start date means we will be one of the first games people can watch after the season

4).  You can get really good deals on nice hotels as it is a slow time of the season

5).  Easy cheap flight in on SWA or you can even drive

So this is a lock whether we win or lose against FAU? I know you are in the know.

 

And NOBODY is griping about the bowl we are headed to, they are griping about the opponent. It screams #olddenton

      I'm very surprised of his offer list based off his personal stats and film. I hope grades is not an issue. Congrats to all.

      I’m OK with the Eagle/Texas, just OK with it. But I wished it was like the floor of the Pit where the eagle is larger and goes outside the state border. That emphasizes the Eagle. As it is now, my brain sees Texas first, and that’s not good branding.

      This user just now posted about a new idea that just popped into the ol' noggin for the marketing department to take a look at:

      Idea for new uniform design

      Howdy! So, this user recently saw the hockey uniforms being discussed, and had a thought: What if the football uniforms (and perhaps basketball and even others as well) riff on these with the 'Mean Green Texas Flag' either on the shoulder pads (in the same direction, of course) AND/OR on the helmets....but, here's the caveat: the 'Eagle' logo takes flight and retires to the nest for a short period, and is replaced with an Eagle 'beak', made out of the aforementioned 'Mean Green Texas Flag' design? The hockey uniforms show that the flag design almost looks like an eagle's head already....so....why not go all the way with it and pull a [insert college team with bird-of-prey as a mascot here, like Southern Miss or Iowa] and assert that 'this team represents ALL of Texas' and concerns over having an abstract nickname with an unrelated mascot are alleviated, because it's less 'eagle-eagle' and more 'Mean Green' of North Texas. Traditionalists who wish to remember the Eagle are still appeased at the same time because the flag itself would now be in the shape of an eagle's head, so....it's a great compromise, IMHO, AND makes the university look much more 'big league' than previous regimes and designs have! There's no more bickering over the shade of green (although this user still prefers the 'gumball mint/veridian green' from 2013ish...the hockey uniforms still look like that, thankfully) and logo/name/mascot anymore after such a design is implemented and pushed, IMHO. Players will feel like 'the eyes of Texas are upon them' and quite literally, 'on their shoulders'. At least factor it into the uniform rotation for certain big games, like vs. UT-Austin, 'Bama, LSU, etc.. Here's the hockey uniform thread for the pics: Take the Mean Green 'beak' Texas flag from the shoulder areas and sell that to the top brass/marketing department to push on merchandise and this user would like to buy apparel with such a design to wear around (focus more on 'Mean Green' as opposed to the bush-league-sounding 'North Texas' to look less regional)! Who knows....maybe the recent tweet about new merchandise coming this summer and fall already have such a focus and they beat this user to the punch on the idea?
