I hope we get the bowl in Dallas. That game vs UNLV was awesome from an atmosphere standpoint (at least on our side) If we could get a good matchup with someone that would bring some fans there could be 70,000 + at that game. Would be great for the team to beat a good opponent in front of a big crowd to get to 10 wins. Great cap to a good season.

Honestly, with us not playing for a conference title this year...

Our best senario from here is to finish 9-3, play in the First Responders Bowl in front of a "home" crowd of 30,000+ against a school that could bring their own fans.

Then finish the season 10-3.  Not where we wanted to be, but I think from here it is the next best option.

Still more wins than last year.

 I don't think we are taking 30,000 fans anywhere unless its in DFW. I have gone to every New Orleans bowl we have played in, and our attendance last year was pitiful. While granted Shreveport is a much shorter drive, we don't travel well, which is the reason The Independence  Bowl chose So. Miss. over us last year.

Hey, don't knock the Sun Belt this year.  In ESPN's Bottom 10 (always a funny read) we have the most out of any conference in the Bottom 10 with 3 teams.  And they are all highly ranked too (in a bad way) -- Minute Rice #1, Western Kentucky Hillstoppers #3 and UTEPID #4.  Sun Belt has ZERO teams in the bottom 10.

I would go to the Bahamas or Hawaii just to avoid a Sunbelt team!

Bowl projections out today and everyone I saw had SMU vs Army in Ft. Worth, and UNT vs. UNAMEU in Dallas.[SMU still must beat lowly Tulsa on road to get to 6&6]. I would love to switch with Ponies and play in Cowtown.

No. More. Army. For a while.

Not sure it would be possible but someone in CUSA (or the TV people) pulled it off for La Tech couple years ago & that would be a berth in the Armed Services Bowl on the TCU campus.  

No other school would bring as many fans as North Texas— no matter who the opponent.

We also have a pretty good marquee name QB & his Mean Green teammates to market locally.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      If…..

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.
