This team is New Denton in the streets, Old Denton in the sheets. ❌ No wins against good teams. ❌ No conference title. ❌ No bowl win. ✔️ Good regular season record from beating up

This staff is a joke. About 49% of me was hoping they were all going to Manhattan. 51% of me wants this signing class.  Want to pad your QB stats game after game for the sake of your own resume,

When our defense gets turnovers, we don't say the other team is beating themselves, right? Somebody forced those turnovers in almost every case. And look, i'm as disappointed as anybody right now

Of all the bowls we could have gone to, I think this is the best opponent we could play. I know it isn't the name brand P5 team we wanted to play. But I think beating a ranked team is better, in my opinion, than beating a 6-6 P5 team. Would be a huge feather in our cap.

That would only enhance our recruiting ability. SL could lay out the following when talking to kids on the fence: 1) CFB Play of the Year 2) Beat a SEC team (even though it was lowly Arkansas) 3)Win a bowl against a ranked opponent. Screw best CUSA recruiting class, we could target best of G5.

I don't know how Cincy was ranked back when we beat them in the bowl under Dickey.  Certainly beating a USU squad would be up in that level of bowl wins or perhaps higher.

I think a win over Utah State (MWC) would be a statement win.  Not sure but I don't think Cincy was ranked the time we played.

LB David Woodward, Utah State

Yet another breakout athlete, Woodward played a mediocre 248 snaps in 2017, but he finished the 2018 regular season as the highest-graded linebacker in the nation and a PFF All-American. He has been a tackling machine -- missing only three of his 111 attempts -- while proving to be a force in the run game, where his 92.6 grade is tied for third among linebackers. ...

Though the schools haven’t met on the field in 14 years, their pasts remain intertwined. The programs from the last meeting would not recognize the 2018 version of themselves

What do we know about USU's coaching situation? Wells took a LOT of the staff to Lubbock, are some/any of them staying to coach the bowl game? I haven't seen any new hires yet, so what are we facing here?

They have a set practice schedule and initial game plan but I think the qbs coach will be the man.

Since we finally know what Seth is doing and unlike Kstate we get excited about bowl wins let's combine all the bowl talk.

I know some of yall are down about this bowl selection but I'm excited.

I am excited too on who we are playing but it is the distance and cost. Making a trip from SA to Albuquerque is expensive. But that is just the way it goes.

I have a confession... 

I was super bitter about getting this bowl game when it was first announced.

Now, I am excited about it.  Great opponent, great destination for our kids to experience.  The potential for recognition with a win is through the roof.

I am sad I will not be able to attend because of where it is, but I will be cheering loud from DFW!

GO MEAN GREEN!

THE SHOW GOES ON!

Agreed I was mad about this bowl at first and mostly for selfish reasons because I can’t attend. But it’s a good bowl vs a quality opponent and the watch party will be a blast! GMG!

Yes... most of the bitterness came from a selfish place.

Heres a question... Seeing how this game could go.  Maybe a potential interview for the Mountain West.  Would you want to hop in that conference if they take notice?
