Brad Edwards -- UNT vs. Iowa -- Heart of Dallas Bowl

Mark Schlabach -- UNT vs. Virginia -- Military Bowl

Would be great to do a New Year's Bowl back in Texas or have a bowl right in my back yard in DC!!!! #Hit6

[JesseMartin]

Hmmm we were waiting until we pay off all the medical bills before traveling again to reward ourselves...that would be good timing, the boys have never played in the snow or been to the east coast...

[All About UNT]

we all know that the Heart of Dallas bowl is the one we need to aim for. It will generate the most noise among the alumni and students and will obviously provide the largest turnout achievable. I would like to travel for a bowl but on the other hand a sea of green sounds better to me.

[casual fan]

Can you imagine the media coverage in and around DFW if we were to land the Heart of Dallas bowl?

Can you imagine how much that would help UNT recruiting?

And best of all.......can you imagine all the reactions by the fans of a certain school to our south?

We just need to aiming for playing the best season we can and getting as many wins as we can. I'm not close to the point of worrying about "which bowl?"

If UNT is playing Iowa, who are the Kokjohns rooting for?

Dallas Baptist University?

I'd love to play in New Oreleans or Dallas. I'd prefer anywhere that is a makable trip.

let's #Hit6 first

[GOMG2013]

So we have to wait until we win 6 games to talk about going bowling? Well since no team has no more than 3 wins, there shouldnt be any bowl PROJECTIONS for any team, with that logic.

Have you seen our record over the past 8 seasons?

Don't believe folks are really worried about which bowl, but it's nice to be discussed as a potential bowl participant. That hasn't happened in a while.

[GOMG2013]

Has the team ever been 2-1 after 3 games in the past 8 seasons? We will be favored to win or be competitive in most of the remaining games. Has it been that way in the last 8 seasons?

I understand not wanting to jump the gun, but after we beat Tulane and then come home to beat mid tenn, and go to 4-2, all you will hear is bowling talk. THIS team gives me a reason to be excited, therefore I will be unless they give me a reason not to.

[southsideguy]

As important as the record is, we need to get more people in the stands for our remaining games. Bowls do look at how teams are supported and if their fans will travel with them.

Mizzou or Vandy? Two below average SEC teams? I'd rather play a scrimmage with TSU in the parking lot of Frenchy's.

Both of them would absolutely drum you guys, just like Rice will.

What a poor representation of my school...you get blasted on coogfans, so maybe you have never been to either school. They may hate you even more over there.

If UH was ask to play in any bowl right now, the fans would take it in a heartbeat. You need attention young dude.

Hey Cougar King, did you guys borrow your helmets from South Alabama?

[ColoradoEagle]

Getting to the Heart of Dallas Bowl to face Iowa would be amazing on so many levels. First bowl since '04, covered in excess by local media being that it's in Dallas, with a former Iowa State head coach taking on Iowa providing national media attention, against a Big Ten team that we would stand a good chance at beating.

Also being a New Year's Day bowl? This would be the single biggest game in decades.

[KRAM1]

Been a long time since "UNT and Bowl Game Projection" were all mentioned in the same breath...I LIKE!

[JesseMartin]

Hell if we can make the trip I really don't care if it's DC or TX, I'm waiting to take the kids to their first game to make sure it's a UNT game. Any bowl that we could travel to would be freaking awesome. Oh yeah, and I guess you guys can come too.

Great thing about this potential game is that Iowa would love it, too. They can get a New Years Bowl game in Texas, while playing a team on their schedule in a few years, and would give Hayden Fry a lot of love. Some AQ teams would absolutely avoid a bowl slot against a team like us in any way possible. But Iowa would probably love this game, considering all that it would be for them, too.

In an even more ironic twist, if we played Iowa in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl, it would be like us having 2 for 1 with them. A game at the Cotton Bowl with strong UNT attendance (when we have played in bowl games or in the NCAA Tournament, "fans" who couldn't even tell you how to get into Fouts or the Super Pit would magically show up in New Orleans) could be a nice tie-into getting a big OOC game in Dallas at some point down the road.

You know..I am beginning to think Cougar King is just one of the many personalities and pueudonames of Cerebus. Could be...
