If only there was some sort of alumni group who did this sort of thing and was booster for the program ...oh wait, there is.

Maybe we just need better students

Isn’t AD talk reserved for off season.

If the Red Aggies are bowl eligible, how would the ABQ. Bowl pass on them? Bowls can easily swap spots. There are going to be open P5 bowl slots so the mid-majors are going to be able to trade spots amongst each other.

Why do we struggle... Because the struggle is real. Because this ain’t PlayStation. Because DFW is the most recruited market in the nation.

No. They tried those Thursday night MAC games a decade ago and what did it get the conference? The best team from that era of MAC football, Marshal is now in CUSA.

Anybody have a direct link to this promotion, that we could share on social media.

The P5 schools are not going to be able to fill their bowl slots and there is going to be lots of swapping bowls this year. Houston is probably the best available match up, followed by Army because it’s a Saturday game. I don’t think we are going to see a P5 school in one of the 3 DFW bowls this year. I also think threads about fictional conference realignment should wait until off season.

The Texas Tech job is the one we should be the most concerned about because of SL’s ties to Tech. Hopefully the pull the plug on Coach Bro now, so they aren’t trying to steal our Friday Nights looking mofo next year.

I’m all for parking near the stadium, but I’m never going to use any of the rest of that, so just build a real tailgating park.

I think the team should stay in DFW. Sell more tickets. Build the local fan base. Play in front of local recruits. I’m warming up to an Army rematch. Mostly because it’s a Saturday game compared to HOD and Frisco.

I don’t think we’re ready for a P5 and just want to see the team win. Baby steps.

Poll

We’re getting a little to fanboy in here about what we would like vs. what is likely. New Orleans vs Ark St or LaLa on a Saturday. Dallas vs. UT St or Akron on a Tuesday afternoon Frisco vs. Houston on a Wed nite. Shreveport vs Virgina on a Wed Or Fort Worth vs Army on a Saturday.

We’ll have a real good idea which bowl it is after next week, we just need to see what bowl reps show up. Armed Forces Bowl will be there to “see” Army, so don’t read too much into that., unless they are the only one there. We should know before it’s official on Dec. 3rd.

Got to love the app. The number that counts is 25k+. Its the same measuring stick that every other program uses.

Not really the same situation. True last year was a rematch, but the game was played on the East Coast in October and was our first bowl in a few years. Also why are the fans going to come for a rematch, especially if we win? Tell me what's going to sell more tickets UNT vs. Army? K-State? Houston?

F That! 4 p.m. in games in September would be brutal.

ESPN & CFN say... it's the Armed Forces Bowl vs. Army. I just don't see it. The administration and the bowl want to sell as many tickets as possible. I don't think a rematch 1 month later in the same market is best way to sell more tickets. I think the conferences will flip spots, which the bowl projections will never be able to predict or show. I still think its Heart of Dallas or Frisco.

The weekly attendance complaint thread vs. facts Attendance: 26,108 I wish all the students would come through the gates, just to get the numbers counted too. The team and the turn out are improving. Can't wait for the Army game.

Why are we talking about Nebraska? I think we are going to see UNT, SMU, and Houston in the 3 DFW bowls. We know Army is in the Fort Worth bowl. I don't think they are going to match UNT vs Army again, weeks after they just played in DFW. So that puts us in the Heart of Dallas or Frisco bowl.

I love New Orleans, but Frisco or HOD make the most sense. The school needs a DFW game to sell its bowl allotment. The team needs a late bowl to spread its extra bowl practices out.

DD was great! Lots of people on this board still carry a grudge because he got their frat kicked off campus or because he called them an asshole because they thought their $199 donation entitled the unlimited access. DD’s fault was not upgrading the coaching staff when he could have.
