glad UTEP got the 33-10 win over those clowns

Yeah, but if Marshall loses tonight and beats ECU, don't we still host the CCG - guaranteed? The answer's yes (as long as we win out)

Ohio getting prison raped by BGSU...49-0 with 12 minutes remaining

you are correct. I mis-read their website earlier. In addition to winning and fans showing up vs UTSA, I think it would definitely help us if we took a large contingent to Tulsa on the 30th. That way we prove that we can actually travel well

Luckily for us, C-USA has 6 bowl tie-ins and only 6 of the 7 "eligible" teams can be selected (UTSA can only be picked if bowls remain available). Also, our "neighbor" the Big 12 (both conferences are headquartered in Irving - although that has nothing to do with this conversation) will only have 7 teams, but 8 tie-ins (and that's if two teams don't go to the BCS). All in all, the chaos will not be coming to Denton

ECU #46 NT #53 as predicted, UTEP's SOS kicked us in the teeth. remaining opponents: North Texas - #84 UTSA, #106 Tulsa East Carolina - #107 UAB, #90 NC State, #75 Marshall

our boys are worth more than the price of admission. Anyone buying a ticket is getting a steal as-is already. no free tickets

Today's Semifinal Match-ups: East Carolina vs Colorado College, 4:30 North Texas vs Charlotte, 7:00

yes sir, it was. My mother had me tested after you called me crazy. I knew I wasn't crazy, but she made me go anyways

I liked your original prediction better. DT has been a revelation, and I'm thankful. Glory to the Green

I love you UNT90

oh, I agree. If we were doing predictions, mine would be around 26,400. I was just stating that it's safe to assume we're at 23k already http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/01/Apogee_Stadium_2011_and_2012_attendance.svg

Looks like 6,700 on ticketmaster. I think it's safe to call 23k+. I'm still hoping for more, though. Me and my usual +3 + another 8. #hit7

SIAP, but I didn't see it: Tiebreaker The following tiebreaker formula is recommended for the Conference USA Football Championship game: Two-team tie to determine host 1. Highest regular season winning percentage based on overall Conference USA play. 2. If tied, head to head between tied teams. 3. If still tied, team with highest BCS ranking - as already thoroughly discussed in this thread Even if we both win this weekend, I foresee a dip for both of us. UTEP will, unfortunately, make us drop (even if we win by 35). And #52 Buffalo will climb, based on their 27 pt win over #55 Ohio, among others. Just hang tight, it's gonna be a crazy season-ending watching those BCS standings

both of our season-ending SOS's are about to get a kick in the teeth. North Texas: #120 UTEP, #91 UTSA, #107 Tulsa East Carolina: #107 Tulsa, #108 UAB, #87 NC State, #79 Marshall

Can I plead the 5th?

^ for some reason, I read that as "Rivendell" and couldn't, for the life of me, figure out what Middle Earth had to do with Iowa, Archie, and your traveling schedule edit: link fix

Maybe RV will take the recently opened job at Arizona State, or a resulting one in the upcoming chain reaction, and the new AD says "sorry, Iowa, but that ain't happenin'"

good to know thirteen for the purposes of this endeavor, let's assume the students sell out their allotment. That leaves us alumni with 8,000?

just spent some time on Ticketmaster. looks like there are 8,017 available. Let's keep it up! If that's accurate, we're already at around 22k!

1. Liberty Bowl 2. Cotton Bowl (located in the Heart of Dallas) 3. Military Bowl my list is pretty much the same order as the payout, except I'd probably drop Hawaii to 6 and bump the other two up. Another bad thing about the Hawaii Bowl is that it's a whole week before the Cotton Bowl, which takes away a few extra practices. Liberty (SEC), Cotton (B1G), and Military (ACC) are also desirable because they are pitted against the big 5 conferences. In a time where the B1G/PAC/SEC/ACC/B12 are getting out of contracts with the CUSA/AAC/MWC/MAC/SB, this is a great opportunity to get a good win vs. a name opponent. While I agree with most of the positives about playing in the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Day, the one drawback is that it's on ESPNU in a time period where three other games are on (a total of 4). I'll be at the game unless it's Beef o'Bradys or Hawaii so it's not for my viewing pleasure that I voice this drawback. My thought process is that I want the entire country tuned in to see the Mean Green, and the Cotton Bowl might not give us this, but other than that, the Cotton Bowl is great. For reference, I'm providing the game dates and times (Central): New Orleans - Saturday, December 21 @ 8 PM Beef 'O' Brady's - Monday, December 23 @ 1 PM Hawaii - Tuesday, December 24 @ 7 PM Military - Friday, December 27 @ 1:30 PM Liberty - Tuesday, December 31 @ 3 PM Heart of Dallas - Wednesday, January 1 @ 11 AM
