They have a better IPF than SMU!

SDSU is still ranked.

As Attendance Nostradamus, I've got to be honest, I'm a little nervous we aren't going to fill this stadium.

No, but our opponent would have.

I know that’s the number listed for Toyota, but I think it’s actually around 18,000.

Toyota is around 50% bigger than Ford Center.

If the NCAA had a sense of humor they would turn this game into a bit. Leave it the Unnamed Texas Bowl or get a sponsorship from a youth sports trophy manufacturer. Trophy made of plastic. Make the matchup the “last two in” for bowl eligibility (which should really be ODU and Miami Ohio).

Where do we sign up for early entry to the American?

We’d have a better feel for this getting a decent opponent for the bowl game, but some people seem to want to play Celina High School just to get a W.

It is going to be hilariously unstable when us and Miami Ohio get announced as the matchup tomorrow and the bowl still doesn’t have a name, date, time, or location.

For instance, my exchange with my wife regarding taking my son to the game and skipping his nap: Me: We got a replacement game for tomorrow. Let’s skip nap time and all go. Her: Who Me: LSU her: we did not get Louisiana State on 2 days notice. Who is it? me: LSU…Shreveport Her: No.

I’m not necessarily making an excuse for the team, but I imagine they were just about as excited to play LSU-Shreveport as the fans were.

Attendance Nostradamus strikes again!

Took awhile to remember we aren’t playing Nevada.

We win that game by 4 TDs. Take that to the bank.

We don’t need “locals” to fill any venue in Frisco and our fans will have as much advance notice as any other bowl. If we can’t fill 17,000 seats for a local bowl game let’s just call it quits and become a division 2 powerhouse.

If UTSA wins their bowl game we will be all that stood between them and putting up a National Championship banner like UCF.

Yes.

Her opportunity to do that went away when the extra bowl game was added. And it was honestly a pretty small chance as is, though present.

Enjoy that 1 in the loss column for all eternity. 😃

I highly doubt she’s in any way involved in the venue selection. Depending on their schedule, ESPN may put the games back to back days so they don’t even have to move equipment.

I was actually a little excited for the first ever meeting with UNT-Dallas, but I guess it wasn't to be.

I think we have to assume it will be another game at Toyota Stadium. Since it hosts the FCS Championship game in early January it will already be set up as a football venue for the immediate future (and of course our soccer team won't be needing it anytime soon). I just can't imagine they'd pull a bowl game out of thin air knowing North Texas was going to be in it and need 20,000+ seats and then put it at the Ford Center. Would be a heck of an atmosphere in there though. So long as the time/date is not unreasonable even Toyota Stadium will likely be too small.

LSU-S started the year in the preseason top 10 in NAIA, but have since dropped out of the poll entirely.

Good for UTSA. I hope this makes them "appreciate" the 3TD loss to us even more!
