Anyone that watched the first matchup between these teams.

Big time response from the cardboard canons.

I do wish we’d call them the team from University Park rather than Dallas…but nice to see some saltiness back toward them after SMUs Twitter nonsense surrounding the football game.

Guess UTSA tanking in our game and prepping for the CUSA title game worked out for them. Because going undefeated definitely wasn't important to them. It was all part of the plan.

84-58 North Texas wins. Can't wait for SMU to be forced to play us in men's basketball in 2023.

I know a lot of people are rooting against UTSA, but in a hypothetical where UTSA wins their bowl game, there is something particularly satisfying about being the one team that ruined their perfect season. And did it by 3 TDs.

Up 25 after 3 quarters. 58-33. The loss to UTSA was unfortunate, but this may be a decent team. SMU is mediocre, but handling them pretty easily.

This result, if it holds, makes us look even better than we already did.

We’d have awesome crowd noise if we had more than 10,000 people in our stadium

The game is in frisco.

I actually hope we get a tough opponent. Not interested in a cupcake. I want to see SL get his team ready to go in a bowl game against a competent opponent.

Miami Ohio is the team was going to get left out. They are the real winners here.

This tiny little part of me wants it to be at the Ford Center so weather is not an issue and we know it will be full.

The game is in Frisco per Mcmurphy.

Per Mcmurphy the new bowl will also be in Frisco....so you'd presume Toyota Stadium, but I suppose you could throw a couple of far away teams into a game at the Ford Center.

Probably the same reason they never schedule us for regular games. More risk than reward.

TCU wants no part of this.

It was a blast on Saturday watching UTSA know exactly what we were going to do and be entirely unable to stop it.

I guess my point is this new bowl will be no less relevant than the already completely irrelevant bowls we have spent our entire history playing in. This allows the NCAA to get Hawaii into that bowl, which is their preference. My position has always been that 6-6 teams should get the 13th game to end the year a relative winner or loser. Sometimes people act like the proliferation of bowls devalues the bowls. That’s incorrect. There are a few bowls that have value. And the rest largely don’t. How many get added to the second category doesn’t matter.

Was really looking forward to this one. Nevada is a good program. I was sure we’d end up playing UNT Dallas but they are already booked.

Added bonus is a home bowl game would force a bunch of our “fan base” to locate apogee stadium for the first time.

No one pretends the vast majority of these bowls mean anything important. But it’s fun for fans and fun for the players. Who cares.

Would be awesome if we travelled well to Vegas.

[whispers] Our denial of the rivalry is part of the rivalry. See: SMU attitude toward North Texas.
