"North Texas is here at 5-7 after getting skull drug by UTEP in their season finale.  This is the second time they have been bowling with 5 wins..."

I fully expect the casual fan to get SUPER pumped by that

Great.  Let another 5-7 team go instead of us... that'll show 'em.

Yeah that's exactly it. Let some other team that doesn't deserve to go to a bowl game go. I think it makes a profound statement that losing won't be tolerated and especially celebrated

Losing will not be tolerated by reducing our practice time and removing the bowl trip as a recruiting tool?  Seem counter productive.  

This game is terrible, but if I had told you before the year started we would go 5-7 and get a bowl invitation because our academics are great... who the hell in their right mind would have turned that down?

Too many read the part that we'd get a bowl with 5 wins I suppose.

THIS: Guys, you win today & we get a bowl invite, but if you don't (fill in the blank)______________________.?

Can they key on the RB & put a shadow on him for crissakes?!?!

(make us eat our words & disappointment, team).

I was raised to believe you only get what you earn. This team isn't earning a bowl game today. If they miracle their way back into a win, then fine, go bowling. But, right now all I want to give them is a good butt chewing.

This is embarrassing!

I've driven to Tennessee to watch us get killed by Vanderbilt, I've listen to the dueling banjos come out of the woods near Jonesboro, I've seen the glory that is the Kibbie Dome.  I guess if this team qualifies for a bowl via NCAA rules I'll go seem them there.

If this team loses to UTEP they should turn down any bowl invite.  This is not a post-season caliber defense (or offense for that matter).

I was thinking the same thing. If they can't beat UTEP they don't deserve it.  However, one additional game with related practice time would go a long way to helping this very young and new team....

We weren't supposed to get to 5 this year.  By no means do I think we're a bowl quality team without winning this one but I'd any accomplishment, APR or otherwise, gets this rag tag empty cupboard squad to a bowl then I'd celebrate it.  

Its still overachieving. 

Exactly. First year coach takes a 1-11 team to a bowl because academics got us over the other cusp teams? Take it. I was mentally deabting this before Emmitt posted it...but a bowl is still a bowl. Even if we get crushed...knowing it's a stepping stone season and our academics got us in and there's growth coming is still more impressive than not being in a bowl at all.
