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).

El Guapo is confused... You want to turn down a bowl game because ridicule might hurt your feelings? El Guapo had no idea so many of you needed safe spaces.

Aren't you the same guy that showed up in New Orleans, for a 5-7 team that lost the bowl, all pimped out in a fuzzy lime green jacket etc. For half of that season you were calling for Dickie to be fired even with your good buddy Ramon Flanigan as OC.

The best thing that has come out of this thread is the return of El Guapo.

Take the offer if it comes.

That 5-7 team was a CONFERENCE CHAMPION.  

 

Amd, if you think Flanigan was my buddy, your credibility is already shot

The Nova Home Loan Arizona Bowl, in Tucson, AZ is on Dec. 30 vs. a MWC or SBC.

15 extra practices spread over the month of December.  Might be exactly what this team needs.

 

13.5 hour drive from Denton.

I think that 13.5 hours is pretty generous.  When I was in school and my folks were in AZ, I made the drive.  I think it's probably more around 15.

I thought we had a rule to lock any thread with three or more RF references.

Congrats to the team and the coaches on a much improved season.  We did better than i thought we would do.  I just don;t think we are good enough to go to bowl game this year.  Next year maybe if we continue to get better,  The UTEP loss shows how far we have to go still.

So... what exactly is there to do in Tuscon?

Well, if you have a rental car, drive 1 1/2 hours to Sierra Vista and see the museums at Ft. Huachuca. It was the home of the Buffalo Soldiers and there is great history. It is also an electronic surveillance/warfare post and there are great displays on military intelligence history. Or, you could go a tad further afield (same general direction from Tucson) and visit Tombstone.

Flanigan was only friends with athletic department employees named Mandy.

He did call you Coach, right? Your disagreement with Flanagans coaching is well known.

We were in fact Conference Co Champions with  an 8-3 Middle Tennessee team that beat an SEC team, destroyed Troy, lost to LSU and Mississippi, and did not go to a bowl. We went to the bowl on a head to head victory. We could in fact have declined and let them in. I saw several MTSU fans who had already booked New Orleans trip and they would chant "MTSU we got screwed we got screwed."

So if we make it to a Bowl game do we thank RV and Mac?????

Exactly what I was going to post IF we made it to a bowl.

Nobody wants to admit it, but you have to give McCarney credit for this bowl invitation, if one is coming. He may not have recruited the most talented athletes, but he did recruit smart kids.

Man it's neat to be able to bitch about TURNING DOWN a Bowl Game in year one of the #newdenton

 

lets line up to tell the seniors that the work they did to get the grades they got that helped us be eligible right now that we don't want them to play one more game.  Who wants to be first in that line?

Hell yeah...I wouldn't turn down an all expenses paid free trip to the Bahamas or anywhere-else-USA either.

 

Rick

Don't let people fool you, I doubt CUSA would be able to foot the full bill to fly our entire team etc out there all expenses paid.  The AD will undoubtedly have to pay for alot of stuff.  I still say you don't turn it down.

FIFY.  And yes I agree.  I wouldn't turn it down either.

Hell, I got a free ticket and an enjoyable ride to Ford Field to watch that beautiful Navy triple option kick the peruna out of SMU today.  It's in the middle of crowded hell known as Dallas...but when you don't have to pay or drive to go...you go.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Come to think of it, ESPN and the other networks who really benefit from all of this, should contribute $$ to a NIL fund and distribute equally to each schools NIL for them to use at their discretion. Wouldn't that be fair?
