Playing in front of 6 people at a track stadium in the Bahamas can’t possibly do anything positive for CUSA’s brand

Sun Belt opponents would probably be more appropriate.

I really wish CUSA would get out of the Bahamas and Hawaii bowls.  Attendance is horrible at those bowls for obvious reasons.  Why not shoot for more bowls within the conference’s geographic footprint?

First off. We still need one more win.

But I hope to sweet Mary and Joseph we don't play in the Bahamas..

We get UNLV in 2013 and a rematch of Army last year. 

PLEASE let us play in Dallas and with a better traveling and non season rematched opponent.

There is almost no way we end up in Frisco...ever.  We would have to be really desperate to go to a bowl game, where only some of our fans that want to go could.  Toyota stadium seats less than we have sent to HOD

Does it really matter if CUSA is getting a bigger payout/return from the bowl in terms of flight reimbursement?

But why wish to go there again this year?  I would much rathe have the destination of New Orleans or a makeable trip to Tucson or New Mexico.  Bowl games should be like a mini-vacation and a reward for players...playing in a place where you can Uber to is neither

Yes.  You want your fans to have a realistic chance at attending. You want an exciting atmosphere that is well attended. The payout on Bahamas is only $450k.

Who cares what the payout is? We can not and should not be worried about a bowl game.. we need to worry about LAT and hope we don’t have a FAU game.. Get the W then we can start worrying /speculating where we would like to go, but we need to keep winning. 

We all want UNT to be viewed as a winner, and need 2 more wins in 4 games to have a winning regular season and 3 more wins if we wanna finish at worst .500 after a possible CUSA championship bid and bowl game.. the current staff has talked about how it’s difficult to recruit because of the losing history, and back to back bowl games will do a world of good.

When we are winning conference championships like we did back in the NO Bowl run, then we can worry about bowl placement. UNT is a known draw for bowl games (locally) and having 3 in DFW will likely increase the odds we stay and play here.

???? You brought up payout in your previous post responding to me....

I’m getting extremely confused with our conversation....my comments were regarding the bowl games CUSA is associated with....nothing to do with our bowl eligibility whatsoever.  But even if I WERE talking about our likely bowl destinations for the Mean Green I’ll do so because I’m a fan.  The players and coaches can focus on La Tech...I can speculate bowl spots all day long.

I’d really like for the current students and recent alums to get to experience the New Orleans Bowl. That city/experience is amazing debauchery. We’d create another generation of loyal fans like what happened during the DD years after having that shared experience as a fan base.  Win or lose that bowl game, one thing’s for sure...North Texas fans always win at partying.

I thought the Frisco Bowl had teams from the American Conference and the Sun Belt.

Unless we're trying to find the first ever Bahaman bobsled team, wehave no business being in a bowl game there.

Is there something I'm missing or ESPN is missing? CUSA is out of the HOD Bowl, right?

Either these bowl projection guys aren't updated on the conference tie-ins, or they're banking on ESPN doing their annual 'bowl-swapping'.    Either/both are probable.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
