No Thank You to a Bowl Rematch

[shaft]

As fun as the game was, I’d pass on a rematch with Army in the Armed Forces Bowl.

4 Times in two seasons is too much.

Also, I don’t know what good a rematch does our program.  We won the rubber match.  

It was a great series, but it’s time to move on to the next thing.

Yes, I generally agree. But I also want to at least let our coach and AD see what the options are before ruling any bowl in or out.

Armed Forces is not and will not consider UNT... Armed Forces is a UTSA/LT vs Army match up.

They are already eyeing a few select bowls and I’ve heard SL favors a game in FL but I have no idea why.

There’s 6 likely options; the 3 DFW bowls, Independence, New Mexico, and New Orleans.

I’d rule out the Armed Forces Bowl because of the rematch.

Frisco seems a bit small.

Why go to New Mexico or New Orleans this season?  May be good to keep those bowls fresh for another season.

So that boils it down to Heart of Dallas vs Independence.

I'm thinking you are joking here? Outside of Texas, Florida is the biggest hotbed for high school football talent in the country.

Simmer Down Now.  Let’s not out kick the coverage.

Our recruiting focus is TX, OK, LA.  Mac blew a key recruiting by spending too much time out of state.

Agreed on these points.. from what I have heard..Frisco is out and not even a consideration because of size, Armed Forces is out because it’s Army.. 

to me it’s Down to HoD or Independence.. I really wish for a chance at Alamo bowl but it’s looking like TCU vs Washington and I don’t want to play either.

I get recruiting FL, but we are should be focusing in on Texas kids then expand out.. we are losing on plenty of kids in the state. 

Also, the bowl that is the rumored fav for SL has a non-sexy match up for us and likely not for fans in FL.
