Just Say No to the NO Bowl

[Side Show Joe]

Since the other thread got locked...

 

As I wake up this morning preparing to watch our Mean Green fight for the C-USA Conference Championship, I can not believe our big topic is arguing over the bowl destination of our team. Once again we are a fractured fan base. What a terrible way to finish a great season.

This is a self inflected wound by our leadership. Someone, possibly several within our university, seriously misread how this would play with a large segment of our fan base. We are obviously still Old Denton. If we were New Denton, this epic blunder (New Orleans Bowl vs. a Sun Belt team) wouldn't even be a possible scenario.

I just can't believe North Texas will accept an invitation to the NO Bowl on Dec. 16th, which is the same day as some North Texas graduation ceremonies, happening at 8am., 11am., 2pm., and 5pm.. Is Smatresk planning on skipping graduation?

No one on this board, or in our administration will ever convince me that the NO Bowl is the best we could do.

Hopefully, it is not too late to land in a better bowl.

Can’t reply on the other dumpster fire, so just start another one, eh?

No to NO

[Wag Tag]

How awesome it is to be arguing over which bowl we should go to. Fractured??? NOT!!

Sorry I cannot give you a +1 for this. I have apparently run out of +1's after being on the board for 5 minutes.

Why are there even limits on giving out points?

If anyone other than FAU plays a P5 school, I will be disappointed.

That is all there is to it.

Again, I'd give you a +1 if I could. Very sound logic.

I would give you a +1 for this as well, but, alas, I too have run out of votes after 5-7 minutes.  Doh!

I demand my Internet points! Another Mean Green #olddenton conspiracy.

Probably a little perspective is in order.

Ha! I guess it kind of came out that way. But, to be totally honest, I don't care about my points. If I did, I wouldn't be ranting about this topic.

I know it is rubbing some old guard fans the wrong way. I know some just want those that think like me to fall in line and focus on supporting our team. But this isn't about supporting our team. When they kick the ball off in about 30 minutes we will all be supporting our team. This is about the direction of our program, and the standard we expect. The New Orleans Bowl vs. a Belt team, just doesn't meet my standard.

I want another bowl. Pretty please.
