Multiple groups of people can be blamed for it.. 

The conference is reason one that we are playing in the NO Bowl. You can blame the  HoD and Indy Bowl Committees for not inviting us. You can blame P5s for not wanting to play us. You can blame the players and coaches for wanting to go to NO over Albuquerque.

When did I blame the bowls who did not invite us or the P5s who didn’t want to play us??

Like I predicted earlier, looks like no one in our conference is getting a P5. They are doing everything in their power to make sure only top MWC & AAC teams get P5s in bowl. 

With that being said, this match-up makes perfect sense. Two coaches on very similar trajectories. Almost exact same age and prior experience. Both coached Air Raid Spread Offenses at Texas Tech. Great destination city. Let's not forget Troy has 1 more win as 2 less losses than we do. Sun Belt or not. Quit your bitching and enjoy it. These don't come along too often 'round these parts.

You said multiple people to blame and I gave you the correct list.

Not a knock on FAU but I wouldn't be surprised if there's just as many if not more Temple fans at the game than FAU fans.

I talked to the some of that fau fans showed up and the are embarrassed by the crowd. No way more then 10,000 ppl in the crowd. 

Btw, thank God for apogee. The "concourse" of fau stadium isn't as nice as many high school stadiums. Fau already looks like it needs to be updated.

From the TV and pictures it really looks like a nice stadium and a place that'd be fun to watch a game.  It might just be the colors of the seats that seem to make it more enhanced for me but yeah given FAU's location, they can definitely be a consistent good G5 team and build that fanbase & brand.

Like many things in South Florida, the exterior looks good until you get a closer inspection.

And UNT wonders why they can't get Denton, students, or alumni to turn out. Troy. Great. On December 16th too. So exciting. 

What are they supposed to do about it? Not accept the bid?

Apparently just keep being us. Same ole North Texas. We'll be in the same boat in 20 years. I accepted it. It sucks but oh well. Whatever.

      Unfortunately I feel like many folks might rather watch the Notre Dame/Indiana playoff game on Friday.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      We've shown over the last handful of seasons that we have one of the most suffocating defenses in the country. I still think the defining game of this era was the NIT semi against Wisconsin when we held them scoreless the last nine minutes of regulation.

      Ok so what's your suggestion? Don't get a QB? I'm confused as to what the end goal of your argument is. Regardless of who we get, we're going to suck? Looks like you're complaining just to complain.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      I'm looking forward to the game. In-state bragging rights up for grabs and a good built-in storyline with the two head coaches going head-to-head. Should be a lot of hype leading up to the game. I know we have a couple games on future schedules, but it would be good to rekindle the series. Give me an annual matchup against Texas State over the likes of South Alabama or any FCS opponent. I'm not going to call this a litmus test for coach Morris, but it's pretty close to one. His tenure has not gotten off to the start we were sold on. In fact it's been pretty disappointing. In two seasons, Morris has a record of 11-13 (.458). Those 11 wins have come against teams with a collective record of 45-87 (.341). His signature win is against South Alabama who finished 6-6 in the regular season this year, but did win their bowl game to finish 7-6 to become only the second team with a "winning" record he's beaten (FCS SFA at 7-5 is the other). Ouch. 2 of the 11 or 18.2% of coach Morris's wins have come against FCS opponents. 4 of the 11 or 36.4% of coach Morris's wins have come against teams named Tulsa and Temple. This is going to be an important game for coach Morris. I hate to utter these words, but is this an "opportunity" game? If we win, he will get a little bit of a lift and goodwill for the program and his tenure so far. If we lose or do so in embarrassing fashion, I think his time here is running out. Of course, I don't know how we treat bowl games anymore. They run the spectrum of meaningless exhibition games to the game that defines a coach's legacy. Should be fun.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      Sure. But this wasn't the first game I have thought this about. My knowledge of hoops is limited and I try to stay out of posting on the BB board for that reasons. Maybe it happens multiple times every game played by every team, but it seems like NT's defense forces this turnover type regularly against good and bad teams. Probably just selective memory. GMG
