Frisco Bowl

[TheColonyEagle]

So I don't remember many new coaches coming in and coaching Bowl games. Seems like a recipe for a disaster. 

How often does that happen?

LaTech is not getting any respect, these broadcasters are in love with Dykes and SMU...

  haven’t hear a word about Holtz nor what he’s done, their program, how well they’re playing, etc.  

  SMU is loosing by almost 40 points and all they can talk about is how great SMU is...

Man, this is epic!  In a related note, did you see that failed stat ESPN put up a few minutes ago in regards to the Capital One Bowl Challenge?  We're the #1 conference so far with a 4-1 conference bowl record.  The Sun Belt is 1-2.  Does that mean we won after all?!  Yes!  Well, either us or Western Kentucky.  LOL

[untjim1995]

I wouldn’t put much stock in this one. La Tech looks motivated and SMU looks like a team that lost their coach a few weeks ago.

I still can’t believe La Tech’s season has gone the way it has. I thought they would easily win CUSA West this year, at a bare minimum.

[Anthro1999]

Certainly didn’t hear this much props about Fine and his 4,000+ passing yards during our bowl game...Hicks this, Hicks that, blah blah blah

Enjoy...

C-USA needs to build with Bein Sports and work on home attendance.

ESPN acts like CUSA doesn't exist. Makes the MAC and sun belt play terrible weekday games. Pac 12 after dark is a bust.

So far at halftime, the Frisco is my favorite bowl. As for our own bowl performance, in comparison to MAkron, at least our 3 had a 0 after it.

I really like what Dykes has done so far with the Ponies.  Hope it continues into next year.

dykes is just a by stander in this game.  One camera shot it looked he was going to say something to the coach talking to the players then retreated to the background.

It happen more than you would think. A team is successful and their coach is hired away. Once someone says they are leaving, it's common for them to go quickly as letting them stick around can lead to problems as they feel no consequences for anything they do. 

Yes, it is a recipe for disaster!

Lot of folks on here dissing Coach Dykes.  Didn’t he do a pretty good job at Tech?

normally an interim coach would handle the bowl game.

SMU screwed the pooch this football season. What a disaster. 

[KRAM1]

Loved this, but until we beat SMU I am not about to crow too loud.

Just enjoying the fact that we beat LaTech and now LaTech is handing SMU a butt whippin’.

Priceless!

Yep.  Other than our game this game was very enjoyable.  It's always good to watch SMU "P6" get destroyed.

What is funner or sad they didnt sell that small stadium out.  Saw the blue covers in the end zone shots.

[MeanGreen_MBA]

The blue covers in the end zone were due to construction.  They are building the National Soccer HoF there.  It is a soccer stadium.  SMU actually filled their side out pretty well.....albeit 20 minutes after kick-off.....THEN, after half-time, most of them left.....  Game was over.  Sara and I bought tickets to this game last July....and happened to be right in the middle of the SMU side....kind of awkward rooting for La. Tech where we were sitting.....we were wearing our UNT gear though...  I would think there were 19K+ fans there....just my estimate, split pretty evenly

Since there are only about 16,500 seats available during construction, that's a lot of people in standing room only (not a shot at you're attendance guessing skills)

I am just going to leave this here:

Frisco Bowl Attendance:  14,419

New Orleans Bowl Attendance: 24,904

That is 10,485 more tickets sold....

my bad....I was doing a highly controversial mathematic equation to estimate butts in seats based off a 22K potential.....
