Independence Bowl

[greeneagle1]

Anyone watching? I am at work and keeping track through ESPN's app. Really wish UNT was playing there.

Southern Miss just took the lead early with a TD, 6-0.  They look pumped up.  Griggs and Ito came to play.

[CaribbeanGreen]

This is a bittersweet watch for me. This is the one I really wanted... would love to be there right now watching us take our shot at Florida State.

Troy is a better team than FSU also. Just nobody knows it. Sucks. 

[Shark84]

Hope our players had fun in New Orleans. SL wanted to reward them with a fun bowl destination. Would have been cool to see how many mean green fans would have traveled to Shreveport.

[NM Green]

GO SOUTHERN MISS!

What does the crowd look like?

In general and for Southern Miss.

[FirefightnRick]

And just like that...Florida State with the 7-6 lead and driving for more.

Southerm Miss' defense looks like #NewDenton.

Edit:13-6 FSU

Looks like Florida State figured out they have superior talent. This could get ugly.

16-6

Too bad FAU didn't get the chance against FSU. I think the owls would have won.

They have the colored seat backs up so it looks fuller but I would say  the entire stadium is maybe 40%, 50% at the best.. a lot of open seats in the end zones, and the upper levels behind the sidelines

23-6 FSU 

[Harry]

FSU has some beast athletes.

I'm logging in from Barcelona just to remind everyone that yah it would have been cool to see how many mean green fans would have gone down to Shreveport.

But they never invited us.  

Stop trying to make it look like we chose New Orleans over the liberty bowl, that didn't happen.

Who is coaching the game for FSU?

You might be right. I don't think they would invite a team that didn't want to be there...

[UNT86]

If Florida State was coming to Indy Bowl, we were never an option...and neither was FAU.

No name recognition, yet.

Apparently Deion Sanders Roomate from his time at FSU, believe someone with the last name Copeland.. he was from the Fisher staff and is staying on with the new coach as well.

Exactly. But again, we have the fabulous four who when they aren't banned like to blame our coach, our players, our AD and the CUSA commissioner for not getting a home bowl game against Texas.

#1.  Braggart

#2.  We chose N.O. Over waiting for the Indy invite.  Whether or not it was the right decision... that DID happen.

[Rudy]

It would be potential disaster to WAIT for an Indy Bowl invite that may or may not come and risk staying home during bowl season.

We asked them to extend, they decide to leave us twisting. We would have looked like idiots if it hadn't come.

[Ben Gooding]

You seemed so determined to defend...Almost as if you were ordered to. Seems weird...

Anyhow, we should've went to the NM Bowl in the first place.
