Servpro Bowl?

Just saw SB nation bowl projection. Servpro (Dallas) North Texas... Washington State! Great story lines!

As long as The Pirate doesn't bring his "Ghost Powers".

I hope we get to a decent bowl this year, and the "you name it" at Cotton Bowl is not It. I would much rather go to Armed Forces Bowl in Ft. Worth, but that's just me.

Anywhere.. where we don’t play a Sunbelt Team.. I would take a WAC team in Albuquerque! GMG

Wow what a terrible name for a bowl. Nothing gets me amped up like the "First Responder Bowl brought to you by ServPro"

If we don't get the G5 NY6 bowl (and there's a LOT that needs to happen over the next few months for that to become a reality...a LOT), anywhere we can play a P5 should be the goal for a bowl game. If that's at the HOD Bowl, so be it.

The Cotton Bowl is such an iconic part of college football, its a shame that the city of Dallas does not really want to get behind this game.

Pavlovs Eagle · September 23, 2018

Our only focus should be on a NY6 Bowl.

Me too!

We (35K plus MG fans) would displace everyone wearing purple with green within a 5 mile radius of Amon Carter Stadium.

GMG!

In a lot of ways I'm more concerned with WHO we play rather than WHERE we play. I have no problem with the ServePro Bowl as long as we are playing a name P5 school.

Too much of a chance to play Army again. No thanks.

Saw where 2 of OU'S LB had over 40 tackles in the Army game!!! Do not want to play Army again and again and again!

Lets win out so we can avoid this crappy bowl. I rather go to new mexico and play a mwc team then be in the crappy game at the cotton bowl. That place needs to be knocked down. It is like playing in a tomb.

risinggreen · September 24, 2018

I'm looking for a game at the new Cotton Bowl instead.

drex · September 24, 2018

The Cotton Bowl is the Dallas equivalent of Fouts Field. No thanks.

Agree with both of these. If we went to the HOD they'd bring in some MWC or MAC type team that brings in 500 people. That bowl isn't going to exist much longer from the sound of it. Im happy whenever we go to bowl but we can do better on a season like this.

ADLER · September 24, 2018

We are growing a fan base.

I want to go to any bowl in the metroplex, or possibly Shreveport, where our fans can attend and give us a home field advantage.

Sad but true.

Not sure why you say this. First, the same team than manages the Armed Forces Bowl in Ft Worth manages the Servpro. Their business cards used to say Armed Forces bowl on one side and HOD on the other. Secondly, the fact they've got a title sponsor makes them more likely to continue, not less. Title sponsors change every four to five years, see the formerly called Colonial Invitational and multiple bowl games. Third, and most importantly, there is a new management group running Fair Park now that wants to build it up. They are willing to invest more than the City was. They want the bowl game to grow.

A match up with Washington State would have a unique line of interest - both teams lost at home to Portland State in 2015.

If we're going to go to a poorly attended and poorly covered bowl can it at least be the Bahamas Bowl? The personal accounts of fans there last year sounded like comedy gold.

oldguystudent · September 24, 2018

I just like that it's September, with one more to play in September, and we're bitching and arguing about WHICH bowl we're going to play in, not IF we'll get into one at all.

MeanGreenTexan · September 24, 2018

If we don't run the table and get the NY6 bowl, I think this would be a pretty good bowl pairing for us.

I think NT VS Wazzu in the First Responder Bowl would have the opportunity to pair two ranked teams (or, at least 2 teams getting votes), so it would be a pretty good game with a lot of media attention.

I fear the crowd would look a lot like the 2014 HOD bowl though (30K+ green & ~1K red), as I'm not sure how many Wazzu fans would travel down here for it.

Our entire coaching staff would be friggin fired-up beyond belief for it though. Apprentice VS Master storylines galore, and I bet some Tech fans would come out to support NT just to stick it to the Pirate.

ADLER · September 24, 2018

The three western tiny privates of the AAC don't look bowl bound at this time. The Frisco Bowl will be looking for a school that can fill all the seats as the eastern AAC representative will likely not travel well to Frisco.
