The reality of the situation:

ESPN puts us in whatever the hell the Heart of Dallas Bowl is called these days because they know that 40,000 of us will show up at 4 o'clock on a Tuesday morning, and throws in whatever the hell opponent they feel like who has nowhere else to go, doesn't travel, and doesn't bring in TV revenue. 

ESPN uses the situation to further extort the City of Dallas for exorbitant payments going forward. 

It's a G5 world -- 15-0 or GTFO.  We just GTFO'd.

I thought the City of Dallas has pretty much cut off the gravy train for the sole bowl game being played within its limits?

If we stay with one loss, these predictions will change everything.

There is a chance we win every game left and still not end up west division champs, much less conference champs.

I will say it again. UNT will only play in a cusa bowl tie in game. If we went undefeated we still will not play in a ny6 game because a 1 loss UCF team will be ranked higher than us. The "higher up bowls" have tie ins also and will not choose UNT over a 6-6 Florida or 8-4 Michigain. 

For me I want a bowl win over anything else this year.

I could see the Armed Forces Bowl making a play for us if the American or Big 12 don't have a team to send.

I could see liberty bowl also. But odds are small for both. And like I said I we need to win the bowl we are in.

My my my, throwing around bowl projections and knowing that we will be involved.....sure seems like more fun than it used to be when we had 2 or 3 wins and headed to the toilet bowl.

Liberty?   Or, do you mean Independence?

It's looking like (unless we get help from at least 1 other West Division team beating LATech... looking at you UAB... while we go undefeated) we're not going to get to choose our bowl or play for the C-USA championship.   So hey, maybe we'll be in a position to play the Independence bowl like USM did last year.

Yes.

You know what they call an 11-1 G5 that didn’t win its conference? They don’t.

boy how one loss changes everything. 

Honest question though - aren't these projections virtually identical to last week? I remember a HoD vs. Leach thread this time last week, about all the cool storylines.....

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Unless you only care about bigger donors and have contracts that get extended for staying in budget, like RV had. The sad thing about attendance is that we even have an issue with it. A school this big with this large of an alumni base, in a giant metro area and we can’t sell out the 31k seat football stadium even one time EVER and the 10k seat Super Pit hasn’t seen a crowd of close to capacity in decades. But as someone said, it’s not like the Murchison Center is ever filled to capacity or the Art Department can’t keeP people from seeing an art exhibit or dance performance because too many people are attending. Literally, nobody cares about ANYTHING the university sponsors in any decent number. It’s like the complete 180 degree opposite of A&M, where the brain washing is so strong that these people only wear maroon and khaki and drive maroon cars.

      AAC Tourney Prediction

      The NIT isn't anything close to being the HOD Bowl. I don't think people realize how tough it even is to get into the NIT. There are over 350 D1 schools. You basically have to be in the top quarter to make it into either tournmnent. There are like 40 Bowl games...over 60% the schools that play DI football make one. Making the NIT is like...making the Gator Bowl or something. If somehow we ended up in the Gator Bowl that'd be the biggest deal the football team had ever accomplished.

      Miss Cherie Spencer

      As they say in the business, "We got a Steal"! Young lady looks like a potential WNBA pick. Hope all goes well for her at UNT first. I think her HS is in a lower classification because her game is more advanced than her competition (most games). Just finished watching a game against Benton, LA on Feb. 20, 2025. (NFHS Network) Looked to have scored about 30. Hope it doesn't hurt her average too much. #2 Ranked 2025 recruit in the state. https://allstatesugarbowl.org/news/2025/2/5/spencer-AOM.aspx https://www.lgrbasketball.com/2025-rankings Go Mean Green

      Women’s Hoops Begins AAC Tournament Monday Night Against ECU

      Good win, but if I were Burton, I would have us in the gym tonight shooting free throws until our arms fell off. Should have beat them by 20.

      AAC Tourney Prediction

      I wouldn't be surprised if one of those 5-8 teams makes a run. UNT has been hot and cold, but they just had a good look at Temple, so they should have a good game plan going into their first game assuming its against Temple. The possible match up between UAB/UNT could almost be a toss up, UAB plays later Thursday night and that could be important. The program need to be in the best tournament available to them. Because this team will most likely need to do some major recruiting again this off season.
