Possible bowl dates

[Shark84]

Anyone know the bowl ties for Conference USA this year and bowl dates? Trying to look at holiday schedules.

[Philip Ferguson]

Everything I've seen so far this season has us in Dallas - some also predict Shreveport

I'd take a win over another P-5 school this year, Pac-12 would be OK but I would prefer another SEC school!!! GMG

I would rather a P5 not in the Pac-12. East coast bias is real and nobody who matters pays attention to the Pac-12. They might be the least respected P5 conference right now. I would love to beat a Big 12 or another SEC school due to those being the major local P5 conferences.

[UNTEngr.#43]

A Big 12 team would be nice to play and beat. GMG!!!

[RiseUNT]

We just need a win no matter who it is!

Do I recall that Florida State would not play us in last year's Independence Bowl ?

Just win.

GO MEAN GREEN

Any bowl.  Any opponent.  Just win.

Any Big Ten team in the SERVPRO bowl would be awesome. Most of those are recognizable P5 teams. 

And additionally, it would be in Dallas!

Spoiler Warning:  They have UNT vs Memphis in the Independence Bowl.  I'd take it.

But DD isn't at Memphis anymore.  A&M, anyone?

Very small chance this happens but a bowl game against TCU would be great. They look very beatable this year.

This would be great. Solidfy ourselves as DFW's team with a win. And, yes, they're beatable.

I just don't want to play in the tomb of the cotton bowl again.  We can have a big crowd and still looks like we aren't showing up for the game.  Besides the Cotton Bowl is a dump.  Yes, it has history but that was long ago. Suprised Texas-OU has not started playing in Jerry World yet. The game is played the day after X-mas.  Our fans will be at the after x-mas sales in an indoor mall.

Even the Cotton Bowl game has moved out of the Cotton Bowl.  

But I would take it over the Bahama mama's bowl.

I want to be in a bowl game where we can get a bunch of UNT faithful there. The NO Bowl last year was a freakin blast but our turn out was minimal. Yes, the Cotton Bowl is a dump but We covered up our whole side if my memory serves me correctly.

 

We just need to keep winning and we'll see what happens

[MeanGreenTexan]

I would rather play in the Servepro Bowl VS a P5 also-ran than in the NO Bowl VS the SBC champ...  10 times out of 10.

Not because of the proximity to Dallas, but because of the perception.   

The Troy smackdown last year hurt perception because we're supposed to be better than a SBC team. Period.  Doesn't matter that it was the conference champ & they were a VERY good team.
On the flip-side, a P5 team is supposed to be better than a G5 team.  Period.   So you put yourself in a more favorable situation when you win... and you lose nothing if you lose.

I have about 473,000 GF family members descending upon me on December 26th.  Any bowl is going to be a challenge for me.  Dallas Servproheartoffirstresponderscottonbowlmasoleum bowl would be the easiest for me to attend as I can go while she's ferrying about passengers on arriving flights. 

[strikes]

TCU!

[Salsa_Verde]

I love being able to talk about which bowl North Texas will be going to....in October. 😎

[greenjoe]

There was talk of the New Mexico Bowl last season.  I haven't heard it mentioned this year.

[Hunter Green]

Any bowl, any team, any where. 

I'm there!

GO MEAN GREEN!

[southsideguy]

CBS fb bowl projections have us in New Mexico bowl playing San Diego State. 

Has UCF in the Fiesta Bowl, I wish we could have gone undefeated and made it to upper-level bowl.   If we had you know the powers to be in P5 world would had us vs UCF.  Not that is bad but they would protect the P5 teams from beating one of the NCAA darlings.  Good luck to UCF and hope they beat the pants of the P5 school they will face.
