So if my math is right, that means we're going to look towards Conference USA to fill that spot.  North Texas plays their home games just 3 and a half hours from Independence Stadium, and has never played in the Indy Bowl before. Their fans have been feeling it this year too, going as far as setting a record for attendance at their home, Apogee Stadium, when hosting Louisiana Tech this season. They're a team that would be excited about the call, and their fans would likely travel...especially if it meant a date with Miami, and possibly a statement win for the program.

Not sure where these media outlets get this. There is no tie-in with Big 12 this year for First Responder's bowl.

Or the ACC which is where Virginia Tech is from... but I’d take that game too

I just saw the Hilton close to the stadium is sold out.  I'm going to make a hotel reservation now just in case.  I hope we end up there...

Great property... There will most likely be lots of cancellations as soon as the match up is announced.

Um, I think you are misleading folks by combining sentences together from different paragraphs.  Just sayin’.

The article clearly states they believe LA Tech would be the easy clear pick to fill that spot if a CUSA team is needed.  UNT only comes into play if the Bulldogs didn’t want the slot for some reason, not that the folks from Ruston would ever turn down a bowl offer hoping for something else.  😉

I just put it together to get a general "summing up" of the article.  I guess we'll find out for sure in a couple of days...
