IF we play army won't it be in the Armed Fores bowl? Navy and Air Force are not eligible for a bowl are they?

A lot of sources are predicting we get stuck in the New Mexico Bowl. Way too many for comfort. Who knows how much research they're actually doing, but I don't like it.

southsideguy · November 28, 2018

No to the New Mexico Bowl. I rather play in the Frisco Bowl then the New Mexico Bowl.

Brett McMurphy has us in NM. He correctly picked us to NOLA last year. Scared scared scared. He has MTSU to NOLA and UAB to First Responder.

I'd be OK with the NM Bowl.

Probably Marshall.

So Brett Vito confirms what we already know about the bowl situation. Nothing.

southsideguy · November 28, 2018

I think if we play in the New Mexico we will be in a half-empty stadium. Frisco will be a sell out which looks better on TV? Plus more fans would be able to see the team play.

As someone who just got the 26th off from work against all odds, I’d really like to be rewarded with the First Responder Bowl.

Also, something fun about getting on the train in Denton and be able to go all the way to the bowl.

UAB would definitely want the 1st Responded if they can get a P5 as an opponent. MTSU?

It's actually the Rat's Mouth Bowl.

UAB to First Responder

UAB and all 500 of their fans that can travel the day after Christmas. That'll look hilarious in the Cotton Bowl

I don't know if they'll let us play two bowl games in the same season...

UTSA did it a couple of years ago, the North Texas Bowl and the New Mexico Bowl

Actually that was played in New Orleans from 2001 - 2004.

I would go nuts if we played in Frisco. Not just because I live in Frisco near the stadium but it would be a sell out and every fan would be our people. Seeing that this pic is right next to Toyota Stadium I think its good publicity. We are building an extension of the main campus a stone throw from the stadium and it would be free advertising. Plus a sell out would be awesome, especially on tv.

Not mention, the Star has UNT advertising 24/7. I work out there and see the ads nonstop. I bet there would be cool events around Frisco that week for UNT fans/students/alumni.
