Re: New Mexico bowl is official

Post by Aggie84025 » Today, 1:52 pm

With Wells leaving and us losing to boise as well, I think this is a good spot. I am just thankful it is not the potato bowl. While the drive is short it is just not intriguing to me. North Texas is a good team and will be a real tough opponent. If we had our full staff here I would feel confident about this game, but with a depleted staff I am worried about a let down. Hopefully the players are motivated to go and perform well. Had a great time we played there a few years ago.

We will be up on them by 2-3 possessions halfway through the 2Q.  Should make for an entertaining game that will get settled in OT

I'm going 21-7 at half only to lose by 3 at the end of the game... That's our normal cadence.

North Texas did a huge favor for USU when we led the way to sponsor them for SBC membership.  They were most appreciative of our school for helping them, too.

The Aggies will be the first ranked team (#25) for our favorite school to play in a bowl game.  That makes this a very special opportunity for the Mean Green.

Agreed,this will be a great challenge for the Meangreen

Then that same SCUMBAG school turned around stabbed in the back the very schools that had stooped to help them. USU can burn in hell for all I care, and take Karl and Rance with them. I hate that we are having to associate with them on any level.

They have proven themselves to be pure trash.

Please elaborate.  Not familiar with this story.

Yahoo bowl rankings named this the 12th best bowl out of the 39 bowls! 

There you go. 

I think the NM Bowl will be a barn-burner & if we beat the Top 25 USU Aggies maybe that translates to pre-2019 Top 25 votes leading up to the UHouston game at Apogee & then the PAC12 Cal Bears also in Apogee.  There is a path for Top 25 rankings in Denton—both OldDenton & NewDenton!

Top 25 sort of. We will not be preseason ranked in any poll. And we're playing Cal in California next year.

My bad on Cal part.  They “SHOULD”  be playing in Denton!  Wren?!?!😆

Mostly talking Top 25 points that can lead to a Top 25 ranking.

The NM Bowl provides one of the best matchup opportunities for CUSA during bowl season. This shouldn't surprise any of us.

I won't make the game. Can't due to budget, having a family of 5 kids including a 2 month old, and time frame. For those who can make it, please do. If you can make it, don't talk down to those who can't (not that I've seen this). We have had discussions of joining the Mountain West Conference conference to hopefully follow TCU's path. Now that we have a bowl game against the Mountain West at a relatively close destination (New Mexico), we as a fan base are complaining. This is a good opportunity. I just don't understand why we've had discussions hoping to join the MW conference and are now complaining about playing against this conference. Somebody please help with that? If it's just the financial aspect on such a short turnaround then I understand.

I think the MWC discussions on this forum revolves around the excitement of the kinds of teams they could bring TO Denton for basketball and football. It's never really been around the premise of, 'man I can't wait to get out to Fresno for the game'. It would debunk the ideology of regionalizing conferences, but we would without doubt be in a more competitive football and basketball conference. Traveling fan attendance would obviously struggle for teams coming to Denton and for Mean Green fans traveling to away games, but it would better position us as a competitive athletic program moving forward.

CUSA East schools can’t be closer than what many have expressed wanting UNT to be in a proposed  MWC East as a member with some schools from CUSA West in it—-that would be the only way to make it work.

MWC has more Top 25 programs that makes CUSA look like NCAA football novices.

🤔Who knows, maybe USU can return a big favor & sponsor us one day in such a MWC East division setup?

Adler, are you talking about them

leaving for another conference when we were in the sun belt? I don’t see that much or a problem and they went to a place that made sense for them.

Look where all the MWC bowl games are played.

That's kind of irrelevant since we're playing in one of the CUSA/MWC bowls. And one of the MWC teams are playing in one of the CUSA tie-in games. Plus bowls are typically regional so they would take that into consideration when they add/shift/subtract or do whatever to the inevitable bowl shifting.

In mwc New Mexico Bowl is nearest to us.

Regional? Why is San Diego playing in Frisco?

      I agree. Injuries are bound to happen. They almost did tonight. They did last season. Utah State played without a starter tonight and last night due to food poisoning. You never know. We need more than 8 guys prepared to play effectively.

      Utah State (11/29/24)

      Giving a few guys some rest and clearing the bench are two different things. We were up 17 against UNI with a couple minutes left in the first half and again early in the second half. Those are prime opportunities to sub in your 9th and 10th guys and give a couple of your main rotation guys a few minutes of rest. We actually had a double digit lead most of the second half against UNI. It was never really threatened. Edit to add it's kind of funny to suggest we were never in a position to clear the bench against UNI yet Utah State played 11 guys against us and 10 against St Bonaventure. Some get on for less than 10 minutes but I promise you a starter gets needed rest for those few minutes they get to sit. Maybe we should do as the top 30 team does?

      Utah State (11/29/24)

      the UNI game was a 9 point game with 3:30 to play. 57-48. we shut them out from there to push it to 20, but at no point short of the last minute or so was it even possible to clear the bench. everybody needs stop over-analyzing tonight's loss. it was a toss up...they made a few more plays than we did. play the game ten times and it's 5/5 with a top 30 team that might sneak into the top 25 by Christmas.

      Hard to blame the refs when we forced 16 turnovers and took 15 more shots. Just couldn't hit our shots. Sometimes you're cold. I'm going to agree with @UNTLiferwho said we should have played bench guys against UNI considering it was a blowout. Have to give your starters rest when you can, especially on the first of a back-to-back.

      oh no...a downvote. articulate a half-decent opinion or go the eff away. I swear actually having a winning program has made this board worse.
