Thank you, Wren!

[Philip Ferguson]

Here's a public shout-out of thanks to Wren and the entire Athletic Dept for giving us a season. 

I was worried over the summer there wouldn't be any football at all.  Or, the season would be so diminished that it would be almost like no season at all.  Or, all the "safety protocols" would be so extensive that I'd feel like I'm having a rectal exam every time I went through the gates.  Luckily, none of that happened.

Of course I wish the team had a better season.  But, as a fan, I'm happy I had was able to be in the stands cheering on the team.  And, we managed to get an extra home game out of it and maybe even a local bowl game!  

I'm sure the school, Wren and his team had a lot of obstacles and headaches to deal with this year.  So, thank you to all of those people for giving us loyal fans something to rally around on a Saturday during this pandemic.  I look forward to seeing everyone again on Saturday, September 4, 2021 - GO MEAN GREEN!

Amen to that! So glad I got to see 7 home games this year.

No doubt.

Yea thanks for the season. Unfortunately our 2n straight losing season that exposed the weakness of this team that have been identified on this forum.

Bowl game...wow. I don't know if I would want that kind of national attention of another arse whoopin on that stage.

This team should not be going to any bowl game.

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

There's talk of adding one more game to potentially get us to bowl eligiblity. Yes, things have been rough this season but it's basically a free year, our young guys got a lot of in-game experience, and we have a better idea of our team now for years that do count. I'll take any more games we can get.

I don’t down vote but I disagree, respectfully, with the above post.

I’m hearing we have a good chance at a bowl even with our record as of now.

With 11 (the last I checked) bowl games already cancelled, I just don’t see how. Bowl games always shuffle around conference affiliations so I see that happening again. If bowl games stuck to their conference affiliations, I could see us getting in one. But I just can’t see that happening. Not this year.

On the post game radio show, they talked of bowl games being very regional this year due to the pandemic.  They thought there is a possibility there could be a rematch on the horizon with SMU at the Frisco Bowl.  

[greenjoe]

That would be a “home” game for NT.

I missed part of it, but I though I heard them say we may know something by the end of the weekend.  Frisco is a short drive for me - GMG!

If they’re making them regional games, why wouldn’t they choose TCU over UNT?  TCU/SMU is a big rivalry and it didn’t get played this year. ESPN would make far more money off of a TCU/SMU matchup than they would a UNT/SMU matchup.

THANKS WREN & STAFF

Honestly, same thought went through my head. 

[EAGLE83]

The New Mexico game is in Frisco this year

[meangreen11]

Heavy lift from Wren this season for sure.  Wish the season had gone better though.

This would be a natural

Ok, glad I’m not the only one.

I don’t know how TCU draws but North Texas would bring more fans than Southern Meth.

The win requisite has been waived this year.

The only reason I would like to see a Bowl this year would be for the extra practice time.

Honestly, with our defense, I'm not so interested in seeing us play a team where we could easily get 60+ points put on the boards against us.

SMU has already accepted the invitation to the Frisco Bowl.   They just don’t know who they are playing yet.

Well, I don't know who that would be. UTEP's starting QB was out with the VIRUS, his replacement threw 4 interceptions, ,and they still gained 500 yards. In addition, their entire defensive secondary was out, which aided our cause.
