What bowl is available?  It’s a weird & wacky year & if some bowl in Texas wants to invite UNT we’d have as many fans at said bowl as they’d allow.

GMG!

 

Almost all are still open. The only bowls that already have any participants selected are the Frisco Bowl (SMU vs TBD) and the Boca Raton Bowl (UCF vs TBD).   I think I heard more will be selected later today.

This is part of the largest number of Mean Green fans ever for a bowl game.  Some have said close to 40,000.

According to Brett Mcmurphy,  the AAC Bowls are all set.

Potato- Tulane

Montgomery- Memphis

New Mexico- Houston

Frisco- SMUg

Birmingham- Tulsa

Boca- UCF

NY6- Cincy

The only thing that could change is if Cincy loses to Tulsa and Coastal ends up ranked ahead of them.

If Darden doesn’t play in the bowl to avoid injury and guys like Tyreke and Novil are still out it would be a mistake to accept a bid. If it’s a game before Christmas there will basically be no extra practice time.

I have no doubt if by circumstance we do receive a bid we will accept. However. I would hope we consider the potential outcome versus the benefit. While I would like to see more of the Mean Green on TV I have no desire to see us play a team who can put 50+ points on us if not more.

Nobody ever wants to lose especially by 50.  But if offered, can we possibly refuse ?  There is some payout involved, the TV exposure, whatever that is, and the spiff it provides for our players and fans.

Despite having season tickets, I was forced to miss the last 2 games.  The first games I’ve missed since Apogee opened.  Speaking very selfishly, yes.  We deserve another game.

Ugh, as much as I would like another game, do we really deserve a bowl bid?

Absolutely not. But any time we can get more practice reps, even if just a few extra weeks, we should take it.

I agree, but should point out that we already received a few extra practice weeks, due to COVID delays, which have already eaten into the bowl practice benefits teams would normally get.  Bowls start next weekend.  Nonetheless, if offered a bowl, we should jump on it.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I saw USF up in the 3rd quarter, but didn't get to see the OT. Any news during the game about if Hawaii will get a new stadium too? I was sad to hear the Aloha Bowl was in such bad shape a couple years ago and it had to be abandoned.

      I’m there with you as one of the few that watched it. I actually didn’t start watching until about 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter, but still got my money’s worth.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I guess few saw the five overtime slugfest in Honolulu. Oh well I did and it was a blast of a game. Spartans roaring back for Coach Niumatalolo who lost his father last week. A native Hawaiian who played for UH, took his team to the Arizona Memorial for remembrance. Battling it out against a team traveling over 4,600 miles, further than any team this season including that game in Ireland 🇮🇪. That bounce in field goal to send the game into OT as the 4th quarter expired was awesome. A team building, bringing a new stadium to our league, a team seeking consecutive bowl wins after some dire years. Yeah I was one of the few that watched it. Love the storylines and shots of my old island home. It was historic. The most OT’s in bowl history Oh yeah and our conference is 3-1 in the bowl challenge. American rising. GMG

      Dave Fleming New Volleyball Coach

      This is a very surprising pick. Frankly,I don't get it; a very veteran coach; who has coached at the same D2 school forever almost. Why would this coach even be considered a good fit at NT? A .68% winning D2 coach who has apparently never coached at a higher level. Is NT cost cutting? I hope he is wildly successful, it would be hard to not be an improvement over the previous coach. However, this IMO is a very questionable choice.
