All I remember is that Cincinnati did not want to play  in The New Orleans Bowl and their coach was upset when it was announced. I also think it was a last minute designation by CUSA, like about a week before the game. However I have slept since then and am sure someone with a better memory can comment.

Thinking back, UC had a big basketball game that same night. Maybe they thought more of their fans would show up for that than a fun time on Bourbon Street?

My bad. You are correct. Odds are that we will be playing in either the Frisco Bowl or the yet unnamed bowl also to be played in Frisco.

Frisco Bowl is played at Toyota Stadium, wonder if the unnamed bowl will be at The Star? I don't think capacity is much different between the 2.

Toyota is around 50% bigger than Ford Center.

Does anyone remember how good or bad Cincinnati was when we beat them? They were CUSA champions, but what was their record?

How about when we beat UNLV? 

The Longhorns won like 5 straight bowls prior to this year? Anyone know any of their opponents or their records?

I want a match up we can win. Celina High school or their college equivalent is fine with me.

Cincinnati was 7-6 (6-2) coming into the N.O. Bowl. Wins that season were over TCU, Temple, Louisville, Memphis, Houston, UAB and East Carolina. A couple of their losses were by by 3 to West Virginia and by 4 to Ohio State.

Yep, you are right. I was thinking Ford Center was around 18k. Never the less, much too small to host a bowl game. I am geared up ready to buy tickets no matter where they play.

I know that’s the number listed for Toyota, but I think it’s actually around 18,000.

My guess is early Thursday (gives time to change markings) like 4 PM.  Probably shown on ESPN+

Ummm.  It's just the official confirmation of -A- bowl game and time.  I don't think there's any official word yet of where UNT is going.

My point was that most people would have to look it up.

Five years from now, nobody will care if Miami was 6-6 or 8-4. Just win the game.
