How is this not a mountain west bowl? 

I'll take any bowl this year but it would be nice to get something better than Boise, and that doesn't include Shreveport or Frisco other than the convenience of them being closer. 

 

EDIT: this may be the last year for the Frisco Bowl for a few seasons. FCD is basically rebuilding Toyota Stadium in sections for the next 3 years, the capacity will be almost halved in that time.

Sometimes I don’t know what Jerry Palm from CBS sports is thinking

After last night, not sure we want the Commodores!

Good point, but would we rather play a SEC team or a Sun Belt team?

Vanderbilt!  They just beat Alabama, so by virtue of UNT beating Vanderbilt in a bowl game the Mean Green could easily take down Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide!  Right?  Right?

Well we might be able to fill a half a bowl in Frisco.

I'm hoping that NT has already started on working to get the game moved to DATCU.  But I know that isn't likely... ☹

You would think there would be some sort of connection to make it happen with UNT's growing presence in Frisco, although I'd think the Ford Center would be the most likely outcome. It sure would be a more appropriately-sized venue for the crowds that bowl games has drawn...

My fear is the game gets moved to  Ford Stadium,  not Ford Center.

Way too early for bowl location speculation.   Hell the playoff is still on the table for us if we run the table.  And if all the higher ranked G5 lose more games than we do on the way to a AAC title we still might get in.   Don't get me wrong I won't scoff at being bowl eligible but I want an AAC title game appearance to get excited about post season football.  Far more people will watch that AAC title game than a random mid-week Bowl Game that may not have existed before rivals like UTSA joined FBS.

Denton doesn’t have the hotel capacity to host a bowl.

Yes and No.  Saban retired.

Christmas in Boise, could it get any better?

Just convince your Wife that it will be like a Lifetime or Hallmark Movie and you can go.
