I'm not necessarily complaining that we have what looks like plenty of opportunities to travel to a bowl game, but does it seem to anyone else like they never predict North Texas to be the farther-traveling team? Obviously some of this week's predictions contradict this point, but I feel like we're always slotted in the Armed Forces/Frisco/First Responder bowls with another team traveling like 1,000 miles to play us.

I don't know that I have a point here, just rambling.

Personally I would love for us to play in Ft. Worth. However I have gone to my last Frisco Bowl.

That’s bc DFW is so nationally seen as a destination and we are usually lesser than our predicted opponent.
