This is fine, I guess.
I'm kinda with everyone else saying we shouldn't root for a TXSt. matchup.
It's one of those scenarios where it's really bad for us if we lose, and "eh" if we win. This should be a LATech/LAMo scenario where we attempt to stonewall that effort for literally anything else.
Honestly, I like this option best. This spares many of our fans from having to witness in person (and also saves NT the embarrassment of a poor turnout in our own backyard), and if you happen to be rich enough to fly out to HI for a bowl game, at least you're in HI!
Exactly. Being blown out by another Texas program that is typically ranked beneath us would be the ultimate way to unravel any positive momentum of getting into a bowl game in the first place. Over two seasons, Morris is 0-9 vs FBS teams that finished the regular season with a winning record and 1-2 against those that finished 6-6. We shouldn't be favored against any team, but if we play someone like 6-6 Western Michigan, it should at least be competitive--and the negative effects of losing would be pretty minimal. It would have no effect on our standing with our potential recruits.
Keep in mind that the Frisco Bowl is going to happen one week after the portal opens, which means the week leading up to it will be filled with announcements of our players leaving (along with the two weeks following it). Getting an absolute kick to the crotch in that game that we might be playing with a bunch of backups on offense could really set things back, heading into the offseason.
