It will be interesting to see what time kickoff is scheduled for in Frisco. That is a Friday (Jan. 7) and there will be the usual heavy rush hour traffic. In addition, the Cotton Bowl game will be that same night at 7pm in Arlington. :o

Saw the Kenny Chesney concert last summer there in a packed house and the parking was fine, but the exit off the freeway to get to the parking was a a freakin nightmare. They don't have that system figured out at all just yet.

Assuming there is not a Texas team in the game, all 3,500 attendees should have no problem finding spaces. If a Texas team is in it, maybe the 9,000 spectators can carpool.

I bet this game has a decent draw. You are talking about a good destination area, post holiday drama, your team in the title game, I think there will be a good contingent. Ease of access into the NT region plays a understated advantage.

I don't know who would consider Frisco a destination area. It's basically just a bunch of chain restaurants, stores, and pretentious attitudes. (unless that's changed since 6 years ago)

Pizza Hut park is a nice facility, designed by none other than HKS Architects firm out of Dallas. It seats 20K, has nice wide concourses, good concession set up, large restrooms, and there's not a bad seat in the place. I've seen many events there (concerts, games, etc) and always enjoy the experience. I do live about 1 mile from there and know how to navigate the area, but all in all it's a good venue. The parking is somewhat troublesome if your're not familar with the area and backroads, but just get there early and bring a case of beer. Good for the FCS to get out of Chatanooga and get in a larger media market. So the FCS Championship and Super Bowl in the same year (within a month). Not bad...

      EM is the qb whisperer

      I don't want to hear it? You, untjim, went on a rant about how Texas/Oklahoma didn't produce great linemen anymore because of the style of play at the high school level. You implied we could not have great defense anymore because of what the states produced. I then asked what the excuse was for two G5 schools in our state and your answers were in fact defense. I baited you into basically acknowledging those two schools are successfully finding players who make-up decent to good defenses with the same pool of high school players we are surrounded by. So again, what's their excuse? We've established their defenses are decent to good. Why can they do it but we can't?

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      We do alright with the North Texas chant sometimes, we just need to make it a staple and I think people will do it.

      State fans showed up because they rightfully expected to win in this game. If the AD thinks they're going to depend on people to show up just cause NT has a team there, they are dead wrong. There are a few, but there are many many more who will not show up when they don't think their team will win. There are too many obligations and opportunities to devote precious time and money watching a team lose.

      After Morris and Sheffield transferred, how many here were actually expecting to win? Many of us were just hoping TXST didn't handle us like they did UTSA this year or Rice in last year's First Responder Bowl. Sure, it's the head coach's job to have his team ready to play and in position to win regardless of the adversity faced, but it's still incredible the performance Mestemaker had. Tonight was better than any game C. Morris has had since Memphis. Coastal Carolina lost their starting QB to the portal and got dog walked in their bowl game against UTSA in their own building. Yes, the loss increases our bowl futility streak to an active high, and it sucks to lose to an intrastate program in an inferior conference, but that shouldn't take away from Drew's game. The biggest disappointment to me was how badly we were outnumbered by TXST fans. We went from packing the lower level of the Cotton Bowl to being matched ON OUR OWN SIDE. Like our team, our fans also struggle to wear green. However, there should be optimism surrounding next season. Eric made a poor hire with his first DC obviously, but made the tough (but right) call in getting rid of him. Next year's presumed starter will be in his last year of eligibility, so no losing another 4000 yard passed before the bowl game. If we struggle to another 6/7-win season and bowl loss with next year's schedule, I think Eric's seat should be pretty hot again.
