Saw an Arkstfan post that indicated that currently with 2 invites the Belt can have only one second option for a 3rd bowl at this time and the 3rd bowl option is Detroit.

Reasoning ? Don't have a clue.

AS I recall....the reasoning was that the SBC hasn't had enough history of having lots of bowl eligible teams.....to warrant more than that. (the 2 tie-ins, with a potential third one).

ESPN story says the Dallas Football Classic will take the 7th ranked Big 12 team and the 6th ranked Big Ten. That doesn't sound very classic to me.

The Big 10 schools travel the best -- hence why every Bowl wants them so much. It's cold as crud up there in December/January, they're just looking for reasons to to go south.

Dallas Football Classic?

That's it? That's all those guy could come up with as a name for a bowl game? What...did they call and ask the Houston/Texas Bowl, Fort Worth Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Hawaii Bowl, and New Mexico Bowl for advice on naming?

Okay, I know...Fort Worth Bowl has changed it's name. But, damn...don't any of these guys have a creative bone in their bodies?

How about:

The JFK Real Death/Badu Fake Death Memorial Bowl

The New Cotton Bowl Game at the Old Cotton Bowl Bowl

The Hey We Got ACU To Play Here A Couple Of Years Ago Bowl

The We're Fighting Urban Decay With Nouveau Yuppie Uptown Mixed-Use Projects Bowl

The Lots of Cheap, Foreclosed Condos Available Nearby Bowl

The Plenty of Cheap Commercial Office Space Available Nearby As Well Bowl

The Don Hill and Sheila Farrington Dealmaker Bowl

The John Wiley Price Windshield Wiper Bowl

The Craig Watkins We Know 'Tough On Crime' Doesn't Work Bowl

The This Was Almost Where Jerry Jones' New Stadium Was Going To Be Built But We Had A Woman Mayor Bowl

The We're Catching Up With San Antonio In The Illegals Demographic Bowl

The Lupe Valdez It's Not My Fault Bowl

The Constable Cortes Cartowing Bowl

The Tom Leppert How Did A Boring, Generic, Vanilla White Male Get Elected In This Town Bowl

The Can You Believe We've Had Tom Landry and Barry Switzer Coach In This Town Bowl

The Have You Seen A Scene With More Cocaine And Boob Jobs Than In This Town Bowl

The Cityplace Was Supposed To Be Two Towers Stretching Over 75 Bowl

The Suburbs Are Stealing Our Population Bowl

The Lookout Detroit, Philadelphia, and Cleveland, We're Right Behind You Bowl

The Press One For English, Press Two For Spanish Bowl

The Tom Hicks Didn't Borrow Any Money To Help Pay For Anything Associated With This Bowl

The Our Area Transit System Is Deeper In The Red Than Your Transit System Bowl

The We Have A River You Can Neither Swim Nor Fish In Bowl

The That Hunt Brother In Fort Worth Is Still Laughing At Us Over The Reunion Arena Deal Bowl

The For Pete's Sake Frisco Landed The FCS Championship Game And All We Have Is This Game Bowl

The Were You Robbed Or Assualted In Deep Ellum or Lower Greenville Last Night Bowl

The You Should Have Been Here When The State Fair Was Going On So You Can Understand Why This Bowl Is Where It Is Bowl

Those 25 or so are much better than just the Dallas Football Classic.

They were hoping you would infer all the above from "Dallas Football Classic."

The Our Area Transit System Is Deeper In The Red Than Your Transit System Bowl

This was my favorite. :D Although, I'm not sure it's true. It's gonna take us 30 years in Los Angeles to pay for the improvements they're currently working on.

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      I would like them to be good enough to be Quad 1 but not too good to get Will Wade hired away because they're our only home game on the books for next year lol.

      UTSA Game Poll

      UTSA is 4-0 at home and 0-5 away for 4-5 overall. NT is 3-2 at home and 2-2 away for 5-4 overall. They haven't gone thru the 3 game gauntlet NT has. Homer says we'll win by 14.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      figure one main thread to keep track of how our opponents are faring. the AAC is off to a pretty strong start...overall record of 29-7. plus currently Oregon State, High Point and Utah State / St. Bonaventure are all 3-0 - Memphis (2-0) with two quality wins v. Mizzou and UNLV. they should be undefeated (though San Francisco isn't a gimmie) heading into a 11/25 game with UCONN. - UAB (2-1)...I thought their loss to Vermont wouldn't look too bad, but UV has two pretty ugly losses now. really intriguing game tomorrow 11/15 v. High Point - FAU (2-1) look tough...their loss was by 6 to UCF who already beat then 13th A&M. - the other undefeated teams, ECU (3-0), Temple (3-0), Tulane (3-0), Tulsa (3-0), Wichita St. (2-0) collectively really haven't played much of a schedule...best win is probably WSU over WKU...but they've made pretty light work of what's in front of them. Games of interest over the next week or so: 11/14 - Northern Iowa @ Wichita State 11/15 - UAB @ HighPoint ; Temple @ Boston College ; FAU v. Charlston and Liberty (11/16) 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next)

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      Sure but how good is Charlotte? They beat Richmond who lost to Marist. Utah State's other D1 win is against 0-3 Alcorn State who lost to an NAIA school. Again too early to really tell either way.

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      they dropped 100 on a conference mate. currently 47 in KenPom. Memphis is at 37 and currently our highest rated opponent.
