Q: Whats the latest on the conferences bowl agreements? Any chance for the American to play a bowl in Texas?

A: Were definitely in the mix for one of the bowls in Dallas/Fort Worth.

Armed Forces Bowl? Did the MWC not want to keep this bowl?

Were looking at the Liberty Bowl, which has the Big 12 on one side. I think well be playing the Big 12 in a couple of our bowls.

I thought the Big 12 had finalized their bowl line-up.

Were looking at renewing our games in Birmingham, Ala. (BBVA Compass Bowl), St. Petersburg, Fla. (Beef O Bradys Bowl) and possibly having our teams go to Hawaii a few times.

Are we out of the Hawaii Bowl? Moving to a rotation?

Were also looking at some other bowls. And were definitely serious about starting our own bowl and have looked at the South Florida market.

Is their room for our Florida bowl in Boca and theirs?

Well have a wide range of good opponents and good locations. I think well be playing the Southeastern Conference, the Big 12, Atlantic Coast Conference and were looking at games possibly involving a Pac-12 team

As far as I know and heard, we will be retaining a good portion of our tie-ins and will be taking a lot of tie-ins from CUSA as well. There has also been discussions about sending our #5 or 6 to play the Sun Belt's #1 in the New Orleans Bowl.

A lot hasn't been set in stone yet.

Lol. I doubt the AAC is even strong enough to have 5 or 6 bowl eligible teams.

Everything Aresco has said since he has been commissioner has been false. At this point I don't think one single P5 team has an agreement to play a bowl against the AAC. This is the same guy that asked for $300 million per year from media outlets, was laughed out of the room and then ends up taking a paltry $20 million per year.

      If I was Coach Hodge, I would have this blown up and posted in the locker room. I would tell the players that this is what people think of you and we need to go out and dominate every team defensively until people start putting some respect on our name. Then when people do start to put some respect on our name, we need to dominate teams some more to leave no doubt.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      Some are arguing on their board about who's better between Yale and UNT. They really can't get past the UNT loss. I really want to get poporn and make an account just to let them know we've finished higher than MN in NET every year since 2020.

      Seems like you've gotten over the speeding ticket well.

      Caponi fired

      I think this is a cop-out. He’s been doing this crap since the beginning of his tenure. The first memorable time was against Navy last year on the first drive of the game from the 1. If in the 5th game of year 1 he was already feeling like he needed to score every drive because of the defense, that's an even bigger problem. I think not having a reliable kicker or punter is the main problem. He went for the points a few times early this season and it didn't work out. Same with some punts that just don't do a good job at flipping the field. I've mentioned in other threads that special teams has also been a problem. Evans is 89th in the country in average punt yardage. We have to have a short kicker and a long kicker. Who the eff does that at this level? That's two coordinators that Morris flopped out on. I'm just waiting on us to move on from Svobada at season's end. Was looking over his profile and I didn't know but he also has Tight Ends this year. Where have the Tight Ends been lately??
