UNT vs Troy? In Hawaii? They can't be serious.

[Mean Green Matt]

Did they even look at which conferences had agreements with which bowls?

Likely they did not.

There's an "*" by it to indicate that Troy would be filling in for a conference that didn't fill its spots.

I'd prefer a location that our fans can at least HOPE to go. But I guess anything is better than nothing.

[ADLER]

Sorry, not even remotely interested in that worst case scenario.

[UNTFan23]

Texas State to the HoD bowl?!?

[UNTflyer]

That means they predict we will lose the C-USA championship

[Green Mean]

Will be tough going to Hawaii if that is where they end up. But I'll try to make it a vacation out of it and try to make it there.

The bowl invites are not predetermined by conference finish I don't think.

[UNTflyer]

Not definitively, but generally the CUSA loser goes to Hawaii

[rws69]

Looking at the other C-USA teams in this prediction:

C-USA 1 - Eastern Carolina

C-USA 2 - North Texas

C-USA 3 - replaced - this must assume MUTS is not eligible

C-USA 4 - Rice

C-USA 5 - Marshall

C-USA 6 - Tulane

Just checked three-night packages for two using the Hawaii Bowl website.

$2800

[meangreanmick]

Rather have new orleans, or dallas, or fort worth

[UNTexas]

No! Troy? No!

I'll be shocked if we end up anywhere but Dallas unless we manage to win the conference and go to the liberty bowl.

[Green Dozer]

I wonder if some Dallas powers might not push for a team whose fans have to travel and book hotels, thus more money spent at restaraunts. Most of our fans won't stay overnight and many will tailgate. That said, I don't know what CuSA team that would be.

With the UNT Dallas partnership that would be very difficult for them to do, besides you will have a Big Ten opponent who will help the travel dollars.

So just how many people can we cram to a room?

[KingDL1]

How many AA miles does it take to get to Hawaii?

[All About UNT]

So just how many people can we cram into a large suitcase?

FIFY

[JesseMartin]

Of course, there are upsides here if this does happen.

1) Hell of a going-away present for the seniors, even with few traveling UNT fans, wouldn't you think?

2) If we get the Hawai'i Bowl, then we were the CUSA runner-up our first year in the conference.

3) We haven't had a bowl berth in 9 years. If UNT gets the offer, take it.

I'd rather see a bowl that is geographically more reasonable for most of you to travel to, but roll with it and worry about how many will make the trip when the time comes. If the WORST we get is #2 in the conference and a great Hawai'i "vacation" for Orr, Trice, Thompson, etc., then that's not so bad.

[Eagle1855]

There's no telling. The Big XII will likely be unable to fill two of their bowl tie-ins. I'm not sure how that affects us. But there are still several games to be played.

I will say this: beat Rice and I think we run the table. At that point, we need Tulane to slip up... twice. Which seems less likely given their win over Tulsa this past weekend.

Either way, we'll be at 6 wins by Homecoming. After that, too many variables to consider in a conference that's truly wide-open.

Being that it's in the middle of the week , Hawaii is highly unlikely for me . Might be the only spot I couldn't make it
