I'm missing something in this scenario. The Heart of Dallas Bowl matches a CUSA team against the seventh pick from the Big 10. Iowa only needs to win one of their last three games to be bowl eligible and would become #7 after Ohio State, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, and Nebraska.

That's why it is Sports Illustrated and not Sports Reported.

It's the matchup that we wanted vs. Mac's alma mater. Besides, he's experienced at beating the Hawkeyes having beaten them something like four straight times when he was at Iowa State.

Very true. But as mentioned they really need to pick up that win Saturday because they play Purdue. After that it's Michigan and Nebraska. Obviously they could win any of those games, but much more difficult after the Purdue game.

I'm still of the camp to win out and get some help to land in the conference title game and eventually the Liberty Bowl.

It is still so surreal to me that we are having these sorts of topics. It would be rather interesting to get a snapshot of topics on the first page of the forum from 11/05/08 to 11/05/13.

It isn't a dream!! Go Mean Green!

Just Photoshop Teflon Todd's face inside a flushing toilet bowl and you've got exactly what you're looking for.

So, Texas State has wins over South Alabama, Georgia State, and Prairie View. I know PV is a FCS school and Georgia State should be a transitional school. I'm not sure about the status of South Alabama but I think they are in their second year of transition. With that said, Texas State has wins over 2 schools that are transitional schools and so do those count as regular wins or not?

I REALLY don't want Texas State. It might be fun in some ways, but I'm ready for a shot at an AQ name. Depending on the outcome of the conference championship scenario, beating a big name school is likely our only chance at cracking the Top 25 for the first time since the 70's. I'd be surprised if we got more than a couple of votes at 10-3 with a bowl victory over Texas State.

I think that USA is a full FBS now. I believe last year was their transition year.

That's because Wisconsin was predicted to be a BCS At Large team to play in the Orange Bowl which then moves the rest of the Big Ten teams up one slot.

Who do the players want to play in a bowl game? That's what I want. I want our players to be rewarded for a great season and to prove their meddle and seasonal improvement on the field so that the seniors feel as accomplished as the possibly could feel before walking off that field one last time.

Something tells me texas state would not be in that fairytale, but I still think our players would crack some heads.

Honestly, after seeing this team lose for so long, I'll take any kind of bowl win at this point. I'll worry about playing the big names once we can become an established winning team.

So yeah, TxSt would be a welcomed matchup for me.

Isn't Texas State provisional and could only be used as an absolute last resort after all non-provisional teams have been used up?

No, they're full FBS now. Texas State started the move up a year before UTSA I believe.

Check ESPN, they have the Mean Green playing in the HOD Bowl against either Notre Dame or Northwestern. Better matchups I think. Imagine what it would mean for UNT to defeat a team with a history like ND. Huge opportunities for the program right there.

TXST may win some (overall) votes for:

- Their 9/1/12 (30-13) routing over the University of Houston. Voting boards are fickle.

- Their 9/28/13 (42-21) routing over the University of Wyoming (albeit non-conference but still a "w" in the win column). The game didn't finish until 1:00 AM Sunday (weather delay in San Marcos) so by this time reporters had already closed out their stories (received little/no media coverage).

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.
